CHAPTER XXIII "the Rear-guard Of The Revolution" At the same time that frontiersmen were helping the cause of the sea-board colonies, they were engaged upon an enterprise daring and strenuous enough to have, of itself, furnished an outiet for less plentiful energies. It gives one a fresh conception of the strength of this young giant of the West when one sees the people of the East building a nation, raising an army, fighting a revolution; and knows that at the same time, to the westward, the same nationality was passing the barrier of the wilderness, struggling with stealthy Indians and British soldiers, and conquering from both their possessions in the Mississippi Valley. Among these pioneers of Kentucky and Tennessee, these pathfinders of the Wilderness Trace, and backwoodsmen led by Clark into " the Illinois country," there were many Germans. In fact, it would be strange were it otherwise, for "the West" of those days was reached through the Shenandoah Valley, and its hunters, pioneers, and permanent settlers came from the Valley of Virginia and the mountains of the Carolinas--both sections containing many men of Teutonic race. Among the men who early wandered over Kentucky and Tennessee, before any permanent settlement was attempted, we find the names of George Jager, Michael Stoner, Caspar Mansker, Isaac and Abram Hite, and John and Abraham Bowman. It was Jager who first fired the imagination of Simon Kenton by a description of the wonderfully rich country of " the cane brakes'--Kentucky. Jager had been taken prisoner by the Indians when a child, and had spent years living in their villages and hunting with them; on many of these expeditions he had been upon buffalo hunts in Kentucky, and he described the richness of the country...

Download or read book America and the Germans Immigration language ethnicity written by Frank Trommler and published by University of Pennsylvania Press Anniversary Collection. This book was released on 1985 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unprecedented in scope and critical perspective, American and the Germans presents an analysis of the history of the Germans in America and of the turbulent relations between Germany and the United States. The two volumes bring together research in such diverse fields as ethnic studies, political science, linguistics, and literature, as well as American and German History. Contributors are leading American and German scholars, such as Kathleen Neils Conzen, Joshua A. Fishman, Peter Gay, Harold Jantz, Günter Moltmann, Steven Muller, Theo Sommer, Fritz Stern, Herbert A. Strauss, Gerhard L. Weinberg, and Don Yoder. These scholars assess the ethnicity and acculturation of German-Americans from the seventeenth century to the twentieth; the state of German language and culture in the United States; World War I as a turning point in relations between German and America; the political, economic, and cultural relations before and after World War II; and the midcentury state of affairs between the two countries. Special chapters are devoted to the Pennsylvania Germans, Jewish-German immigration after 1933, Americanism in Germany, and a critical appraisal of current research. American and the Germans presents a fascinating introduction to the subject as well as new perspectives for a more critical and comprehensive study of its many facets. It can be used as a reader in the fields of German studies, American studies, political science, European and German history, American history, ethnic studies, and German and American literature. Although each of the 49 contributions reflects the state of current scholarship, they are formulated with the uninitiated reader in mind.

Download or read book German History in Modern Times written by William W. Hagen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-13 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of German-speaking central Europe offers a very wide perspective, emphasizing a succession of many-layered communal identities. It highlights the interplay of individual, society, culture and political power, contrasting German with Western patterns. Rather than treating 'the Germans' as a collective whole whose national history amounts to a cumulative biography, the book presents the pre-modern era of the Holy Roman Empire; the nineteenth century; the 1914–45 era of war, dictatorship and genocide; and the Cold War and post-Cold War eras since 1945 as successive worlds of German life, thought and mentality. This book's 'Germany' is polycentric and multicultural, including the multinational Austrian Habsburg Empire and the German Jews. Its approach to National Socialism offers a conceptually new understanding of the Holocaust. The book's numerous illustrations reveal German self-presentations and styles of life, which often contrast with Western ideas of Germany.
