Download or read book The Wisconsin Office of Emigration 1852 1855 and Its Impact on German Immigration to the State written by Johannes Strohschänk and published by Max Kade Institute. This book was released on 2005 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1852 Wisconsin established the Office of Emigration to attract European--mainly German-speaking--settlers to the state. Drawing on contemporary newspaper articles and privately published emigrant guides, as well as official publications of the emigration office, the authors document the office's influence on the settlement history of early Wisconsin and assess that influence against the backdrop of state politics in the mid-nineteenth century. Complementing the text are rare and interesting photographs illustrating the work of the office and the people it served. This book is invaluable for genealogists interested in learning more about emigration, as well as for anyone interested in Wisconsin history and German American studies.

Download or read book The German American Press written by Henry Geitz and published by German-Amer Cultural Society. This book was released on 1992 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though it will never be possible to establish an exact number, scholars of the German-American press have estimated that about 5000 newspapers and periodicals have been published in German in more than 300 years of German immigration to the United States. This collection of essays on various aspects of the German-American press shows clearly the role of that press in the process of acculturation of German immigrants on the one hand, and on the other, retention of some of the old institutions, most notably the German language. Bracketed between articles on the press of the colonial period and that of the present is a rich collection of essays on various aspects of the topic. While no one volume can adequately deal with all, or even nearly all, the aspects of the phenomenon, this contribution to the field of German-American Studies does present a rather broad spectrum of topics and, thus, serves as both a source of valuable information and an introduction to further work.

Download or read book German American Immigration and Ethnicity in Comparative Perspective written by Wolfgang Johannes Helbich and published by Max Kade Institute. This book was released on 2004 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making comparisons is central to the study of immigration and ethnicity because these fields by their very nature examine patterns of contact and interaction among different groups. By adopting a comparative approach, historians can test traditional stereotypes about various immigrant populations, pointing out the defining characteristics of these groups and explaining why certain cultural patterns persist while others disappear. The essays in this volume include studies on the similarities and differences among German Catholics and other Catholic groups in America, the political activities of nineteenth-century German and Irish immigrants, and German-American responses to the differing policies of the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany.

Download or read book Pickled Herring and Pumpkin Pie written by Henriette Davidis and published by Max Kade Institute. This book was released on 2002 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pickled Herring and Pumpkin Pie is the reprint of a best-selling nineteenth-century German cookbook that was adapted for Germans living in America. As several German-language editions were published in Milwaukee, the recipes and other information evolved considerably, and the book was eventually translated into English with the title Practical Cookbook. The result is a fascinating mix of recipes from Old and New Worlds, ranging from traditional German fare (see the Beef Rouladen) to very American dishes (try the version of Strawberry Shortcake) to frontier cuisine--how about some roasted beaver tails? In addition to such culinary delights, Pickled Herring and Pumpkin Pie offers a glimpse into life in a nineteenth-century immigrant household and how immigrants tried to preserve the old ways while adapting to a new environment. Features of the cookbook include advice on how to use such "new" ingredients as corn or equipment like the Dutch oven, and how to shop in America, grow a proper kitchen garden, preserve food, cook medicinal dishes, and entertain properly. Pickled Herring and Pumpkin Pie offers authentic immigrant recipes in their cultural, social, and historical context. It is a delightful resource for epicures with a historical bent as well as for those who enjoy learning more about the day-to-day life of their ancestors.

Download or read book Wisconsin German Land and Life written by Heike Bungert and published by Max Kade Institute. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cooperative project of a group of German and American scholars represents an innovative approach to immigration research. The focus is on migrants from farming communities along the Rhine who relocated to Wisconsin in the nineteenth century: from the Westerwald to Reeseville; from the Cologne area of Cross Plains; from the Eifel to the so-called Holyland in Fond du Lac and Calumet Counties; and from Rhenish Hesse to Washington and Sheboygan Counties. Taking different approaches, the authors of the essays concentrate on the migrantsÆ relationship to the land, using, among other sources, official documents from both sides of the Atlantic, such as census and family records, land registers, plat maps, and land situation in their original home, the migration process itself, and their experience in Wisconsin.
