Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Germans in Colonial Times Singularly little is known of the magnitude of the German emigration to America in colonial times. The very fact of such a movement is commonly unknown to the American at the present day; and even the descendants of these Teutonic pioneers are often ignorant or - more inexcusably - ashamed of their progenitors, and have sought by anglicizing their names and lightly passing over the fact of their descent from "Dutchmen" to conceal the wide and deep traces which this movement has left on American life. Yet this Volkerwanderung (for it merits the name) brought to our shores in the century before the Revolution one hundred and fifty thousand people, one-half of the population of the great province of Pennsylvania, besides large settlements in the provinces of New York, the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, not to mention the small and ill-fated colonies of Law on the Mississippi and those in the State of Maine.
