Abstract: From the Einleitende Bemerkungen: Vergleichen wir den gegenwaertigen Stand der deutschen Sprache in unsern Kreisen mit dem vor einem Jahrzehtn, so finden wir, dasz sich in den meisten Gegenden ein bedeutender Umschwung vollzogen hat. Die englische Sprache hat die deutsche verdraengt. Das sieht man auch in unsern Schulen. Waehrend frueher die Anfaenger zum groszeen Teil die deutsche Sprache sprechen oder doch verstehen konnten, so ist jetzt das Gegenteil der Fall. Die Landessprache ist die Muttersprache der Kinger geworden, Es gibt allerdings noch Sprachinseln, in denen die alte ordnung herrscht, doch wird dieser Zustand an solchen Orten sich mit der Zeit aendern. Dasz bei solchen Verhaeltnissen der Deutschunterricht sich ganz anders gestalten musz als frueher und dasz er mit Schwierigkeiten verknuepft ist, liegt auf der Hand. . . . Die alten Mehtoden des Unterrichts muessen selbstverstaendlich durch neue, den Verhaeltnissen angemessene ersetzt werden.

Edwards, Lois Hemmeter. “A Famous Physician’s Biography.” Germanic Genealogy Journal, vol. 9, no. 2, Summer 2006, pp. 19-20, ill.
Abstract: Recounts the author’s search for the name of an ancestral village for the Hemmeter family of Cleveland, Ohio. She discovered a brief biography of Dr. John C. Hemmeter of Balitmore, a renowned 19th-century physician connected with Johns Hopkins. Hemmeter’s father had come from Baiersdorf, Bavaria, at the same time as the author’s family came to Cleveland. In the regional state archives in Nuremberg, the author discovered that her family actually came not from Baiersdorf, but from the hamlet of Weiler bei Rohr. But the clue had narrowed the possibilities and identified a region to research. “Fortunately, an emigration index existed from that region.” Later, upon writing to the pastor in the village of Rohr and receiving a birth record, she learned that the family had moved to Rohr from the town of Thalmaessing, south of Nuremberg, where she was able to make more discoveries.

Efford, Alison Clark. “German Immigrants and the Arc of American Citizenship during Reconstruction, 1865-1877.” Bulletin of the German Historical Institute, no. 46, Spring 2010, pp. 61-76, ill.
Abstract: Examines how German immigrants helped influence American citizenship after the Civil War and Emancipation, especially concerning the key issue of whether African-Americans would be granted the vote. Efford points out that German immigrants, particularly those who were refugees from the Revolutions of 1848 in Europe, were engaged in Reconstruction politics through the Republican Party and later — after the unification of the German state — the Liberal Republican Party. Highly conscious of their own new status as American citizens, German Americans infused with the ideals of liberal nationalism supported the claims of citizenship for black men in North America. The issue of political equality for women, however, was not upheld by German immigrant males.

Infolge der unguenstigen Lage entschloss sich der Kleinbauer Lichtenwanger aus Thening in der naehe von Linz an der Donau zur Auswanderung.

Von hier aus fuhr er auf einem Ochsenwagen noch zehn Meilen ostwaerts und liess sich mit seiner Familie mitten im Urwald nieder. Aeusserst schwere Arbeit harrte seiner, denn der suedlich Teil des Staates Illinois ist bis zur Stadt Carbondale, etwa 50 Meilen noerdlich von Cairo. . .sehr bergig und war mit schwerem Urwald, besonders Eichen- und Ahornbaeumen bewachsen. Aber der Besitz eines grossen Stueck Landes, wohl zwanzigmal groesser als sein Kleinbauerngut, befriedigte ihn, und seine Briefe in die Heimat atmeten Zufriedenheit.

Abstract: Texas is a cultural melting pot; however, through prolonged mixing, most ethnic groups have lost their sense of uniqueness and ethnic identity. The German-Texan heritage has been neglected most recently because of the hatred and shame brought about by the propaganda during the two world wars. In those times many Germans sought to conceal their background. The teaching of the German language stopped. Fortunately there are still many signs of German influence in San Antonio. This paper is an examination of the rise and the fall of the German-English School in San Antonio and the influence it had on the total community MKI P85-85 German Americans — Texas/ Schools/ Ethnic identity

Notes: Special Issue: Lower Class Language Use in the 19th Century. Includes bibliographical notes and references.
Abstract: “The mass literacy drives of the 19th century have proved to be a landmark in German language history, as for the first time the majority of the people in the German-speaking countries were able to participate in the culture of writing. The full impact of the spread of writing among the lower social classes on language variation and change has, however, not yet been recognised in language historiography. With examples from grammar and spelling in private emigrant letters, the present article strongly argues for an alternative approach to language historiography, using such texts as a starting-point for a ‘language history from below.’ The analysis of ‘everyday language’ in the private letters of ordinary people can not only provide us with an insight into the language use of the vast majority of the population, but also carries valuable information on linguistic developments which have gone unnoticed in language historiography and in the research on present-day German grammar. They have demonstrated that ordinary people’s writing remained relatively unaffected by official standards that were set up in school grammars and by the language norm debates of the 19th century. The emigrants’ writings rather show clear traces of norms of usage, which partly date back to the 18th century or even older writing conventions and which can partly be linked to language use in spoken vernaculars that have gradually emerged as new variants of present-day German.”

Engbrecht, Dennis D. “The Americanization of a Rural Immigrant Church: The General Conference Mennonites in Central Kansas, 1874-1939. Dissertation.” University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 1985. 230 pp.
Notes: UMI, printed in 1988.
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the Americanization of an immigrant church in rural North America. The study focuses on General Conference Mennonites who came from Russia and east Europe to settle in central Kansas in 1874. In Russia they had established an autonomous peoplehood characterized by nonconformity maintained through spatial isolation and the exclusive use of the German language. For nearly a century they escaped the full impact of Russification. Their immigration in 1874 represented an effort to retain an ethnoreligious distinctiveness. In America they sought community autonomy; instead they were offered individual self-sufficiency. This individualistic freedom eventually eroded Mennonite community autonomy. In the absence of the Old World village social structure, the immigrant church in Kansas served as a center for identity formation. As the pressures of Americanization mounted, immigrants increasingly turned to the local congregation for support. In this way the church facilitated the Americanization process, emphasizing various aspects of the Mennonite ethos while forsaking other traditions that did not fit into the American Protestant experience. The Americanization of the Mennonite church in central Kansas is evidenced by a language shift, the impact of public schools and higher education, the infiltration of American Protestantism, the modification of certain church customs, and the alteration of Mennonite fine arts. In some respects their experience conforms to the model of assimilation formed by sociologist Milton Gordon. However, Mennonites in central Kansas following World War I deviated from Gordon’s model: as Mennonite churches took on characteristics of American Protestantism, there emerged a revitalized progressive Mennonitism. By 1939 Mennonite congregations in central Kansas displayed an identity that was less ethnocentric and more religiocentric; less immigrant and more denominational. After six decades they were both Mennonites and Americans, “a people of two kingdoms.”

