Written in English by a German migrant who lived in Lima, it is a unique source for the history of Peru, and for international trade and migration. Readership: All interested in the history of Peru, of Altona and Hamburg and of international trade and migration in the 19th century, and anyone concerned with autobiographical writing at that time.
