In Citizens in a Strange Land, Hermann Wellenreuther examines
the broadsides--printed single sheets--produced by the Pennsylvania
German community. These broadsides covered topics ranging from
local controversies and politics to devotional poems and hymns.
Each one is a product of and reaction to a particular historical
setting. To understand them fully, Wellenreuther systematically
reconstructs Pennsylvania's print culture, the material conditions
of life, the problems German settlers faced, the demands their
communities made on the individual settlers, the complications to
be overcome, and the needs to be satisfied. He shows how these
broadsides provided advice, projections, and comment on phases of
life from cradle to grave.