Abstract: The author explains why the German-American community so fervently celebrated the military leader Franz Sigel, suggesting that despite his lack of success in battle, he raised ethnic consciousness and strengthened ethnic identity. Germans, caught in an identity crisis, found in the Civil War elements of service, combat, and political life that aided in the construction of a German American identity. The author proposes that the Civil War was a major catalyst in uniting assimilation and ethnic identity for German Americans.

Abstract: “Of all aspects of the overall aim, i.e. the description of the sign-based behavior of the members of one specific Old Order Amish (OOA) isolate, the present paper focuses on the functional distribution of the varieties (American English, Pennsylvania German, and Amish High German) of the verbal repertoire. The social unit under investigation was defined as the total of those persons in Kent County, Delaware, U.S.A., who in January 1978 lived in households with OOA household heads. This threefold criterion of time, region, and religious affiliation isolated a total of 1314 persons living in 164 households distributed over a rural area of about eight miles by eleven miles between Dover and the Maryland stateline. . . . Despite the sweeping criticism levelled at role theory from a Marxist angle, we hazard to assume that in the isolate under investigation role concepts provide the basis for a set of heuristic tools, by means of which the way in which the members of the isolate perceive their social world and organize their instrumental and sign-based interaction can be reconstructed. . . . In that grooming and garment-mediated roles are signaled before the opening of discourse, these nonverbal performatives . . . function as ‘stage markers’ signaling the rules concerning the choice of variety, the rules of address and personal referencing, discursive privileges and the use of ‘discourse lubricants’ that apply for the ensuing discourse.”

Etges, Andreas. “Discovering and Promoting Economic Nationalism: Friedrich List in the United States.” Yearbook of German-American Studies, vol. 32, 1997, pp. 63-71.
Abstract: Friedrich List lived in the United States from 1825 to 1835, a time of much heated debate between free traders and protectionists inside and outside Congress on the “American system,” a set of bills combining tariff protection, encouragement of manufactures, a national bank, and the promotion of internal improvements. List’s talents were discovered by the protectionists and he became a major participant in the debate. Upon his return to Germany, List developed his famous and controversial national system of political economy that had a lasting and widespread influence. His work shaped developmental theory internationally and his Nationales System became a classic in the field of economic nationalism. The first part of the article introduces the concept of economic nationalism and gives a theoretical background. The second part discusses List’s formative writings and activities during his United States stay.

———. “Equality and Education: Mathilde Franziska Anneke’s Toechter-Institut in Milwaukee and Her Fight for Women’s Rights. MS thesis.” . 55 pp.
Abstract: The few existing studies on Anneke have mainly focussed on her suffrage activities, on her literary work, and on her involvement in the German Revolution of 1848. Her role as an educator of women has been rather neglected, even though she headed a girls’ school in Milwaukee for the last 18 years of her life. The “Toechter-Institut” remained a unique experiment. In Anneke’s view for women to become equal on an individual level they needed an equal education. But only if they were politically equal as well, would they attain equal opportunities. Anneke’s fight for women’s rights and her school in Milwaukee cannot be analyzed independent of each other. In this thesis Andreas Etges first gives a biographical sketch of Anneke’s activities up to 1865, the year the school opened. After a general outline of the school situation in Milwaukee, the “Toechter-Institut” is described in detail with special emphasis on the social profile of the students. Next Anneke’s theory of education is compared to that of Catherine Beecher, as well as other German-American educators and the program of the “Hamburger Hochschule fuer das Weibliche Geschlecht” (Women’s College), a reform school at the time of the German revolution

Abstract: The first immigration of Germans to Wisconsin in large numbers was that of the so-called Old Lutherans of Pomerania and Brandenburg, who came between 1839 and 1845, as a result of the attempt by King Frederick William IV, of Prussia, to unite the Lutheran and Reformed faiths. The author’s purpose is to sketch the history of that movement with the emigration that followed and the forming of several German settlements in this state

Notes: Printed from on-line PDF, http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/canadian_historical_review/v087/87.4fair.pdf.
Abstract: Analyzes the immigrant narrative of the Pennsylvania Germans who settled Upper Canada between the 1780s and the 1830s, using Orm Øverland’s framework of a ‘homemaking myth.’ The Pennsylvania-German myth first appeared in the 1890s and claimed a share of the United Empire Loyalists’ foundational myth, drawing upon its themes of loyalty and sacrifice. Later authors modified and amplified these themes to distance the Pennsylvania Germans from the Germans whom Canadians were fighting in the First World War. Soon after the conflict, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada recognized the Pennsylvania-German migration to Upper Canada as an event of national significance, highlighting the success of the homemaking myth’s message. Throughout the rest of the twentieth century, authors continued to promote the theme of loyalty, but with the dawn of official multiculturalism in Canada the Pennsylvania Germans regained their Germanness, becoming founders of the German-Canadian community. The article suggests that the historical analysis of other immigrant groups in Canada may benefit from the interpretive framework provided by the homemaking myth, and argues that the Pennsylvania-German narrative highlights a need to rethink how local and amateur histories contribute to a shared sense of Canadian identity.

Faires, Nora. “Ethnicity in Evolution: The German Community in Pittsburgh and Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, 1845-1885. Dissertation.” Pittsburgh, PA, 1981. 631 pp.
Notes: UMI, printed in 1988.
Abstract: Employing a dynamic concept of ethnicity to analyze the evolution of the German community in the rapidly industrializing, contiguous cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny, Pennsylvania in the second half of the nineteenth century, the dissertation examines the relationship between the formation and transformation of an ethnic group and the process of economic development. The historical and social scientific literature portray the Germans as the most easily assimilated, yet institutionally most separate ethnic group in the nineteenth-century America. This study resolves this paradox by relating internal variation in the German community to the changing social structure of the larger society. The main sources used are the computerized manuscript population schedules of the federal census for 1850 and 1870, city directories, parish histories, and approximately 5000 parish records. Chapter 1 demonstrates the inadequacy of current analyses to explain ethnic group change and outlines a view of ethnicity that stresses analysis of the diversity of immigrant groups, the variation within ethnic groups, the transformation of immigrant cultures, and the interactions between ethnic groups and the larger society. Chapter 2 places the case study in the context of the economic restructuring of Germany and the United States in the nineteenth century. Separate sections describe the massive emigration of Germans to America, compare Pittsburgh and Allegheny to other locations of German settlement, and detail the economic transformation of both cities. Given this analytical and empirical background, Chapters 3 and 4 assess the two facets of the paradox separately. The third chapter analyzes the degree of similarity between Germans and native-born whites in their patterns of residence, wealth, and occupation in cities, in order to measure the extent of the Germans’ assimilation into the social structure. The fourth chapter focuses on institutional separateness in the immigrant community; specifically, it examines the development of eight German churches in Pittsburgh and Allegheny. The Conclusion brings together the analyses of the two facets of the paradox. German religious organizations were not merely preserves of old world traditions nor simply agencies of assimilation. Their evolution reflected the immigrant group’s experience in Pittsburgh and Allegheny. Institutional separateness, then, cannot in this instance be taken as evidence of cultural persistence or cultural decline. Rather, the flourishing of these religious institutions indicates the transformation of immigrant group culture; the creation of a new ethnic structure in the German community. This transformation in turn brought some segments of the immigrant community into closer contact and greater harmony with mainstream American society and pushed other segments further away, broadening the diversity of the group. Similarly, the social structural analysis reveals that as of 1870 Germans had not experienced uniform upward mobility. They comprised no simple second-layers between an impoverished Irish laboring-class and a prospering native-born middle-class. Instead, immigrants and native-borns inhabited a complex and changing social structure in Pittsburgh and Allegheny. Moreover, the developing economy altered the German immigrant community. The cities’ Germans experienced industrialization differently, thriving, faltering and failing, depending on their occupation. Nonetheless, Germans as a group shared social structural characteristics which distinguished them from both the Irish and the native-born. The evolution of the German community in Pittsburgh and Allegheny reveals the intricate, contradictory, and shifting bonds of culture and society within an immigrant group and demonstrates the importance of links forged between members of the ethnic group and sectors of the larger society. Moreover, the study indicates the fundamental reorganization of social life brought about by economic transformation. In sum, the case study shows the complexity of ethnicity in American society.

