Book excerpt: This work brings together, in a condensed format, a broad selection of over 2,300 prominent Americans whose ancestors were of German-speaking origin. For the benefit of the reader, each of these distinguished citizens has been categorized according to his or her contributions and placed into thirteen user-friendly directories, namely: Artistic Talents; Sporting Personalities and Brewers; Clergy; Educators, Scholars and Historians; Engineers, Inventors, Bridge-Builders and Tinkerers; Entertainment World; High Finance and Big Business; Government; Medical Sciences; World of Music; Printing and Publishing World; Natural Sciences; and, Men and Women at War. A typical entry includes, when available, the full name, birth and death dates, and which generation of the family in America that individual represented. Oftentimes the entries will include the stage-name or the original spelling of the surname if the name had been changed in America. Each table is preceded by text which attempts to place each occupational category into an historic context. Selective profiles of representative individuals citing specific achievements in their respective fields are included as well. In the introduction, entitled "Broadly Speaking, Just Who Were the German-Americans," the author examines the data from the thirteen directories in great detail. For example, there are tables dividing the immigrants into areas of origin, and tables exploring dates of immigration. The introduction also attempts to help the reader bridge the linguistic barriers created when reverting American names back to the original German. To this end he has created seven basic rules of name recognition, and has also provided a table listing the twenty-five most common German names and their American English equivalents. The appendices include an abridged glossary of European localities, an every-name index, and three separate bibliographies. Also included is an abridged list of contemporary German-American organizations operating both here and abroad.

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.

Book Synopsis The Germans in the American Civil War with a Biographical Directory by : Wilhelm Kaufmann

Download or read book The Germans in the American Civil War with a Biographical Directory written by Wilhelm Kaufmann and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of 216,000 German-born Americans and well over 300,000 first-generation Americans of German descent who served in the Union and Confederate armies. It includes a 500-name biographical directory of the outstanding German-American officers in the Civil War, as well as bibliographical references, and footnotes. The American Civil War has often been referred to as the defining moment in American history, and the purpose of this work is to illuminate the role of German-Americans in that conflict. Originally published in 1911, this work has long been considered the standard on the topic. Wilhelm Kaufmann knew, or corresponded with, many German-American Civil War veterans. His articles were first serialized in the German-American press and widely screened and reviewed by readers, many of whom, of course, were veterans of the Civil War. Based on their comments and critiques, Kaufmann polished and re-worked this history for many years. Finally, he decided to bring out his work in book form. Kaufmann's history is a German-American history directly based on extensive use of primary sources, and had been widely reviewed by many of its subjects. Of special value is the biographical directory of German-Americans who fought in the war. This work is of great value for all those interested in the Civil War, and especially those interested in German-American involvement. In the 1990s, Don Heinrich Tolzmann organized an editorial team to get Kaufmann's work translated and edited, and it was finally published in 1999. It has long since been out-of-print, and fortunately has now been brought back into print. A wealth of maps and an index to full-names, places and subjects add to the value of this work.

Book excerpt: This is a concise survey of the role that America's largest ethnic group, the German-Americans, has played in American history from the 17th century to the present. The term "German-American" in this volume refers to immigrants and their offspring from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other German-speaking areas of Europe. Hence, the term "German" is used in a linguistic, cultural and ethnic sense to cover the sum of German-speaking immigrants and their descendants. This study is divided into six parts. Part I, "Immigration and Settlement" traces German-American history from the earliest beginnings into the present time, while Parts II and III demonstrate the role German-Americans have played in "Preserving the Union" and "Building the Nation." Part IV gives an overview of the German-American experience. Part V discusses German-American Heritage Month, and Part VI is a select bibliography. Also includes map that shows percentages of German-Americans in each of the United States, a census table and a fullname index.

Book excerpt: "In 1976, interaction between the United States and Germany has probably involved more people and was more frequent than ever before. Germans from all walks of life, individually and in groups, decided to discover and see for themselves the land of unlimited opportunities in which so many of their countrymen have succeeded from its very beginning to the present day. They left behind a distinguished record of accomplishments and gave the best their native country had to contribute to a new nation, in which today twenty-five million profess to be of German ancestry"--Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the most comprehensive history of German migration to North America for the period 1709 to 1920 than has been done before. Employing state-of-the-art methodological and statistical techniques, the book has two objectives. First he explores how the recruitment and shipping markets for immigrants were set up, determining what the voyage was like in terms of the health outcomes for the passengers, and identifying the characteristics of the immigrants in terms of family, age, and occupational compositions and educational attainments. Secondly he details how immigrant servitude worked, by identifying how important it was to passenger financing, how shippers profited from carrying immigrant servants, how the labor auction treated immigrant servants, and when and why this method of financing passage to America came to an end.
