Includes bibliographical references (pp. 72-99).
Explores the experiences and reports of German-American tourists who traveled to Germany following the outbreak of hostilities in the late summer of 1914, and how they became transmitters of a German perspective on that war after returning home. For “German-Americans who stayed at home, these tourists were eyewitnesses to what was happening in the Old Fatherland, and their accounts would carry the authoritativeness of not having been filtered through the ‘English press’ in the United States.” The author uses the experiences of German Americans from Wilmington, Delaware, as a case study.
