You would believe that any history of the state of Michigan would have to include the contributions of the German-American population, as they are nearly one-third of the state's entire population. But in 1927, when this history was written, this was not the case due to the anti-German feelings prevalent at the time. John Andrew Russell, acutely aware of this discrepancy, wrote his history to help these ignored people feel proud of themselves and their ancestors for their part in the settlement and growth of the state of Michigan. This work provides a comprehensive survey of the history of German immigration and settlement, and the growth and development of German-American institutions, as well as contributions made by German-Americans to the building of the state. It contains a great deal of information on local and county history in Michigan, as well as extensive biographical and bibliographical information.

The James brothers' parents were Kentuckians who moved to Clay County, Missouri, where Jesse was born, and he and his brother Frank joined Confederate guerrillas, Quantrill's Raiders, in the Civil War. In 1866 James formed a robber band, robbing banks and eventually trains in Missouri and nearby states. In the time the gang existed, it made off with an estimated total of $500,000. It was said that Jesse was \"chivalrous to women and good to the old and poor,\" which earned him a Robin Hood reputation.

Germans were advised to learn and master English in order to be successful, but, at the same time, Bogen stressed that Germans should also preserve their heritage.

A professional soldier in the army of Prussian King Frederick the Great, Steuben came to the American colonies in 1777 at the urging of Benjamin Franklin to act as an advisor to Gen. George Washington. Washington's Continental Army was preparing for its desperate winter at Valley Forge, licking its wounds after a string of nearly crippling defeats at the hands of the British and in dire need of support. Bolstered by his belief in the cause of colonial independence, Steuben set about the total reorganization of the Continentals' military structure with a new emphasis on drilling, discipline and time-honored battlefield tactics and strategy. Though harassed by Congress and frustrated by inefficiency and corruption within the military infrastructure, the dynamic baron overcame the shortcomings of so many of his contemporaries and succeeded in transforming the Continental Army from a slipshod troop of guerrillas into a motivated, highly disciplined corps of soldiers and officers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCronau's gripping narrative sees General Steuben through the darkest days of the American Revolution at Valley Forge to the brightest victories of his career at the Battle of Monmouth and the Siege of Yorktown.

The founders were German mystics who believed in divine inspiration, and who traced their religious ancestry back to the pietists of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. They opposed Lutheran formalism, refused to take oaths and render military service, and would not allow their children to attend Lutheran schools.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 1817, the group experienced a spiritual renaissance, and in 1842, several members came to the U.S. to explore the possibilities available here. This advance guard purchased 5,000 acres of the Old Seneca Indian reservation near Buffalo, New York, and six villages were built for the 800 emigrants who came over. According to the constitution of 1843, everything except clothing and household goods was to be held in common. By 1854, the community was in need of more land, and the time seemed appropriate for moving west. Eventually, it was decided to buy land in Iowa, and the community of Amana was established. By 1862, six villages lay within a radius of six miles in the Iowa River Valley, and the village of Homestead was bought outright to make the seventh, so that the community had access to a railroad for its produce. In 1859, the community was legally incorporated, and lived under a simple constitution until 1932.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDuring the Great Depression in 1932, Amana decided to abandon communism, and reorganized as a stock company with the usual rules applicable to corporations in a capitalist society.

Much remains to reflect the German religious heritage of the community. Amana has become one of the major tourist attractions in the Midwest due to its unique architecture, its interesting shops and excellent restaurants.

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.

But most people do not realize that Germans first arrived in America in 1608, settling at Jamestown, Virginia, and, within a few years, Germans began joining the Dutch settlement of New Netherland (later New York) and other colonies. These early settlers did not come as a group of families (as was the case with the Germantown settlement), nor were they sponsored by an organization. For this work, Dr. Tolzmann chose to collect, into one volume, material originally published in the early 1900's which identifies and provides information on these pre 1683 German settlers. Chapter 1 by Otto Lohr (1912) identifies who the first Germans were in all the colonies and refers to the most prominent individuals. Chapter 2 by Herman Schuricht (1898) provides detail on the first Germans in Virginia--who they were and their trades. Chapter 3 by John O. Evjen (1916) reveals that close to half the population of the New York settlement was German; this chapter includes a biographical directory of New York settlers, giving the names and background of a substantial number of them.

Today, Wisconsin represents one of our \"Germanest\" states, with no less that 55 percent of its population claiming German origin. During the great \u003ci\u003eauswanderung\u003c\/i\u003e of Germans to America of the mid-nineteenth century, hundreds of thousands of these emigrants lost no time in finding their way to Wisconsin and the other four states carved out of the Old Northwest Territory, often seeking a railroad connection to the midwest immediately upon disembarking at their port of entry. This phenomenon practically ensures that today's German element is able to trace its origins in Wisconsin as far back as 150 years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJ. H. A. Lacher's treatise on the German element of Wisconsin, originally published by a division of the Steuben Society of America in 1925, is still the standard introduction to its subject. It has now been edited for republication by German-American authority Don Heinrich Tolzmann. The first section of the work focuses on Wisconsin's rich German religious establishment: Catholics, Lutherans, German Evangelical Synod, German Reformed, Evangelical Association, Liberals and Jews, and it gives the names and places of origin and settlement of pioneering clergymen and other immigrants in the various denominations. Section Two looks at representative German-Americans and their vocations in Wisconsin, with emphasis upon agriculture, art, education, temperance, business, music, cuisine, medicine, and the bar. One of the keys to Germans' assimilation in America was the ease with which they were able to transplant various social and cultural institutions in the building of a German-American identity in their adopted homeland. This is borne out in the third section of the book, which homes in upon Wisconsin German politics, the German press, sports, thrift, men of letters, German place names and patronymics, and the impact of World War I. Genealogists will find references to some 750 German surnames at the back of this volume, while persons seeking to do further research into Wisconsin German history or genealogy should consult the selective bibliography at the back of the book, which has been updated by the editor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDon Heinrich Tolzmann\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1925, 1999), 2004, paper, 90 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806349091\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-9446\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genealogical Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39859127484534,"sku":"102-9446","price":19.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-9446-1500px.png?v=1777310769"},{"product_id":"152-t5025","title":"German Heritage: Guide to the State of Ohio","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center; color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLOW QUANTITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book contains a timeline of events relating to the German immigration and settlement in Ohio, influential people and their contributions, current sites open to visitors for tours or reenactments, and a list of libraries and museums in the state that provide additional resources for research.
