In the second half of the nineteenth century, hundreds of thousands
of German and Irish immigrants left Europe for the United States.
Many settled in the Northeast, but some boarded trains and made
their way west. Focusing on the cities of Fort Wayne, Indiana and
St Louis, Missouri, Regina Donlon employs comparative and
transnational methodologies in order to trace their journeys from
arrival through their emergence as cultural, social and political
forces in their communities. Drawing comparisons between large,
industrial St Louis and small, established Fort Wayne and between
the different communities which took root there, Donlon offers new
insights into the factors which shaped their experiences-including
the impact of city size on the preservation of ethnic identity, the
contrasting concerns of the German and Irish Catholic churches and
the roles of women as social innovators. This unique multi-ethnic
approach illuminates overlooked dimensions of the immigrant
experience in the American Midwest.
