The Life Story of Hubert Dielen, 1855-1926, an autobiography

This autobiography is about a man who began his career as an apprentice butcher traveling throughout Germany from 1872-1874. He lived near the German-Dutch border in a time period that some today consider one of the "best of times" to have been alive. Hubert served three years in the German army beginning in 1876, then continued his colorful life as a civilian. If there is such a thing as "living life to the fullest," then Hubert Dielen wins the prize. He managed to avoid all of life's pitfalls unscathed in addition to having a wonderful family of ten children. Hubert's success continued on to the third generation! What an example Hubert sets for all of us. The book includes two detailed maps, a handwriting sample, twelve photographs and more!
