Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Element in the War of American Independence The following pages make no pretension to original research. They are founded on the ad mirable monographs of Doctor Friedrich Kapp, for many years an honored member of the New York bar and now an active member of the Im perial Assembly of his native Germany. Dur ing his residence in the United States, Doctor Kapp made special studies in the history of the Germans in America, and especially of those whose names have passed into American history. The result was the lives of Steuben and Kalb, and the history of those unfortunate men whose blood was shed to gratify the avarice of their sovereign; one of the darkest chapters in the history of wicked rulers. From these sources I have drawn freely in preparing this new tribute to the history of my country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book German Americans in the American Revolution written by Henry Melchior Muhlenberg Richards and published by Heritage Books. This book was released on 1992 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered the definitive history of the involvement of German-Americans in the American Revolution, this work was originally published in 1908 and has long been out of print. It focuses on Pennsylvania and surrounding colonies, where the colonial German element was concentrated, and contains extensive biographical information of value to genealogists and historians. Although only about ten percent of the U.S. population were German-Americans, they overwhelmingly supported the Revolution. In 1776, Congress raised a German-American regiment which fought in many battles and spent the winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge with General George Washington, whose personal bodyguard was a German-American unit. It is said that the American troops were German trained, fed, and led, as Baron von Steuben served as inspector-general, Christopher Ludwig as superintendent of baking, and Heinrich Lutterloh as quartermaster-general. Of General Nicholas Herkimer, commander of several German-American battalions from New York, General Washington wrote, "It was Herkimer who first reversed the gloomy scene...he served from love of country, not for reward." This useful work also contains numerous lists of soldiers, a surname index and a subject index. Dr. Tolzmann has edited several German-American works offered by Heritage Books; here he fills the gap in the general knowledge pertaining to the role of German-Americans in the War of Independence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German-Americans and the European War: A Reply to Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard and Others We all know how this feeling was intensified at the out break of the war, and how everybody who refused to align him self on the side of the allies was assailed with a fury that at times appeared almost irrational. It has not abated, on the contrary it seeins to be stronger and fiercer than ever. The time has arrived when a comprehensive reply to the charges uttered should be made. If I'call my attempt to formulate such a reply an answer to Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard and others, I do this because Mr, Villard has in the form of a lecture before the Laurel Hill Association of Stockbridge collected all the accusa tions made against the naturalized citizens, especially the German Americans, and presented a formidable appearing indictment. Taking this document as the basis for my reply, I am given the opportunity to take the charges up point by point. In addition, Mr. Villard lays stress upon the fact that he was born upon German soil of a German father, and he uses these facts in con nection with the wellflknown friendship existing between his father and the late Carl Schurz to create the impression that he is especially fitted to speak on the attitude of the American citizen of German nativity or descent. I deny'this claim most emphatically, for while it is true that Mr. Villard's father was a German, and he himself was partly educated in Germany and speaks the German language, it is an undeniable fact that his viewpoint is distinctly English, that his knowledge of Germanhis-tory is deficient, and his insight into German conditions and the German spirit is badly warped by prejudice and passion. As to myself, I came to the United States nearly forty years ago, am a citizen since 1884 and have ever tried to be loyal and of service to this republic. I have frequently been at odds with other german-americans because I opposed actions which in my opinion might produce antagonism between the German element and the rest of the people. Perhaps the fact that many years of my life were devoted to an honest effort to bring about a. Better understanding between the American and the German people, gives me a certain right to make this reply, However, I speak for myself, have no mandate from any organization or any large number of my countrymen, and say what follows solely because I believe that somebody should publicly resent the insults showered upon us. If we cannot convince our enemies that they wrong us and are serving their country whose welfare they have constantly on the tips of their tongues.

This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Germans in the United States The history of the Germans in the United States is too comprehensive a subject for a brief sketch. Yet the bare' outlines of a portrait often impress the characteristic features more vividly than color and detail. The history of the Germans in this country goes back to the earliest colonial period. Recurrent waves in the eighteenth were followed by great tides of German immigration in the nineteenth century, and these carried into the population of the United States an element second in amount only to the contribution of the English stock.

Download or read book Hessians written by Friederike Baer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1776 and 1783, Britain hired an estimated 30,000 German soldiers to fight in its war against the Americans. Collectively known as Hessians, they actually came from six German territories within the Holy Roman Empire. Over the course of the war, members of the German corps, including women and children, spent extended periods of time in locations as dispersed and varied as Canada in the North to West Florida and Cuba in the South. They shared in every significant British military triumph and defeat. Thousands died of disease, were killed in battle, were captured by the enemy, or deserted. Collectively, they recorded their experiences and observations of the war they fought in, the land they traversed, and the people they encountered in a large body of letters, diaries, and similar private and official records. Friederike Baer presents a study of Britain's war against the American rebels from the perspective of the German soldiers, a people uniquely positioned both in the midst of the war and at its margins. The book offers a ground-breaking reimagining of this watershed event in world history.
