Book excerpt: This comprehensive encyclopedia—the first of its kind—maps out three hundred years of German history and culture in Pennsylvania and beyond. Winner of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title of the Choice ACRL Destined to become the standard reference on Pennsylvania Germans (also known as the “Pennsylvania Dutch”), this book is the first survey of this extensive American group in nearly seventy-five years. Nineteen broad interpretive essays written by a distinguished group of historians, anthropologists, sociologists, linguists, and folklorists tell the rich and nuanced story of Pennsylvania German history and culture. United by a distinct (and distinctly American) language, the Pennsylvania Germans have been slower to assimilate than other ethnic groups. This sweeping volume reveals, though, that the group is much less homogenous and isolated than was previously thought. From architecture, media, and farming techniques to food, folklore, and medicine, the Pennsylvania Germans and their descendants display a wide range of cultural variation. In Pennsylvania Germans, editors Simon J. Bronner and Joshua R. Brown broaden the geographical and social coverage of the group, touching both on Pennsylvanian communities and the Pennsylvania German diaspora, including settlements in Canada and Mexico. They also expand historical coverage of the Pennsylvania Germans to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Beautifully illustrated, this volume—while paying tribute to the historical and cultural legacy of the Pennsylvania Germans—is the most comprehensive book on the subject to date. Contributors: R.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work succeeds in consolidating the records of the vast majority of Pennsylvania-Germans who took part in the Revolutionary War and is probably as close as we are likely to get to a definitive history and roster. Quite apart from the invaluable rosters and service records, the book explores the history of the various units, their organization, personnel, and campaigns. Inevitably, the bulk of the work focuses on the Pennsylvania-Germans in the Continental Army, the Pennsylvania Line, the German Regiment, and the Flying Camp, though there is considerable data on the Pennsylvania-Germans in Maryland and Virginia regiments. Of almost equal importance are the chapters on the Emergency Men, patriots and non-combatants, each with biographical sketches of eminent men.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Pennsylvania Germans: Embracing an Account of Their Origin, Their History, and Their DialectIt is not known where the original home of the Indo - Europeans was. A vast amount of literature has been produced on this subject by ethnologists, and other investigators, with varying Views, only to leave the question of man's birthplace in dispute and doubt. The weight of the more recent, and best evidence on the subject seems to locate his original habitat, at some point, somewhere on the southern slope of the vast chain of mountains which extend in an almost unbroken line from the northern coast of Spain east ward to the Himalayas, and from our present knowl edge the western rather than the eastern extremity of this chain, is that which offers the higher probability of having been the cradle of the species.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