Abstract: “[T]here is something distinctive about the emigration from Switzerland and that greater area of eighteenth-century emigration, the Palatinate and the upper Rhine country, the story of which has not been told. This is a record of hardship and obstruction at home, of barriers placed in the way of the emigrant by governments, of social ostracism, and of deprivation of all his rights and privileges. The home governments feared the loss of their people by emigration as much as they might by war or pestilence, and employed all means in their power to prevent it. For a study of this subject the materials found in the Swiss archives seem to be richer than those that have survived in the archives of the Palatinate and southern Germany, where in the eighteenth century the same policy prevailed of restricting, and if possible prohibiting, emigration. Conditions in Switzerland, therefore, may be assumed to illustrate also the situation for the German emigrant of the eighteenth century.”

Abstract: An essay forwarding the use of the German language in the United States. “To foster his language and song, to cling to his national customs and traditions with every tendril of his soul, is the most sacred duty developing upon the German-American.” … “Let us hope that this nation may soon proclaim a second declaration of independence, that it may bid a friendly but final farewell to British insularity.”

Notes: Paper originally presented at a conference at Texas A&M University, Apr. 1997.
Abstract: “Few Americans realize that the first large-scale bilingual school system in the United States began over 150 years ago. Or that it was the German language, not Spanish, that received such special treatment in America’s public schools. . . . With a few modifications the same questions over political and educational factors are posed in the modern debate over bilingual education. . . . Tying these two eras of bilingual education together in a comparative historical perspective, this paper examines the twin factors of ethnic politics and pedagogical concerns as a factor in developing bilingual education programs in American public schools.”

Notes: UMI, printed in 1988. Book, in MadCat.
Abstract: Ethnicity is a dimension of American life that has been understudied. While there has been a recent resurgence of interest in the study of ethnicity that study has concentrated mainly on ethnicity among the first, second, and to some extent, the third generations. Studies of ethnicity as it exists beyond the third generation are notably absent. This study is an investigation of the nature and content of ethnicity (an identity based on an allegiance to some set of shared ideas, external objects and patterns of behavior) as it exists in the third and fourth generations. The data in this study were obtained mainly through interviews conducted with sixty-five third and fourth generation German-Americans. The respondents were selected randomly from a community of German-Americans. We discuss the history of ethnicity and its expression among German-Americans in general and we make comparisons between the third- and fourth-generation respondents. We address two main questions in the study. One question deals with the disappearance or retention of ethnic identity across generations. The other question deals with the ways in which this ethnic identity is expressed. Ethnic identity persists in the third and fourth generations and it does not decline between these generations. We based this conclusion on the respondents’ scores on a group cohesiveness scale and on the answers they gave to questions about their self-identity and their nationality background. Ethnicity persists in spite of some marriage across ethnic lines, a lack of subscriptions to ethnic publications and an absence of ethnic organizations. While the group has not lost its identity as an ethnic group it has modified, although not changed completely, its expression of ethnicity. Use and maintenance of the German language has declined especially among younger people, yet pride in that language remains. Knowledge of Germany is becoming increasingly general through generations, yet people from both generations have an interest in visiting Germany. Other expressions of ethnicity show no significant change across generations. Observance of certain holidays and preferences for and use of German foods do not change across generations. Respondents remain interested in obtaining and restoring German artifacts and antiques. The expression of ethnicity is turning toward ethnic celebrations, appreciation for German music and doing family histories. At the same time characteristics that German-Americans think describe people of German background, such as hard working and saving, are being extended in new directions and are being applied in the everyday lives of respondents. Changes in the expression of ethnicity have occurred in response to situations which are changing. What is viewed by some as a decline in ethnic identity in later generations is more accurately viewed as a change in the expressions of that identity.

Abstract: Charles Ferdinand Lincke was born in 1858 in the village of Luckenmuhle, in the Thuringian region of German-speaking Europe, where he learned to play the violin. At 15, he emigrated to America, arriving at the port of Galveston in 1873; the rest of his family arrived in 1877. As a musician playing at dances in Austin County, Texas, Charles met his future wife, Dorothea Louise Emma Ludtke around 1885 or 1886; by 1891 they had moved to the Gruenau community in DeWitt County, Texas. In 1910, Charles and Emma purchased five acres of land in Westhoff, and soon after built a home and dance hall. “Some of the bands that performed included the Lincke String Band, Nordheim Band, Cuero Band, Westhoff jazz Band, Yorktown Dance Orchestra, and the Alfred Buske Orchestra.”

In 1848, having sailed on the Canapus, Oberwetter and his wife arrived in New Orleans. They made their home in Comfort, Kendall County, Texas. Oberwetter pursued a scientific interest in botany, both in Texas and–during the Civil War–in Mexico. After the war he lived in Austin, where he worked as a printer and as a landscaper on the Texas Capitol grounds and at the Texas School for the Deaf. “By 1883 he was recognized as an important botanist of the area and from about 1889 to 1896 he had a ‘florist shop with an appropriate greenhouse for all of his exotic plants and bulbs.” He is known especially for his pioneering work with amaryllis.

Abstract: Commencing with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the State Department aided a dozen Latin American republics in deporting nearly 4,000 of their German nationals to the United States. There, the Justice Department interned them until most could be repatriated to the Fatherland. But at war’s end, and as late as 1947, hundreds of unrepatriated deportees remained. Eventually they, their families and descendants, became an integral part of the German American community. This article explores why they found themselves in this position.

