Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Germans in North America and the German Element of New Netherland Most of the early German settlers of Maryland came from Virginia, New Netherland and New Sweden. The best known are the Herrman and Hacke families, and Johann Lederer. Augfustin Herrman, who spent the most important time of his life in New Amsterdam, is known as the first surveyor of Maryland and designer of the first map of Lord Baltimore's colony; for this work he was granted a large tract of land in Cecil County (Bohemia Manor) Johann Lederer, a native of Hamburg, who immortalized himself as the discoverer of the Virginia Valley, was naturalized in J67I. The Labadists during their travels in Maryland meta settler named Commegys from Vienna and at a plantation "a person who spoke high Dutch ... a kind of proctor or advocate in the courts." Carolina The first German of renown who set foot on Carolina soil was Johann Lederer. This was in 1670. In the following year, perhaps in connection with his exploring tours, the colony "received a great addition to its strength" from Dutch people of New York. According to Bernheim, who claims he has his information from the old chroniclers, the majority of these Dutch were Lutherans. This, if true, would partly explain the disappearance of a number of German Lutherans from New York about this period.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often overlooked because of their high degree of assimilation, people of German descent are actually the largest single ethnic group in the United States. German culture is far more rooted in America than commonly thought. For example, hot dogs, hamburgers and beer wouldn't be classic American staples without German immigrants. In addition to enormous contributions to mainstream beer culture and food culture, they have also added to America's agriculture, religious values and economy. This history highlights German contributions to America, examining their roles from the earliest colonies through the settlement of the Old Northwest and past the Interwar Period. While most German immigrants belonged to the main Lutheran and Reformed churches, a diverse cast of immigrant groups is encountered, including Moravians, Huguenots, and Rhinelanders. Through them, discover the long-standing history of the German descendants and their impact in the United States beginning more than 200 years ago.
