Hi List, I MEANT TO WRITE: Remember too that the agents were NOT so bad.....!!!!! PS. Remember too that the agents were so bad...many of the folks from the Empire of Germany and surrounding areas had someone already in America who was writing to the Old Country telling their families how much land was available here, and how they could own land and make a living.