Notes: UMI, printed in 1988 ; book, in MadCat.
Abstract: PREFACE (Abbreviated) At the present time, interest in religion has reached a new high in the United States. Church membership has hit its highest peak in the history of the nation, and reports of increased church attendance are current in all parts of the country. Consequently, there are those who believe that we are on the verge of a great religious revival. For the most part, this view is based on evidence of increased vigor within the congregations and denominations. However, another phase of this increased interest in religion is the reappearence of the mass revival. Under the leadership of the noted evangelist, Billy Graham, mass revivalism has again come to play a significant role in American religious life. However, this is not a new phenomenon in the history of the Hebraic-Christian tradition, nor is it new to American church history. Revivalism, with its individualistic, subjective approach to religion has been a divisive factor in American Protestantism since the Great Awakening of the eighteenth century. During this and subsequent awakenings which occurred throughout the following century, new denominations were formed, and some of the older denominations divided into New Light – Old Light, or New School – Old School factions. In the history of the German Reformed Church in America, a study of the influence and effects of revivalism can be isolated to a degree not possible in other, larger denominations. For example, in the Congregational Church the issue was complicated by the theological controversies concerning rationalism, Unitarianism, and the New Haven theology. In the Presbyterian Church the issue was clouded by racial and sectional conflicts between the Scotch-Irish and English and between the northern and southern Presbyterians. Strange though it may seem today, even the Episcopal Church was affected by revivalism, but the issue was involved in the more complex controversy between the so-called “high-church” and “low-church” factions – a controversy which has agitated Anglicanism since the sixteenth century. It will be the purpose of this dissertation to examine revivalism in its course into and out of the German Reformed church. The reader should be prepared for a discussion of the attempts to revive the spiritual life of the German Reformed in this land. Among those involved in these attempts were the Moravians, the Pietistic German Reformed ministers who were called “the New Reformed,” the “Otterbein people,” the “Albright people,” and the followers of John Winebrenner. At first glance, the examination of these “fringe movements” may seem irrelevant. However, it will be shown that leaders of each of these movements were members of the German Reformed Church, were influenced by it, and drew out of its membership adherents for their own religious groups. In addition, the numerical success and the apparent piety of these revivalistic groups was an influential factor in the eventual adoption of many of their techniques by the German Reformed Church itself. In this dissertation then, it is the purpose of the author to present a complete record of revivalism in the German Reformed Church in the East to about the year 1850, and show how in the end the denomination held on to its traditional concept of the Church as the Body of Christ rather than a mere fellowship, the organic continuation of the divine-human life of Christ in time for the salvation of men, rather than the mere body of the faithful as it was to the pietists and extreme members of the revivalistic forces. Actually it is a portrayal of the mourners or anxious “bench versus the Catechism,” with “the book” scoring over “the bench!” In 1854, eleven years after his arrival in America, the eminent church historian, Dr. Philip Schaff, returned to his native Germany for a visit. At one point he addressed the German Church Diet, giving his impressions of the political, social, and religious characteristics of America, and of the denominations as he saw them. In describing the German Reformed Church, which he knew so well, because he was a teacher in its theological seminary, Schaff said, “One might make a book on the anxious-bench controversy in the German Reformed Church of America for the Reformed Church was also deeply agitated.” This is the book! It is a record of how and why the German Reformed Church was “deeply agitated.”

Abstract: Lieber has become a relatively forgotten man. Like many another of those dimly seen in the background of the stage of history, he participated in some memorable scenes. He was in the Waterloo campain, involved with Jahn, and the Turners, etc. By the time he died, his limited, but significant, contributions were no longer in bringing European ideas to America but in sending American ideas to Europe. As a conveyor and synthesizer, even if not as an originator, Lieber was great.

Freitag, Alfred John. “A History of Concordia Teachers College: 1864-1964. Dissertation.” University of Southern California, 1965. 548 pp.
Notes: UMI, printed in 1988.
Abstract: Preface: This history was written to commemorate the first century of Concordia Teachers College in the service of Christian education in the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. It is the first documented history of Concordia Teachers College. The research was done in connection with a dissertation presented to the faculty of the School of Education of the University of Southern California in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the Doctor’s degree in Education. Writing a survey history covering 100 years presents numerous problems of inclusion and exclusion. No doubt some readers will find areas to which more time and space could have been given. There were individuals whose contributions to the college were significant, but for whom little space, if any, could be devoted due to the limitations of time and space. It was not possible to give adequate attention to the development of non-teaching services and personnel who also have made many contributions to Concordia’s growth. The author is well aware of the fact that he has not exhausted all the sources. Possibly in the future certain phases of Concordia’s history can be expanded in other studies. In a century, Concordia Teachers College has grown in the service of one cause–training teachers for the church–from very humble beginnings to a school that today graduates more elementary teachers than any other institution of higher learning in Illinois.

Abstract: “Following the life of Friedrich Hecker, this essay concentrates on his transformation from a German Republikaner into an American republican. In doing so it demonstrates that in fact there were far more and even deeper similarities between the ideas of German radicalism in 1848 and the ideology of the early Republican party in the 1850s. In order to emphasize these similarities and continuities the discussion is divided into two parts; part one presents some influences on Hecker’s political development in Germany; part two pursues his initial steps in American politics during the Republican Party’s first presidential campaign in 1856.”

Notes: Conference at the German Historical Institute held September 26-28, 2002.
Abstract: Report on a conference held at the German Historical Institute, September 26-28, 2002. “After 1945, Germans and Americans, both Jewish and gentile, encountered each other and had to deal with the past of the Second World War and the Holocaust in a variety of sites and situations in Germany and the United States. Most often, the encounters were located in and shaped by the transatlantic experiences of emigration, exile, occupation, return, exchange, and immigration. Gender and generation shaped these encounters as much as time and place… Sixteen scholars from Germany, the United States, and Canada focused on such personal encounters in public and private and at different levels of society, and on the effects of these encounters on individuals and societies at large. The majority of papers examined encounters between Germans, Jews, and Americans in postwar West Germany and focused their attention on contemporary debates about Germans’ ability to overcome Nazism. Other papers looked at more recent times or settings in the United States, exploring everyday encounters and constructions of memory, traditions, and sites of encounter.”

Abstract: “The following material was translated from a report published in 1847 regarding the emigration and founding of New Glarus two years earlier. Joshua Frey was Pennsylvania-born and of Swiss ancestry. Frey, known to Wilhelm H. Blumer of Allentown, was chosen to accompany Niklaus Duerst and Fridolin Streiff on their trip to select and purchase land for the Glarus Emigration Society. . . . The diary spans the period of May 9 (the departure from Pennsylvania) to Aug. 6, 1845 (Frey’s return). In the early weeks, the journey by way of the Great Lakes is well documented. . . He continues to faithfully pen his entries throughout the Illinois, Missouri and Iowa portions of the trip. . . . Then as the group enters the Wisconsin Territory, his notations only include key events on key dates with little information in between, raising the possibility that they were written after the fact.”

Abstract: The Low Germans of Cole Camp and Concordia, Missouri, built two of the earliest significant German settlements in the western half of that state. For many decades, these communities protected their inhabitants “from the full force of assimilative pressure.” They were composed chiefly of peasants from the north German Kingdom of Hannover. Both the Cole Camp Settlement at the juncture of Benton, Pettis, and Morgan counties and the Concordia Settlement in the southeastern corner of Lafayette County began as purely agricultural settlements far from any town. Each became a stronghold of the Lutheran Church. In both settlements, for everyday conversation Low German or Plattdeutsch was spoken.

The commentary discusses Hessian soldiers in the American Revolutionary War; provides evidence for identifying the pamphlet’s author; and examines the structure, language, and style of the writing.

As Sylvia’s mother, Aurelia, told the story, Otto arrived in New York at the age of sixteen, lived there with an uncle for a year, then went on to his grandparents’ home in Watertown and entered Northwestern College.”

