This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Where Do You Stand?: An Appeal to Americans of German Origin His grandchildren who knew him not as a defender of a great cause but as a dear, slender old gentleman with snow-white hair and a ruddy skin and faded, childlike blue eyes - a snuff-box in his waistcoat and a red silk handkerchief trailing somewhere behind - will always remember him gratefully as their most welcome playmate. The "Kuss Walzer" and "Als ich noch im Flugelkleide" and certain bits of Chopin today retain for them a magic of their own which he, thirty or more years ago, first evoked from the keys. In the midst of a great battle, fellow American and fellow fighter, your old playmate salutes you! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German-Americans and the European War: A Reply to Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard and Others We all know how this feeling was intensified at the out break of the war, and how everybody who refused to align him self on the side of the allies was assailed with a fury that at times appeared almost irrational. It has not abated, on the contrary it seeins to be stronger and fiercer than ever. The time has arrived when a comprehensive reply to the charges uttered should be made. If I'call my attempt to formulate such a reply an answer to Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard and others, I do this because Mr, Villard has in the form of a lecture before the Laurel Hill Association of Stockbridge collected all the accusa tions made against the naturalized citizens, especially the German Americans, and presented a formidable appearing indictment. Taking this document as the basis for my reply, I am given the opportunity to take the charges up point by point. In addition, Mr. Villard lays stress upon the fact that he was born upon German soil of a German father, and he uses these facts in con nection with the wellflknown friendship existing between his father and the late Carl Schurz to create the impression that he is especially fitted to speak on the attitude of the American citizen of German nativity or descent. I deny'this claim most emphatically, for while it is true that Mr. Villard's father was a German, and he himself was partly educated in Germany and speaks the German language, it is an undeniable fact that his viewpoint is distinctly English, that his knowledge of Germanhis-tory is deficient, and his insight into German conditions and the German spirit is badly warped by prejudice and passion. As to myself, I came to the United States nearly forty years ago, am a citizen since 1884 and have ever tried to be loyal and of service to this republic. I have frequently been at odds with other german-americans because I opposed actions which in my opinion might produce antagonism between the German element and the rest of the people. Perhaps the fact that many years of my life were devoted to an honest effort to bring about a. Better understanding between the American and the German people, gives me a certain right to make this reply, However, I speak for myself, have no mandate from any organization or any large number of my countrymen, and say what follows solely because I believe that somebody should publicly resent the insults showered upon us. If we cannot convince our enemies that they wrong us and are serving their country whose welfare they have constantly on the tips of their tongues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A German-American's Confession of Faith In view of the bitter and ill informed criticism which my stand during the present war has evoked from many Germans and German-Americans, I think it a duty both to myself and to the cause which I represent to bring together at least some of the documents in which my course of action is contained. They consist of articles and other kinds of contributions to various magazines and newspapers between October 1914 and May 1915, dealing successively with the following topics: the moral and spiritual forces of contemporary Germany, the question of American neutrality, the duties of German-Americans both toward the land of their fathers and their adopted country, the mission of America for the peace of Europe. Slight as are these contributions to the literature of the great world conflict that engulfs us, they are at least inspired by the endeavor to be loyal to obligations old and new.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Germans in the United States The history of the Germans in the United States is too comprehensive a subject for a brief sketch. Yet the bare' outlines of a portrait often impress the characteristic features more vividly than color and detail. The history of the Germans in this country goes back to the earliest colonial period. Recurrent waves in the eighteenth were followed by great tides of German immigration in the nineteenth century, and these carried into the population of the United States an element second in amount only to the contribution of the English stock.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from America's Case Against Germany I have attempted in the pages that follow to describe the origin and development of the con troversy which was the immediate cause of war between the United States and Germany. The diplomatic exchanges dealing with the subma rine issue are not accessible to every one; and in any event they contain so much verbiage and are so arranged that they will not be resorted to in order to secure a knowledge of the issues involved. I have sought to furnish a chrono logical account of Mr. Wilson's policy - narra tive and explanatory, not critical or defensive, for it is too early to pass definite judgment.
