The very title of the book carries the message of contents of the book. Some of the noble hearts worked for freedom struggle of this country against their own countrymen, some for spread of education amongst women and establishment of Indian missions abroad for exposition of Indian philosophical thoughts and spiritual practices thereby bringing about a drastic change in age-old stereotyped notion of torpid Indian life. Some others rendered wonderful service to bring about a new lease of life of abundance by supplanting the age-old drudgery and poverty of the people in some region or the other in India. Some Western women sacrificed their whole life in and for India at the cost of blissful wealth and well-being in their own countries. Can we forget and ignore those noble hearts who shed their lives to render service to lift up an ebbing life of a vast humanity, with flames of faith? The book, in a very short span, brings to light those lost souls to affirm once again faith in man and his nobility.
"This is the third volume of the German Immigrants series (see also Items 6580, 6581, and 6583), this one listing passengers from Bremen to New York between 1863 and September 1867. Owing to the total destruction of the original Bremen passenger lists, this volume, like the others, is the only practical means of discovering information on thousands of individuals for whom immigrant origin data was thought to be irretrievably lost. In effect, it is a partial reconstruction of the Bremen records, based on official passenger lists and manifests in the custody of the National Archives. It is, therefore, a record of arrivals rather than departures, and it is the closest we are ever likely to come to duplicating information in the lost Bremen records"--Publisher website (December 2007).