Gawenda, Peter-Bodo. “The Use of the German Language in the Schools of San Antonio, Texas, from 1880 to 1910. Dissertation.” University of Houston, 1986. 659 pp.
Notes: UMI, printed in 1988. Book, in MadCat.
Abstract: The purpose of this historical study is to determine factors that either caused or contributed to the disappearance of the German language from curricula of American public school systems and higher education in areas with concentrations of German immigrants and their descendants. The selected time period is 1880 to 1910, when after-effects of the Civil War had subsided and the German Empire was established. The geographical area selected is San Antonio, Texas, the largest Texan city at that time. America was the primary destination for emigrants from German-language regions during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It is estimated that descendants of these population groups are almost as high as those of immigrants from the British Isles. While English became the American language, German only survived in different variances in small geographical pockets as a local means of communication. Focusing on San Antonio, the author evaluates (a) roles and functions of the contemporary society, (b) development and change of curriculum, (c) the role of German-language minorities in education, and (d) political, economic and social developments during the period in question. The study identifies several causes for the disappearance of the German language: 1. The background of German-language immigrants was diverse and multi-national. Thus German or German dialects did not serve as unifiers which could overcome former loyalties or animosities. 2. The European education of immigrants stressed the “fact” that English was the language of America and Texas. 3. European immigrant handbooks advocated acceptance of English as a prerequisite for success. 4. San Antonio’s and Texas’ education system was not fully organized until 1900. Before 1880 less than thirty percent, and from 1880 to 1910 between thirty and sixty percent of the scholastic population attended school. During sixty consecutive years an average of seventy percent of San Antonio’s population received no formal education. 5. Language education and language maintenance programs were not established for immigrants and their Texas-born descendants. 6. German-language minorities were not involved in organized or spontaneous attempts of significant scale to develop a public school curriculum that would have aided the preservation of German. 7. Effective systems of bilingual education were only developed in select private schools (German-English) and were not considered financially justifiable for public school systems. 8. Limited language education in the city’s grammar schools and the high school, the absence of teacher training and methodologies, and especially the character of supporting materials created the impression of “foreign” languages designed for use outside of the United States. An evaluation of German language books and of the development of German script supports this conclusion. 9. Associations or “Vereine” with primarily German-surnamed memberships served as preservers of German and of what was perceived as German culture. They were not active agents in curriculum development. 10. The German-surnamed population had developed a class system which eventually merged with San Antonio’s class system. German did not become a class-bridging agent, but instead developed into a class identifier: recent immigrants (mono-lingual) could be distinguished from educated members of high society. 11. The city’s landlocked geographical location and expansion of commerce and industry created needs for applied science education, making teaching of second languages a luxury. 12. Due to the alderman system of city government, the administrative structure of public education was an integral part of city politics; education was tied to economic and political interests. 13. Public linkage of culture (ethnicity) to language and the denial of multi-ethnicity or multi-lingualism within the American nation provided a final impetus to an anti-foreign language attitude or foreign-language syndrome (still existing today).

Abstract: In this 1995 lecture from the German Historical Institute in Washington D.C., the author traces the influence of German medievalists on American scholarship. He also analyzes how the perception and interpretation of German medieval history by American historians were shaped by their attempt to explain American history. The corresponding comment by Oexle speaks to whether or not American medievalists can learn anything from German medieval scholarship.

Abstract: Focusing on the American Midwest, “this article considers the conversation between ethnic groups, regarding their patterns of labor and life and the meaning they drew from it. I argue that the conversation reveals much about underlying conceptualizations of the family, its function, and its structure. It illustrates how American-born individuals used the trope of the European family to depict what [Michel] Chevalier called the ‘advance’ of individuality and distributions of power in a society that was part of a ‘series of that succession of progressive movements which have characterized our civilization.’ By utilizing the variations in labor roles, proponents of this ideology could deprecate ‘lesser’ ethnic groups that lagged behind in the march of civilization. In contrast, Europeans used the labor patterns of Americans to warn against the dangers of life in the United States, to show the need for remaining true to invented patterns of labor among countrypeople, and ultimately to defend their group against diffusion from the outside.”

