About The Author

My name is Paul T Zimmerschied. I am retired from the United States Air Force.
I am the Author of two publications, “The Adventures of Nick Hoffman Voyage to America,” which is a faith based historical novel about my great grandmother Annie Hoffman Zimmerschied’s brother Nick Hoffman. The story is about the Hoffman’s migration to America from Switzerland in 1845. Recommended reading for ages 10yr to adult.

The Adventures of Nick Hoffman project is the first book of a series not yet written. It is the creation of the adventures of a real person. Stories with known history, facts, places, and characters woven into each story.

My other publication is my memoirs, “ My Life My Memories, Angels Have Been Watching Over Me Hebrews 1:14.” It is my life--a story of adventure sadness, redemption and inspiration. No ordinary memoir. A must read.

My life experiences and many job titles, Cowboy, Farmer, Barber, Sailor, welder, Metallurgist, Aviation Sheetmetal technician, Machinist, and Author is of a greater value than a degree to me. My education consisted of a GED, 2 years of college, and many fine schools I attended in the Navy and Air Force.

The Adventures of Nick Hoffman Voyage to America, is an enjoyable read. The author paints the picture with the way the story is written. When I closed my eyes I could imagine myself right in the story. I also, really enjoyed how the author shared the word of God and the love of God that the Hoffman family had. I highly recommend this book and can't wait for the next adventure to be released so I can order and read it!

The author was able to successfully blend in an interesting story line with factual events in describing the emigration of his family ancestors from Switzerland to America. The pace of the story was realistic enough to make it an exciting read with a personal touch that made the characters believable.

This is a fast read about Nick Hoffman, a Swiss immigrant on his way to America. Seen through the eyes of the boy Nick, the most interesting portions of the book deal with sailing and blacksmithing which was the technology of the times. I look forward to the next book dealing with Nick's adventures.

This is an easy-to-read adventure novel about a real family and their endeavors when immigrating from Switzerland to America during the 1840s. I thought it provided excellent detail on the difficulties encountered in stagecoach and on-ship travel at that time. More than once the travelers relied on prayers to get through encounters with bandits, sickness and lost without food.
