This book provides an introduction into the life and times of
Germans who settled in Pennsylvania. The first permanent all-German
settlement was established in America in October 1683 at
Germantown, which is now a part of Philadelphia. Germantown would
then become the German-American center into the 19th century. This
book describes immigration from Germany and the hardships
immigrants encountered, pioneer life, religion and education,
manners, customs and dress. Chapters discuss the distinctiveness of
the Mennonites as Pennsylvania Germans, and proverbs and
superstitions. Finally there is a short chapter devoted to
gleanings of old records, which deals primarily with the
Rosenberger family, beginning with the pioneer Heinrich
Rosenberger.
