Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Guide to the Materials for American History in Swiss and Austrian Archives This descriptive inventory of the manuscript materials for the history of the United states contained in the various archives of Switzerland and Austria stands closely related, in the plans of this department, to a previous volume in the same series, Professor Marion D. Learned´s Guide to the Manuscript Materials relating to American History in the German State Archives (Washington, 1912). Among the reasons for the preparation of the 1atter book, one, and on the whole the chief reason, is common to the two books, namely, the large part which emigration from German lands had in the populating of America. The records and other manuscript materials found in archives within the present German Empire are far from covering the whole history of that immigration, for a large part of it came from the German-speaking cantons of Switzerland, and a portion of it from the German parts of Austria. Therefore, after the preparation of Dr. Learned´s book, it was natural to think of supplementing it by researches in the archives of these German lands outside of the German Empire, and for such a task it was natural to obtain the aid of Professor Albert B. Faust of Cornell University, author of a widely-known history of The German Element in the United states (Boston, 1909). But if a volume were to be published having as its main subject the materials in the archives of the German cantons, it should for the sake of completeness include also a treatment of the less important materials in the archives of the French cantons. These the undersigned examined in the summer of 1912; Professor Faust´s researches, Erst in the Austrian archives and then in those of German Switzerland, occupied the spring and summer of the next year. Besides those officials in Switzerland and Austria to whom Dr. Faust´s thanks are expressed at the end of his preface, we are also very greatly indebted, for aid most kindly rendered in the general preparations for our expeditions, to their Excellencies, Dr. Paul Ritter, envoy of Switzerland to the United states, and Hon. Henry S. Boutell, envoy of the United states to Switzerland. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
