Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania-German in the Field of the Natural Sciences, Vol. 6 In the early part of his career he traveled over a large portion of the Scandinavian peninsula, gathering rich spoils, and, later, supported by royal patronage, sent forth not a few of his young disciples, to bring back from distant lands like treasures to the museum of the University. These it became his business to examine, describe, name, figure, classify and give permanent record in a long series of publications, which contain articles pertaining to chemistry, mineralogy and zoology, although botany holds the chief place. The impression produced by such achievements - an impression that has not yet spent its force, but continues to inspire and stimulate scientific research in new lines and channels all the world over - was then felt far and wide amongst his contemporaries in Europe. By reason of his presence at Upsala, the number of students in the University rapidly rose from 500 to 1500. And the attractive power reached beyond the Atlantic, for, in a list of a party of seven, who under his leadership made an expedition into the province of Dalecarlia, occurs the name of Sandel, "a Pennsylvanian." One of his disciples, Professor Kuhn, delivered courses of lectures on botany in Philadelphia, and the great master has perpetuated his memory in the genus Kuhnia.

Download or read book The Folklore of the Pennsylvania Germans written by John Baer Stoudt and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 1916-01-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1916 and based on a paper presented at the Pennsylvania German Society&’s annual meeting in 1910, The Folklore of the Pennsylvania Germans constitutes one of the first collections of Pennsylvania German stories, rhymes, and ballads (most in their native dialect). John Baer Stoudt&’s compilation includes numerous examples of Pennsylvania German folklore, gathered over fifteen years through numerous interviews with Pennsylvanians who had a similar collective memory of these oral and literary traditions. This volume focuses particularly on childhood lore, with chapters devoted to prayers, lullabies, riddles, counting-out rhymes, nursery rhymes, ballads, and many other traditions. Each section contains an English introduction or explanation about its subject, with examples documented in Pennsylvania German. The chapter &“Riddles and Catches&” also includes an English translation of each example. Stoudt provides background on the history and evolution of particular traditions, such as New Year&’s W&ünsching, and explains how historically adult traditions, such as Powwowing charms, made their way into childhood lore.

Download or read book Architecture and Landscape of the Pennsylvania Germans 1720 1920 written by Sally McMurry and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-03-08 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phrase "Pennsylvania German architecture" likely conjures images of either the "continental" three-room house with its huge hearth and five-plate stoves, or the huge Pennsylvania bank barn with its projecting overshoot. These and other trademarks of Pennsylvania German architecture have prompted great interest among a wide audience, from tourists and genealogists to architectural historians, antiquarians, and folklorists. Since the nineteenth century, scholars have engaged in field measurement and drawing, photographic documentation, and careful observation, resulting in a scholarly conversation about Pennsylvania German building traditions. What cultural patterns were being expressed in these buildings? How did shifting social, technological, and economic forces shape architectural changes? Since those early forays, our understanding has moved well beyond the three-room house and the forebay barn. In Architecture and Landscape of the Pennsylvania Germans, 1720-1920, eight essays by leading scholars and preservation professionals not only describe important architectural sites but also offer original interpretive insights that will help advance understanding of Pennsylvania German culture and history. Pennsylvania Germans' lives are traced through their houses, barns, outbuildings, commercial buildings, churches, and landscapes. The essays bring to bear years of field observation as well as engagement with current scholarly perspectives on issues such as the nature of "ethnicity," the social construction of landscape, and recent historiography about the Pennsylvania Germans. Dozens of original measured drawings, appearing here for the first time in print, document important works of Pennsylvania German architecture, including the iconic Bertolet barns in Berks County, the Martin Brandt farm complex in Cumberland County, a nineteenth-century Pennsylvania German housemill, and urban houses in Lancaster.
