Book Synopsis Pioneers of Old Monocacy by : Grace L. Tracey
Download or read book Pioneers of Old Monocacy written by Grace L. Tracey and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 1987 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a definitive account of the land and the people of Old Monocacy in early Frederick County, Maryland. The outgrowth of a project begun by Grace L. Tracey and completed by John P. Dern, it presents a detailed account of landholdings in that part of western Maryland that eventually became Frederick County. At the same time it provides a history of the inhabitants of the area, from the early traders and explorers to the farsighted investors and speculators, from the original Quaker settlers to the Germans of central Frederick County. In essence, the book has a dual focus. First it attempts to locate and describe the land of the early settlers. This is done by means of a superb series of plat maps, drawn to scale from original surveys and based both on certificates of survey and patents. These show, in precise configurations, the exact locations of the various grants and lots, the names of owners and occupiers, the dates of surveys and patents, and the names of contiguous land owners. Second, it identifies the early settlers and inhabitants of the area, carefully following them through deeds, wills, and inventories, judgment records, and rent rolls. Finally, in meticulously compiled appendices it provides a chronological list of surveys between 1721 and 1743; an alphabetical list of surveys, giving dates, page reference--text and maps--and patent references; a list of taxables for 1733-34; and a list of the early German settlers of Frederick County, showing their religion, their location, dates of arrival, and their earliest records in the county. Winner of the 1988 Donald Lines Jacobus Award

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the first German immigrants to northern Indiana is the story of the beginnings of South Bend. The predominant immigrant group from the 1840s to the 1870s, the Germans helped build South Bend from an isolated trading post into a thriving industrial city. They also played a key role in transforming the surrounding wilderness into rich and fertile farmland. Using first-hand personal accounts and public documents, German Settlers of South Bend illustrates the lives of these pioneer immigrants and their growing city. The material has been collected from a large number of sources on both sides of the Atlantic, including more than 200 German letters from the 1840s to the 1870s that provide glimpses into the day-to-day lives of these early settlers and their families back in Germany. Descendants of immigrants from all over the United States and Germany have come forward with genealogies, stories, and pictures, providing a far-reaching portrait of the times.

Book Synopsis Christoph Feuge by : Robert Lamar Feuge
Download or read book Christoph Feuge written by Robert Lamar Feuge and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America has been and still is a land of immigrants, a melting pot of many races and creeds. From 1832 until 1847, people poured into Texas from the American backwoods and from Europe. They sought the same things: land and a new life in a democratic society. As part of that wave, German immigrants came between 1845 and 1847. They came legally and helped establish what would become major cities in Central Texas. This story is about one immigrant and his family who left Germany expecting to rise from subsistence farming to commercial farming in the New World, only to be thrust into the role of pioneering farmer by an inept emigration company, the Adelsverein. Of course, legal emigration was more difficult in 1846 than it is today. The statement, they came over on the boat, belies the fact that voyages across the ocean were long, tedious, and dangerous. Wagon trains from the coast into the interior of the state were no easier. Hostile Indians, intent on keeping their cultures intact, occupied the land they settled. Creating a farm out of raw wilderness was not for the weak of heart or weak of limb. It took work, more difficult and more dangerous than most of us in the 21st century can imagine. See what it was like to emigrate during the nineteenth century through the story of Christoph Feuge and his large family from Heiningen (Germany) as they travel to Karlshafen (Texas) and on to the colony of Fredericksburg (Texas). Through luck, bold action, and sheer determination, he manages to survive hurricanes, disease, and years of absolute destitution to establish his dream in America. To round out his story of emigration, anecdotes and accounts from other emigrant diaries are added into his story. Thus, the story remakes Christoph Feuge into a Everyman German Immigrant, one who experiences all of what those early German Pioneers went through to put down roots in Texas. Robert Lamar Feuge was born and raised in Fredericksburg, Texas. He is the great, great grandson of the title character of this book. From his earliest days, he has been interested in the history of Fredericksburg and the German settlers who lived it. What was it like to emigrate from Germany to Texas in 1846? A graduate of Fredericksburg High School and Howard Payne College, Robert received his PhD from the University of New Mexico in 1969 and spent much of his adult life in San Diego. He has been an avid beach volleyball player, hiker, and collector of southwestern Indian art. Today, he lives in retirement with his wife, Margaret, and two miniature Dachshunds in Sedona, Arizona.
Book Synopsis Citizens in a Strange Land by : Hermann Wellenreuther
Download or read book Citizens in a Strange Land written by Hermann Wellenreuther and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2013-08-05 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Citizens in a Strange Land, Hermann Wellenreuther examines the broadsides—printed single sheets—produced by the Pennsylvania German community. These broadsides covered topics ranging from local controversies and politics to devotional poems and hymns. Each one is a product of and reaction to a particular historical setting. To understand them fully, Wellenreuther systematically reconstructs Pennsylvania’s print culture, the material conditions of life, the problems German settlers faced, the demands their communities made on the individual settlers, the complications to be overcome, and the needs to be satisfied. He shows how these broadsides provided advice, projections, and comment on phases of life from cradle to grave.

Book Synopsis Germans in America by : Walter D. Kamphoefner
Download or read book Germans in America written by Walter D. Kamphoefner and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a fresh look at the Germans—the largest and perhaps the most diverse foreign-language group in 19th century America. Drawing upon the latest findings from both sides of the Atlantic, emphasizing history from the bottom up and drawing heavily upon examples from immigrant letters, this work presents a number of surprising new insights. Particular attention is given to the German-American institutional network, which because of the size and diversity of the immigrant group was especially strong. Not just parochial schools, but public elementary schools in dozens of cities offered instruction in the mother tongue. Only after 1900 was there a slow transition to the English language in most German churches. Still, the anti-German hysteria of World War I brought not so much a sudden end to cultural preservation as an acceleration of a decline that had already begun beforehand. It is from this point on that the largest American ethnic group also became the least visible, but especially in rural enclaves, traces of the German culture and language persisted to the end of the twentieth century.
