The translation of Kurzgefasste Geographie fur Deutsche Schulen is A Brief Geography for German Schools. It was written in 1864 exclusively for students attending German language schools in North America. The majority of the text is devoted to topographical features of the North American continent, with a section for each of the 50 states. It also includes short, descriptive chapters on each continent. The cover is illustrated with a drawing of Atlas holding up the world.
It should be noted that St. Louis, Missouri, where it was published, had a very large German immigrant community and numerous bilingual German-English schools during the 19th Century. Author Bernard Neumann (1828-1901) was born in Bavaria and immigrated to what is now the city of St. Louis with his family. He taught in the local common or public schools.
