Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

By the time of the conflict, one hundred and fty thousand Germans had arrived in America, a number equal to half the population of Pennsylvania.

It illuminates their role in the founding of Germantown in 1683, the first German settlement in America, and traces the establishment of many other German communities throughout the colonies. Moreover, the book sheds light on the contributions of these immigrants to American life, including the founding of religious communities, the establishment of schools and universities, and the development of industry and commerce. By examining the vibrant culture and experiences of German immigrants, this book offers a rich and nuanced understanding of their impact on American society and history.