Notes: UMI, printed in 1988. Book, in MadCat.
Abstract: The great international migrations of the mid-nineteenth century fundamentally altered the composition of urban America. Between 1840 and 1860 over 4,500,000 immigrants poured into America, most coming from Ireland and Germany. Some settled in the nation’s rural heartland, while many others converged on a band of cities that stretched from Boston, New York and Philadelphia in the East to Milwaukee, Chicago and St. Louis in the Midwest. This influx of new groups radically changed the social structure of many American cities. So pervasive was that transformation that social characteristics and patterns of social interaction which formerly were related to wealth and occupation rapidly came to reflect differences of nationality and religion as well. By the middle of the nineteenth century ethnicity had come to mean for the North something of what race had meant for the South. We know much more about how Southern society was defined by race, however, than of the ways in which ethnicity informed the social structure of the North. Perhaps the glare of racial differences has prevented us from seeing, much less exploring, the spectrum of national differences which derive from ethnicity. Regardless of what caused the neglect, it is clear that the adjustment of ethnic groups to urban America–native-born whites as an ethnic group–has not received sufficient attention. In particular we lack adequate studies which examine group adjustment in a context sensitive to the effect of milieu–the community. Of the half dozen or so major community studies available on the mid-nineteenth century, few can be said to break new ground. Their themes are usually the same: the sudden descent of impoverished immigrants on a city; their pathetic and often futile attempts to secure decent housing and jobs; the crime, disease and prejudice which dogged their steps; the importance of churches and voluntary associations in easing their adjustment and soothing the hurt; the first halting steps toward adjustment and acculturation, which might include the establishment of a toe-hold in local industry and a modicum of social accommodation with the dominant society after a period of labor conflict and nativist outbursts; and finally the more widespread and successful adjustment of their children and their entry into the larger society. The themes of such books vary somewhat depending on the period, city and ethnic group in question, but generally they have a remarkable consistency. Some might wish they had stressed more the disruptive and alienating aspects of the immigrant experience, others the resiliency and adaptiveness of group life; some might prefer more emphasis on acculturation and assimilation, others on the persistence of ethnic institutions and cultures. Still these are questions of emphasis; the basic framework within which they are couched remains largely intact. This suggests that while studies of additional cities and groups might flesh out and amplify our knowledge of the adjustment process, further community studies alone will not substantially modify or deepen our understanding unless they ask new questions of their subjects and search for new areas to explore. One way to open up new perspectives on the ethnic experience–and which will constitute the basic approach of the present study–is to compare in a systematic fashion the adjustment process of foreign-born and native-born ethnic groups in the same community. In this way one can separate what was similar from what was distinctive about their experience, and learn how their adjustment was related to structural differences and variation both within and between groups, and how that differentiation affected intergroup patterns of conflict and accommodation. Specifically, there are three related areas which the present study will take as its central focus: 1. First, it will explore how much demographic variation existed “within” groups and how that variation affected other aspects of ethnic social structure, in particular occupation, property and family structures. We know, for example that each ethnic group had a more or less articulated class structure of its own; the difference between “lace curtain” and “shanty Irish” had at least enough basis in fact to become part of the popular mythology. Also, we know that to some extent class differences were simply functions of demographic factors: the poor were composed not just of the unskilled, uneducated and unfavored of society, but also of the young and the recently migrated. It will not do, however, merely to associate the two characteristics, to say that a group was the poorest and the most recently arrived, unless one can also show a causal relationship and demonstrate the degree to which the group’s poverty was associated with the recentness of its arrival. We need to know, that is, how an individual’s location in one structure affected his placement in other structures. Perhaps middle-aged immigrants who had been present for some years were not better off in terms of housing, occupation or income than their younger, more newly arrived counterparts; either way, however, the relationship needs to be established. Similar questions will be put to other aspects of internal ethnic variation, of family structure and size, fertility rates, household composition, even political participation and preference. 2. The second research area is related to the first: having dealt with the degree and causes of structural variation within groups, the study will ask whether ethnicity was the single most important factor in determining structural variation between groups. That is, after controlling for demographic variation within groups, how much structural variation would still persist among them? Once that question is answered we can see what was distinctive about the immigrant experience in cities–indeed what was distinctive about the experience of all ethnic groups. Until we know whether ethnic differences in property ownership and family structure and the like simply reflected differences in occupation, age, length of residence in the city or whether they derived from distinctive ethno-cultural values and preferences, we will not know what to make of the urban experience of either foreign-born or native born ethnic groups. And to find that out we will compare the immigrant experience with that of the native-born, contrasting persons of similar age, length of residence in the city and occupation. 3. The third research area to be explored builds on the foundation provided by the other two. It examines how the dynamics underlying internal structural variation within and between a community’s ethnic groups affected economic, cultural and political conflict and accommodation. We will test whether structural differences and social characteristics associated with ethnic groups pointed only toward instability and mutual incompatibility, or toward stability and complementarity as well. In doing so, we will utilize our examination of the age structures, sex ratios, migration rates and neighborhood settlement patterns of the city’s ethnic groups. Those patterns can tell us among other things, whether immigrants, even the “wild Irish,” had a disproportionate number of young men new to the city who lived in large boarding houses outside the restraining social control of family groups; whether there was a shortage of immigrant women, whose absence might have been compensated by bars, brothels and other social establishments catering to the needs and amusements of a floating population of young unmarried men; whether city life weakened working-class and immigrant family ties, such that they had a disproportionate number of “broken” or female-headed families; whether age and class affected immigrant families differently from native-born families; and whether the degree of ethnic stratification in occupation and property ownership suggest that the immigrants’ plight was one of unrelieved desperation and poverty, without significant opportunities for advancement or improvement. After examining such “objective” conditions as described above, we will examine how these characteristics were perceived, particularly by the native-born, and how they affected the political structures and conflicts of the period. We have singled out the native-born for closest scrutiny because it was their consciousness and political arrangement which underwent the most obvious and easily ascertainable tensions and changes. The loudest screams of outrage over the social crisis of the city occurred in “their” newspapers; the greatest political upheavals occurred among “their” parties–the Whigs, Know-Nothings and Republicans. We already know that to many native-born the immigrants were at best unwitting tools of unscrupulous politicians, whose ever increasing numbers threatened a political take-over. But to understand fully the perception of the native-born and their response, one must learn whether the period was one of the unrelieved conflict between immigrants and native-born, whether the conflict involved riots and street violence or was confined to editorials and politics, how the native-born perception of the immigrants squared with “reality,” whether the issues which upset the native-born related exclusively to the foreign-born population, or whether there were troubling aspects of their own social structure as well, and, most importantly, whether there was anything distinctive about the characteristics–demographic, economic, ethnic–of political leaders voting bases that on a local level operated to promote accommodation as well as conflict.

Notes: Donated by the Free Congregation (Freie Gemeinde) of Sauk City and the Park Hall Preservation Foundation, July 2004.

Abstract: Tells the story of German immigrants and their contributions to Sauk City, Wisconsin as well as the history of the Free Thought Congregation and Park Hall. Max Gaebler, a former minister of the First Unitarian Society of Madison, writes that Park Hall’s architecture speaks of German architecture while the archives and library in the hall speak of the philosophy of the founders, who left Germany after 1848 during a period of intellectual, political, and religious ferment. Peter Shrake, director of the Sauk County Historical Society, offers a glimpse of Sauk City, Sauk County, and America during the mid-19th century. Paul Wolter, president of the Sauk County Historical Society, profiles Alfred Clas, the architect of Park Hall.

Goeres, Henry. Yellowbird: Ein auf Wahrheit beruhender Roman aus der Zeit der ersten Ansiedlungen des Town Schleswig, Manitowoc Co., Wis. Chilton, Wis.: Verlag “Wisconsin Demokrat”, n.d. 159 pp.
Notes: Donated by Ronald W. Kletzien, 1991. [Adapted from “History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin,” by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, vol. 2, pp.532-535.] Goeres was one of the pioneers of Kiel, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. He was born in Wevelinghofen, Rhine Province, Germany on May 20, 1846, a son of Bernard Goeres. The family came to the United States in 1856, locating first in Plymouth, but settling in Kiel the next year. Bernard Goeres established the first blacksmith shop, which was later run by another son, Max, until he was drowned in the Sheboygan River. In Chicago, Henry Goeres learned the painter’s trade and followed it until he retired, and as he had studied law, although he was never admitted to the bar, he acted as advisor for many of his neighbors, who learned to depend upon his good common sense, as well as his legal knowledge. For years he was deputy sheriff and constable, and for thirty years was a notary public. In addition, he served many years as road commissioner. On January 9, 1872, he married Bertha Frese, of Holstein, Germany. Their children were as follows: Henry Joseph, a member of the Kiel band; Max, a dentist of Kiel; Theodore 0., a dentist of Lodi, Wisconsin; and three who died in infancy. Mr. Goeres is a member of the Sons of Herman. Since his retirement he has been interested in a number of matters, and has compiled some valuable facts relative to the early history of Manitowoc county for the State Historic Society, of which he is a member. The railroad came through this section in 1872, and as late as 1873, an Indian was arrested for killing one of his own people. A story written by Mr. Goeres, entitled “Yellowbird” gives a very accurate description of conditions in the pioneer days here. A curious collection and valuable as well, is one made by him, comprising hand-painted eggs of all the noted people in the world, and flower designs of every description. This collection numbers some eight thousand specimens and was on exhibition at the Columbian World’s Exposition in 1893. For many years he spent much time in literary pursuits, and as correspondent for German language papers. Henry Goeres died April 25, 1927.

