The following blog posts regard progress in writing ‘Wandervögel: A Prussian Family’s Passage Through Leipzig.’ They were first published on Facebook with the aim being to share news with family, friends and others who 'Liked' what I was doing.
For interested readers' convenience, I now share all 100+ posts here (see those pages linked in the lower right column).
After all, as social media guru @GuyKawasaki writes "of all content, you should share your own blog posts."
