This book provides the most comprehensive history of German
migration to North America for the period 1709 to 1920 than has
been done before. Employing state-of-the-art methodological and
statistical techniques, the book has two objectives. First he
explores how the recruitment and shipping markets for immigrants
were set up, determining what the voyage was like in terms of the
health outcomes for the passengers, and identifying the
characteristics of the immigrants in terms of family, age, and
occupational compositions and educational attainments. Secondly he
details how immigrant servitude worked, by identifying how
important it was to passenger financing, how shippers profited from
carrying immigrant servants, how the labor auction treated
immigrant servants, and when and why this method of financing
passage to America came to an end.
