Welcome to North American Czech-Slovak Heritage, the podcast dedicated to celebrating the rich heritage and vibrant stories of the Czech and Slovak communities across North America.
In today's episode, we explore the captivating story of Augustine Herman, a notable figure whose legacy bridges the Czech and American worlds. Born in Prague, Bohemia, Augustine Herman was not only a skilled cartographer and merchant but also a prominent landowner in colonial America. His journey from Prague to the New World, where he acquired vast tracts of land and mapped out significant territories, sheds light on the early colonial expansion and the diverse backgrounds of the settlers who shaped America's early history.
