About the Book

Robert Mugge's second book-Saloon Man: A German Immigrant Battles the Limits of Liberty, 1870 to 1915-focuses on his great-grandfather, the "original" Robert Mugge who came to America at the age of seventeen; made his way to Tampa, Florida while it was still a settlement; and became a hugely successful businessman. Because his core businesses were alcohol-related at a time of oncoming temperance-and because he hired, partnered with, and supported African Americans during Jim Crow segregation-the "saloon magnate of Tampa" was also controversial.


As author Michael Tisserand writes in his foreword, "A hallmark of any Mugge film is that it is both a documentary and a celebration of lives that are lived with staggering amounts of creativity. It is in this tradition that Saloon Man might be best understood." Or as Mugge writes of his ancestor, "He created businesses the way others compose music, paint pictures, or write books: as an extension of his inner self."


Noting that, in the book, "we see Mugge encounter and try to persevere over the forces of history," Tisserand asks, "What are the instances in which our personal histories meet world history? How do larger movements and events shape us, and when do we have the opportunities to shape them? These are questions that filmmaker and author Robert Mugge invites us to consider as we read his majestic accounting of the life of immigrant, entrepreneur, and saloon-keeper Robert Mugge." Tisserand concludes, "Few of us will be granted a chronicler who will bring such rigor and compassion to our lives-but all of us can benefit that this German-born saloon man and city builder ended up with a great-grandson who was born to tell the tale."
