October 3, 1868.
The "Stuttgart Evening News" published a job advertisement.
Urgently needed: construction workers.
Requirements: Skilled workers.
Familiar with various German-style architectures.
More than five years of work experience.
Family members can accompany them.
Work location: Overseas.
Benefits: Housing allocation, free education for children, eight-hour workday, monthly salary of 3 Taylors and 5 Groschen.
Such an advertisement might be considered a scam in any era, but its content is indeed very tempting for workers in the Württemberg area.
Opportunity always visits the unlucky ones, but whether they can grasp it is uncertain; in this era where systems are not yet perfect, workers live in great hardship.
Especially unemployed workers who were dismissed by their bosses for various reasons; Fisher was one such worker abandoned by his boss due to age.
Fisher is actually not that old, just in his thirties, but bosses always prefer the young and strong.
