This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mrs. Jacobson here focuses upon families who settled along the Tombigbee River, an area which today occupies all or part of the Alabama counties of Marion, Fayette, Lamar, Tuscaloosa, Greene, Pickens, and Sumter; and the Mississippi counties of Lee, Itawamba, Monroe, Webster, Clay, Choctaw, Oktibbeha, Lowndes, Winston, and Noxubee. She covers the founding of each of the seventeen counties comprising the Tombigbee River area, with references to the region's indigenous Creeks, Chocktaws, Chickasaws and Cherokees; the phases of French, Spanish and British settlement; and the consolidation of the region under U.S. control following the War of 1812. Doubtless of greatest interest to researchers will be the author's genealogical and biographical essays on twenty-two pioneer families of the region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming German tells the intriguing story of the largest and earliest mass movement of German-speaking immigrants to America. The so-called Palatine migration of 1709 began in the western part of the Holy Roman Empire, where perhaps as many as thirty thousand people left their homes, lured by rumors that Britain's Queen Anne would give them free passage overseas and land in America. They journeyed down the Rhine and eventually made their way to London, where they settled in refugee camps. The rumors of free passage and land proved false, but, in an attempt to clear the camps, the British government finally agreed to send about three thousand of the immigrants to New York in exchange for several years of labor. After their arrival, the Palatines refused to work as indentured servants and eventually settled in autonomous German communities near the Iroquois of central New York.Becoming German tracks the Palatines' travels from Germany to London to New York City and into the frontier areas of New York. Philip Otterness demonstrates that the Palatines cannot be viewed as a cohesive "German" group until after their arrival in America; indeed, they came from dozens of distinct principalities in the Holy Roman Empire. It was only in refusing to assimilate to British colonial culture—instead maintaining separate German-speaking communities and mixing on friendly terms with Native American neighbors—that the Palatines became German in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to provide an overall view of the role of the German immigrant in Pennsylvania over a period of two hundred and fifty years. It pursues to enhance a better understanding of German immigration to this vital, agricultural and industrial state. My thesis attempts to interpret the Pennsylvania-Germans in terms of their respective value to American, society and deals with various educational, sociological, political and economic questions confronting this selective group of immigrants. My thesis deals likewise with the argument of mass-immigration during the late nineteenth century and discusses the heterogeneous impact on the disruption, of a pre-existing Pennsylvania culture. To cast light on religious issues I have ventured to uncover the broad cultural trends of all denominations among Pennsylvania-German immigrants that affected American society as a whole, not merely those who happened to control political power. In regard to aspirations of achievement I have attempted to portray the German immigrants' adaptability to American customs as the key to success or failure. Moreover, I have placed emphasis on the polarities of conflict, unity and diversity that describe not only the American political system but also the cultural milieu upon which it is based. In this context I have also examined the political preeminence of the ruling elite which consisted mostly of male white Protestants. Suffice it to say that the Protestant aristocracy held all positions of power and prestige in Pennsylvania during the Colonial period. In the area of ethnic friction I have discussed the two major arguments raised by "upper class" nativists, primarily that the American economy could not absorb additional immigrants without depriving native workers of jobs, and secondly that hybridization would threaten the preservation of American purity. This critical issue obliged me also to discuss the subject of regional nativism in the interest of a better balanced view. Through the thematic arrangement of chapters I have presented the immigration and assimilation processes in chronological order, and I have exposed the principal aspects of the Pennsylvania-peasant culture in its true perspective. Supported by pertinent, primary evidence I felt justified in referring to the "Dutch" as a group of incorrigible, partly nationalistic minded Germans who conscientiously defied the progress of science, technology and Federal legislation. I have also displayed the notions and policies of the Federal government to control immigration for fear that the "admission of I and breeding with inferior stock would lead to racial suicide," During this broad and often detailed research I have been primarily guided by common sense, logical conclusions and obvious facts rather than by assumptions or interpretive biases of consulted authors. Moreover, my first hand studies and observations, and my familiarity with the Germans living in the farm belts of Pennsylvania provided excellent guidance. I foresee my conclusions may well be at variance with the findings of other researchers examining the broad aspects of the same topic. I am thoroughly convinced, though, that the role of the German immigrant within the structure of American society was always important, and should be viewed as a symbiotic relationship in which he competed with other groups for his livelihood and social improvement.

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.

Download or read book Hopeful Journeys written by Aaron Spencer Fogleman and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2014-12-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1700, some 250,000 white and black inhabitants populated the thirteen American colonies, with the vast majority of whites either born in England or descended from English immigrants. By 1776, the non-Native American population had increased tenfold, and non-English Europeans and Africans dominated new immigration. Of all the European immigrant groups, the Germans may have been the largest. Aaron Spencer Fogleman has written the first comprehensive history of this eighteenth-century German settlement of North America. Utilizing a vast body of published and archival sources, many of them never before made accessible outside of Germany, Fogleman emphasizes the importance of German immigration to colonial America, the European context of the Germans' emigration, and the importance of networks to their success in America

Kroger, Pub. 1876 and 1935, 826 pages with Index, soft cover, ISBN #978-1-63914-100-5. This book is considered one of the most useful tools for identifying persons who came to North America between 1727 and 1776. It contains 319 ships passenger list with more than 30,000 names. Its main emphasis is on the early Palatine immigration. The lists are arranged in chronological order according to date of arrival, listing the names of the ships on which the passengers arrived and the places from which they emigrated. In addition, the appendices list over a thousand early settlers who landed at some port other than Philadelphia, but who afterwards came to Pennsylvania from New York, North Carolina, and Georgia. Included are "Names of the First Palatines in North Carolina, 1709 and 1710," and "Names of Salzburgers Settled in Georgia, 1734-1741." To make this book even more useful, we have included Kroger's 232-page full name index of which the original is lacking. Without this index, this book is very difficult to use.
