Louis Hensel had the opportunity to meet President Abraham Lincoln. This facilitated a visit to the Whitehouse at an historical meeting between President Lincoln and American Indian Tribe leaders on Friday, March 27, 1863. It turned out to be a hair-raising experience for the President. This meeting was documented in the Atlantic Century on March 28, 1863 and, to our knowledge, Louis Hensel wrote the only eye-witness report of it in his letters to his granddaughter. This book is skillfully translated by Sigrid Wilshinsky from the Suderlein German handwriting into modern English. Hensel was a Renaissance man who lived a life of travel and adventure, as colorfully described in these letters to his granddaughter, Emma. He was 80 years old when he started to write to her about his long life in America. Apparently, he had left Germany shortly after Emma’s grandmother had given birth to his daughter. He had not communicated with his German family until the last ten years of his life, when he located them and started to write. It appears his granddaughter Emma and her husband were the only people who answered his letters and stayed in touch with him until his death. Hensel tells of how he worked and traveled from Germany to France and Holland and finally arrived in New York City in 1848. On his first day in Manhattan, he sought and found a job and began working as a carver of artistic ivory pieces in an Art Shop. He later moved to Long Island to become a farmer. At the onset of the Civil War, he entered the Cavalry regiment in Brooklyn as an Officer and Master of the Horse. Later, Hensel spent many years traveling with the German Opera Company of New York which performed city to city, from New Orleans to St. Paul, where he vividly describes a wanton destruction and disruption of Southern cities in the path of the War. He gives very realistic accounts of places and of his adventures with animals and people that give a spellbinding view of his life and events. His vibrant descriptions that take you to The Mississippi, St Paul, Savannah, Cincinnati, Richmond, Atlanta, Winona, Chicago, Washington, DC, Niagara Falls, Port Jervis, NJ and Honesdale, Carbondale, Forest City and Hawley in PA, reveal not only his adventuresome nature but also his appreciation of the nature and beauty that he found in this newly found land, America. “Reading Louis Hensel’s letters is like peeking through a rip in the curtain of history and seeing through the eyes of one who had experienced so much,” Wilshinsky says.

Louis Hensel was born in Germany in 1817. He settled in Hawley, PA with his family. and in his later years, became a music teacher and taught violin and guitar.. He died in Hawley, PA in 1908.
