Abstract: The present publication deals with America as few people know it and as Voskovec and Werich sang about it in their popular sessions, and it is based on the author's lifelong ant research. It focuses on the history of emigrants from the historic Czech lands and Czechoslovakia and covers the period from the discovery of the New World to the present day. It includes not only the United States, but also Canada and Latin America. Individual sections deal with the pioneers, the arrival and settlement of immigrants in various states and regions of the Americas and the establishment of Czech centers and communities, the public and social activities of the settlers, and the various types of immigrants and their contributions to the Americas. Although they were not numerous in number compared to other ethnic groups, their contribution to America was phenomenal.
