This is a concise survey of the role that America's largest ethnic
group, the German-Americans, has played in American history from
the 17th century to the present. The term "German-American" in this
volume refers to immigrants and their offspring from Germany,
Austria, Switzerland and other German-speaking areas of Europe.
Hence, the term "German" is used in a linguistic, cultural and
ethnic sense to cover the sum of German-speaking immigrants and
their descendants. This study is divided into six parts. Part I,
"Immigration and Settlement" traces German-American history from
the earliest beginnings into the present time, while Parts II and
III demonstrate the role German-Americans have played in
"Preserving the Union" and "Building the Nation." Part IV gives an
overview of the German-American experience. Part V discusses
German-American Heritage Month, and Part VI is a select
bibliography. Also includes map that shows percentages of
German-Americans in each of the United States, a census table and a
fullname index.
