Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Welsh in Iowa is the history of the little known Welsh immigrant communities in the American Midwestern state of Iowa. Dr. Walley’s book identifies what made the Welsh unique as immigrants to North America, and as migrants and settlers in a land built on such groups. With research rooted in documentary evidence and supplemented with community and oral histories, The Welsh in Iowa preserves and examines Welsh culture as it was expressed in middle America by the farmers and coal miners who settled or passed through the prairie state as it grew to maturity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This work seeks to not only document the Welsh immigrants who lived in Iowa, but to study the Welsh as a distinct ethnic group in a state known for its ethnic heritage.

Book excerpt: The Welsh in Iowa is, as the title indicates, a history of the Welsh in Iowa. This dissertation seeks to not only document the Welsh immigrants who lived in Iowa during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but to study the Welsh as a distinct ethnic group in a state known for its ethnic heritage. As told in this study, the story of the Welsh in Iowa begins in Wales, where the Welsh ethnic identity developed in response to English domination. The story continues with an account of factors in emigration from Wales and the three main waves of Welsh immigration to America. A short history of the Welsh in America follows the section on immigration. Then a brief history of the state of Iowa is given, including a survey of the state's major ethnic groups. The actual history of the Welsh in Iowa is divided into two sections, first the agricultural communities and then the coal mining communities. An additional chapter containing demographic analyses is also included. The conclusion is followed by two appendices giving brief accounts of each Welsh community in Iowa.

Download or read book Wales the Welsh and the Making of America written by Vivienne Sanders and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1971, Californian congressman Thomas M. Rees told the US House of Representatives that ‘very little has been written of what the Welsh have contributed in all walks of life in the shaping of American history’. This book is the first systematic attempt to both recount and evaluate the considerable yet undervalued contribution made by Welsh immigrants and their immediate descendants to the development of the United States. Their lives and achievements are set within a narrative outline of American history that emphasises the Welsh influence upon the colonists’ rejection of British rule, and upon the establishment, expansion and industrialisation of the new American nation. This book covers both the famous and the unsung who worked and fought to acquire greater prosperity and freedom for themselves and for their nation.
