Travel NotesTravel Notes is a translation of Notatki z podrozy
by Stefan Nesterowicz.
In 1909 Stefan Nesterowicz was sent as an agent by the weekly Ameryki-Echa (Echoes of America) to
the south and southwest of the United States to visit Polish settlements. He published his writings
as Notatki z Podrozy in the next year. His journey covered four states: Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Texas. Nesterowicz’s original Polish version and the English translation by Marion
Moore Coleman (1969) have been out of print for many years.
The Board of Directors of the Polish Genealogical Society of Texas began the journey to bring this
all important work of Stefan Nesterowicz to the forefront of our society. After exploring several
avenues with concerns of copyright, it was decided to turn to linguist, Elizabeth McNeilly, for a
new beginning with an original translation. Photographs included only in the 1910 publication have
been extracted, enhanced and included in this new book.
This fascinating translation will be available on November 11, 2007. The cost per book is $17.95;
Texas residents must include $1.48 sales tax. Postage and handling: $3.50 for one book or $4.50 for two.
