Featuring more than a hundred images taken by Edward J. Kemper, a gifted horticulturist and viticulturist, the book depicts life in Hermann during the height of its cultural and economic achievements. Although Kemper's photographs center around his family, friends, and neighbors, they encompass the "essence of Hermann" through his eloquent visual realization of a golden age of German American culture.

The images, along with supporting commentary by Anna Hesse and the contributing editors, explore the economic, cultural, and social life of the community, detailing Hermann's traditional German practices as well as the influences of developing American technologies.
