This etext was produced by Gardner Buchanan "The Hohenzollerns in America" by Stephen Leacock is a satirical work written in the early 20th century. This book humorously imagines the former German royal family, the Hohenzollerns, as they emigrate to America after the fall of their empire, detailing their struggles and absurdities as they adapt to life in the new world. The story is narrated from the perspective of Princess Frederica, who recounts the challenges and misadventures she and her relatives face, highlighting the contrast between their previous grandeur and their new, humble circumstances. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for a comedic exploration of the disorientation and absurdity of the Hohenzollerns' new lives as they embark on a voyage to America. As they board the ship, the Princess observes her relatives in disarray, having traded their royal garb for the common attire of steerage passengers. Among the characters are Uncle William, her unkempt relative, and Cousin Ferdinand, who is quick to adapt by befriending American merchants. Their initial days at sea are filled with humorous reflections on their past status and present degradation, underscoring the pervasive theme of identity loss. The scene is rife with irony as the former royals navigate the challenges of their new social standing, setting a comedic tone for their subsequent adventures in America.
