Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This history consists of three main parts. The first seventy pages
cover the earliest settlement in the region, including Delaware Bay
and River. The following section examines the period prior to 1729
when Lancaster County was established. The third part
At a time in U.S. history when negative stereotypes and
prejudices toward the Germans in Pennsylvania abounded, Benjamin
Rush's account sought to redeem their image in the eyes of
Americans--both citizens and leaders. Rush uses sixteen points to
discuss his observation of the habits and culture of the
Pennsylvania Germans, portraying them as hardworking and
industrious farmers, opposed to debt and excess.
Published in 1789, just one year after the ratification of the
U.S. Constitution, this account remains as part of an
eighteenth-century narrative that stressed the virtues of
Jeffersonian Republican ideals, which Rush held strongly. His
positive generalizations about Pennsylvania German diet, material
culture, work ethic, religion, hospitality, and other manners came
from experience working with the members of the community, and are
put forth to reinforce the group as an example of citizenship to
others. The volume concludes with a call to citizens of the United
States, and national and state legislators, to see the Pennsylvania
Germans as a model for upholding the republican virtues of industry
and economy.
Benjamin Rush's brief account is accompanied, in this reprint of
an 1875 edition, by extensive notes, a preface, and appendixes
written by the Pennsylvania historian I. Daniel Rupp.
