An 1880s or 19th century overview notes a shift on Missouri roads from American to German ownership. Germans now control large farm tracts in St. Louis County and beyond, praised for thrift, method, and prudent farming. The piece cites counties like Franklin, Lafayette, St. Charles, Montgomery, Warren, Callaway, Cooper, Carroll, Ste. Genevieve, Perry, and Cape Girardeau as German strongholds. It argues youth prefer towns and cities, while Germans possess patience and yield maximization, ensuring German farming endures where Americans once held land.