Good, William Alexander. “A History of the General Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America. Dissertation.” Yale University, 1967. 309 pp.
Notes: UMI, printed in 1988. Book, in MadCat.
Abstract: The General Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America, of which this dissertation is a history, existed from 1867 until it merged with two other Lutheran bodies to form the United Lutheran Church in America in 1918. Origins of the General Council are related to a large extent to the confessional issue among some of the America’s Lutherans, and particularly to the involvement of the Ministerium of Pennsylvania in the issue. Some Lutherans had been advocating an accommodation of the sixteenth century Lutheran Confessions to the nineteenth century American scene. Others believed that the only churches justified in using the name “Lutheran” were those which subscribed to the doctrines of the Reformation as they were originally given. The Ministerium of Pennsylvania, holding strongly to this latter view, led several synods in the formation of the Council in 1867 on this confessional basis, which the Council maintained throughout its existence. Most of its theological activity during its half century of existence concerned the practical application of the confessional position. It was influential in bringing together ultimately the less confessionally oriented bodies, at the same time helping in the Americanization process of the nation’s Lutherans. The ministry of the General Council revolved largely around missionary activity including missions to immigrants, establishing congregations across the United States and in areas of Canada, and foreign mission outposts in India and Japan, especially. It also contributed significantly to liturigical and education work of the Lutherans in America. During its entire existence the Council was interested in unity and union among America’s Lutherans. It participated and often led in many of the steps which contributed to this greater unity. This is evidenced in its willingness to converse with other Lutherans and to cooperate with them in numerous undertakings. At the same time the American social environment also influenced it and other Lutherans in ways that led to unity. Thus, by the end of the first decade of the twentieth century various forces both from within and without the Lutheran Church had combined to make merger of three bodies a reality. The precipitating factor was the quadri-centennial observance of the Reformation. The General Council took the lead in using this event to unite with the General Synod and the United Synod South to form the United Lutheran Church in America. While this still included a minority of America’s Lutherans, it was to be followed by other mergers in the decades which have ensued. The United Lutheran Church itself has since merged to help form what is today known as the Lutheran Church in America.

Notes: Donated by Arnold Gossler; Druck: Boehmer Druckerei, Simmern; “Beitrag zur Auswandererforschung von Arnold Gossler.”
Abstract: The result of several years’ research into what the author calls the “forced emigration”of 1852 from the Hunsrueck-Mosel area of Germany, this richly illustrated monograph begins with an overview of emigration from German-speaking lands to countries such as Brazil and America, then focuses on the former Amt Senheim and its history of emigration. Gossler writes that the mayors of five communities–Senheim, Grenderich, Liesenich, Mittelstrimmig, and Altstrimmig–developed a plan to send the willing poor to America at the cost of the communities. Many of these immigrants came to Wisconsin. Gossler includes a listing of the individuals who departed those communities in 1852, as well as those who emigrated between 1829 and 1890 who were not part of the 1852 groups. The final section examines German emigration to Brazil.

Graber, Robert Bates. “The Sociocultural Differentiation of a Religious Sect: Schisms among the Pennsylvania German Mennonites. Dissertation.” The University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, 1979. 294 pp.
Notes: UMI, printed in 1988. Book, in MadCat.
Abstract: Schisms among the Pennsylvania German Mennonites are analyzed as differentiations of parent groups into factions differing in degree of social boundedness. (A group is firmly bounded to the extent that it excludes persons and influences, and governs admission by a rite of passage.) A minority faction, or splinter group, was either firmly or weakly bounded compared to its corresponding majority faction, or main group. Schisms in which the splinter groups attracted only a small minority of the parent group membership are said to have been narrow in scope. Schisms varied in the extent to which redressive action occurred within the parent group, or involved outsiders as well. These schisms permit multiple testing of hypotheses about age and wealth. Weakly bounded splinter group leaders are predicted to have been younger and more prosperous than main group leaders. Firmly bounded splinter group leaders are predicted to have been older and less prosperous than main group leaders. Data were collected on 15 schisms occurring between 1778 and 1969, using published sources, United States census schedules, and county tax rolls. Due to selective survival of information, samples consisted mainly of ordained leaders, although some influential laymen were included. Sample sizes were small, ranging from 5 up to 43. Five schisms produced weakly bounded splinter groups, while ten produced firmly bounded splinter groups. The hypothesis about age in weakly bounded splinter groups is supported in four out of five schisms. The differences are not pronounced, however. The wealth hypothesis for weakly bounded splinter groups is supported in three of the five schisms. Of the ten firmly bounded splinter groups, only three supported the age hypothesis. Wealth data were located for eight of the firmly bounded splinter groups. Only three of them provided support for the wealth hypothesis. The analysis of redressive action and schism scope pointed to the special significance of two schisms. In one, the most prosperous leader had not channeled his resources into providing the sect with a needed service. Although the schism had broad scope, it was contained within a single geographic region. In the other, the most prosperous leader fulfilled a widespread need rooted in the sect’s demographic expansion. For the first time, a schismatic conflict was not contained within a single geographic region. Widespread reaction occurred against the boundary weakening trends advocated by this leader. It is suggested that the withdrawal of these reactionary splinter groups contributed to the subsequent higher integration of the sect by reducing internal variation across regions rather than merely within them, as was the case in other schisms.

Notes: Includes bibliographical references. Donated by J Tiedemann, February 2020.
Abstract: In 1918, President Wilson signed an order requiring all “enemy aliens” to register with the government. The order applied to anyone who had been born in Germany or one of its allied countries and was not yet naturalized. With over ten percent of the German-born population in the United States, Wisconsin was disproportionately impacted by the measure. Otto and Ida Grady, the author’s great-grandparents, were among those forced to register. They had arrived in Wisconsin as children fifty years earlier.

Graebner, Alan N. “The Acculturation of an Immigration Lutheran Church: The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, 1917-1929. Dissertation.” Columbia University, 1965. 385 pp.
Notes: UMI, printed in 1988.
Abstract: The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod is a conservative Lutheran denomination organized by German immigrants in 1847. It grew to be the largest of the original immigrant Lutheran groups, expanding from the Midwest to both coasts. The Synod retained, however, both a remarkably monolithic structure and a distinctly German character well into the twentieth century. By the First World War, German was still the language of most worship services and religious instruction. Such usage indicated the general lack of Americanization within the Synod. In the early years of the First World War, Missouri Synod Lutherans favored the Central Powers. This attitude and the use of German made the Synod a popular target for the hysterical patriotism which accompanied American entry into the war. Missouri Synod pastors and congregations were victims of outrageous violations of civil liberties. The war experience was beneficial, however, for it forced a radical quickening in the pace of acculturation. Between World War I and the Depression, impressive changes were made in language, missionary orientation, lay-clergy relations, fund raising, and in organization. English had been introduced in the Synod before 1900, but not until the war was it generally adopted. By the end of the Twenties it had achieved dominance over German in almost every aspect of Synodical life. The adoption of more English, however, meant that soundly Lutheran literature had now to be provided in English. German had helped isolate the Synod from many currents in American life; this linguistic insulation had now to be replaced by indoctrination in the English Synodical press. A new cadre of English-speaking leaders had now to be developed. To a large degree, all this was successfully done by the Depression. In the absence of mass German immigration, the post-war Missouri Synod faced a catastrophic drop in growth until it turned to native Americans as its mission field. Yet, in American missions, the Synod had to train its pastors in new techniques and also had to cope with population shifts of the Twenties. The rural itinerant missionary system had to be contracted while new churches had to be founded in fast-growing suburbs. To effect such changes, reformers in the Synod called for a rationalization of mission administration. Although much remained to be done by 1929, the Synod was by then committed to an “American” mission policy. The reorientation of mission effort involved also the phenomenal rise of evangelical advertising. Most prominent was the New York-based American Lutheran Publicity Bureau, representing an Americanized element of the Synod’s clergy. The Bureau’s program included newspaper advertising, tract distribution, and special publicity projects. Another development was early Synodical efforts in religious radio broadcasting. Publicity, radio, mass rallies, and the construction of impressive churches and educational buildings all helped give the Missouri Synod Lutheran status in the American society into which he was integrating. The Lutheran immigrant community had traditionally been led by the Lutheran pastor. In the rapidly acculturating Synod, however, there was fruitful conflict and cooperation between laity and clergy as Herr Pastor became Reverend. The focal point for lay activism became fund raising, and the key organization, the Lutheran Laymen’s League. Founded in 1917, the League raised financial expectations and awakened the laymen to their potential. After its initial success, though, the League had difficulty finding an adequate base until 1929 when it reorganized and adopted radio evangelism as its goal. With impetus provided by the laymen and seconded by interested clergy, the Synod during the Twenties made significant improvements in fund raising techniques, such as special drives, envelopes, and complete canvassing. Regular Synodical receipts rose steadily; budgets rose even more quickly. The resulting pressure helped produce a more centralized bureaucracy administering the Synod. By 1929 the Synodical laity had assumed the financial duties imposed by the American religious system. The Missouri Synod was not completely Americanized by 1929, but it had changed remarkably since 1917, and gave every indication of having established the base for future growth among American, rather than immigrant, denominations.

