Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from German Archives as Sources of German-American History, Vol. 5 There yet remain many sources of information unexhausted as to details of the part played by Germans in American history. In the archives at Marburg, still made practically inaccessible by the want of interest of the keeper in American history, there must be much of value and interest in American history, there must be much of value and interest. Every German officer was required to make full reports for the home authorities and to keep journals for inspection - few of these have been printed. It would be well for the Pennsylvania German Society to invite co-operation of similar bodies in asking the U. S. Government to secure from the German Government access to the Marburg and other collections, and to make calendars with a descriptive account of the most interesting papers. The Library of Congress is having such calendars made in the State Paper Office and other record depositories in England, of papers relating to American history, particularly that of the Revolution. In a recent volume of the invaluable publication, the Report of the English Historical Commission, there are detailed descriptions of various matters relating to the German soldiers serving with the British in this country. There are curious and interesting descriptions of the efforts made by the American authorities to secure recruits from the German soldiers who were prisoners of war - both men and officers reported quite fully on this subject, and clearly there must have been many successful conversions of the German soldiers into good Americans, for substantial inducements and rewards were held out.
