""Since Leaving Home"" is a compelling personal narrative by Albert Wehde, tracing an extraordinary journey across continents and through the shifting tides of early 20th-century history. From his initial departure from Germany to his extensive travels in the United States, South America, and the Far East, Wehde provides a vivid account of his life as an adventurer and skilled craftsman. Central to the work is Wehde's harrowing experience as a political prisoner during World War I. His account offers a rare, first-hand perspective on the legal and social atmosphere of the time, documenting the challenges of incarceration and the resilience of the human spirit under duress. The narrative captures the essence of a world in transition, blending personal anecdotes with broader historical observations.
Readers interested in 20th-century history, memoirs of political prisoners, and accounts of global exploration will find ""Since Leaving Home"" an insightful and engaging record of a life defined by wanderlust and significant social upheaval. Wehde's prose offers a candid look at the immigrant experience and the complexities of international politics during a period of global conflict.