Griggs, Joan Druesedow. “The Poems of Christian Diers.” The Journal (German-Texan Heritage Society), vol. 30, no. 1, Spring 2008, pp. 79-85, ill.
Abstract: Christian Diers left Germany on September 20, 1872 and settled in La Grange, Fayette County, Texas. The author was provided with a book of poems written by Christian Diers; his poems had found their way to Germany from Texas, and wre bound in a book by Warner Harms. “There are forty poems in the book dealing with [Christian’s] decision to leave Germany, the journey to Texas, his marriage to Meta Renken, their life on the farm, and some of his philosophical thoughts. They serve as another view of the life of German immigrants in Fayette County during the nineteenth century.” Two poems are presented here, one in German and English, the other in English only.

Notes: Bound issues of Das Evangelische Magazin. Verlegt von Lauer und Mattill, Cleveland, Ohio. Redigirt von C. A. Thomas und R. Matt. Editor’s Note to this article: “Etwas spaet, aber dennoch interessant.”
Abstract: Begins: “Warum ich nicht ‘Centennialfeier’ schrieb? Nicht darum als ob ich meinte, dass die Deutschen hierzulande dieses Wortes nicht kundig waeren. Der schwaebische Metzger, der seinem Buben eine schallende Ohrfeige hinhieb mit den Worten: ‘Du Sentennel-Schlofmuetz, so putzt ma koine Saeufueess,’ muesste mich schon eines andern belehren. Aber wenn’s deutsch ist, soll’s deutsch sein, und womoeglich in der Ueberschrift. Warum die Nachklaenge so spaet nachklingen? Es ist wahr, dieses Federstriche kommen wie der ‘hinkende Bote’ nach, aber das soll dir, freundlicher Leser, kein Nachtheil sein, denn wer gleich schreibt, kann wohl programmmaessiger schreiben, aber wer wartet, bis ihm die Sachen in ‘poetische Ferne’ gerueckt sind, kann, um nur einen Vortheil anzugeben, objectiver schreiben.” On page 420: “Dass der Yankee praktisch ist, zeigte sich auch hier. Da und dort sah man solche Pfiffige, die statt in die Haende zu klatschen, zwei Brettchen in der Hand hielten und sie weidlich zusammen schlugen. Damit haben sie Doppeltes erreicht: die Haende geschont und den Laerm vermehrt. Der arme Storch muss das Klappern mit seinem Schnabel besorgen; ob der amerikanische Storch nicht am Ende auch noch auf diese Idee kommt? Auf einem Storch-Congress sollte sie entschieden in Vorschlag gebracht werden. Praktische ist der Yankee, aber der Sinn fuer das Schicklich und Schoene liegt doch noch vielfach in Windeln. Man sollte einen Praesidenten nicht anklappern, es kommt doch beim Jubel nicht auf die Groesse des Laerms an.” And near the end of the article: “Endlich kam die deutsche Abtheilung, welche nach dem Programm haette zuerst kommen sollen. Nun wurde es farbenreich; es kamen historische und allegorische Darstellungen (Tableaus) und zwar ueber 50. Diese zu schildern, muss ich mir versagen des Raumes wegen, aber sie waren der Glanzpunkt der Parade, was die Amerikaner neidlos anerkannten.”

Notes: Ülkü Güney; Fakültesi.
Abstract: In the 19th century, disappointed by the failed Revolution of 1848, many Germans including artisans and intellectuals immigrated to the USA. One of the particular destinations for this transatlantic mass migration was the newly developing city of Chicago. German immigrants were able to cope with the challenges of immigration and also became a powerful ethnic group that established its own cultural institutions and shaped the social and political landscape. The most important factor that efficiently preserved the German culture was the German language press. The German press not only enabled the continuation of the German language for German immigrants but also facilitated, along with the German schools, the spreading and broadening influence of German culture. With the outbreak of the WWI, however, and the entry of the USA in the War as an opponent of Germany, the anti-German sentiment of other ethnic populations and the ruling classes became hostile. The nationalistic attitude of Germans and their support for Germany put them into a conflict of loyalty. The price they paid for their strong attachment to their culture and for their loyalty to their country of origin turned out to be the loss of strong German cultural influence in Chicago. This article aims to disclose the process of the construction and dissolution of German ethnic identity in Chicago by means of tracing the German language press. The empirical material that is used in the study includes selected articles, reports and announcements from original newspapers in German language. The time period of the quoted newspapers covers publications in Chicago from the 1870s through the end of the First World War.

Notes: A thesis submitted for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
Donated by Lester Seifert.
Abstract: This thesis gives the history of the German theater in Milwaukee in two chronological parts: 1850-1868 and 1868-1875. The division was made because at 1868 the German theater was given a permanent home and financial support; thereafter the financial success of the theater was assured and more attention placed on the artistic aspect. For each historical era of the German theater, the author gives an account of the “external” history, including the main theater, secondary theater, visiting stars, and attitude of critics. This is followed in both sections by a literary review. Most of the sources for this information are German newspapers published in Milwaukee during the time of the German theater.

Abstract: Crum’s impeachment story is an outstanding example of the fear, hatred, and paranoia that swept Montana and the nation during the World War I period. The transcript of the Crum impeachment trial provides a unique opportunity to examine and analyze the ideas and words used by common people who testified during the trial to damn the judge (who was of German descent) and to demonstrate their own patriotism. Attention to the transcript illuminates some of the cultural and political fabric of a trying time in American history. It was a time when immigrant outsiders or “others” did everything possible to present themselves as American.

Abstract: Examines farming in the Great Plains of the United States at the beginning and the end of the twentieth century to ask whether the idea that German immigrants farmed distinctively holds up under close empirical scrutiny. Also assesses whether German farming patterns found at the beginning of the century were still evident at century’s end. Results do confirm certain expectations suggesting that ethnicity did matter in understanding agricultural outcomes.
