Bulletin of the German Historical Institute, no.
33, Fall 2003, pp. 105-6.
Summarizes a seminar presentation of a paper by Joseph Neville, program officer
at the National Endowment for the Humanities, in which he described two weekly
newspapers in Wilmington, Delaware that primarily served German-Americans and
which regularly printed wartime letters or excerpts of letters from Germany
written to relatives in Wilmington: the English-language Sunday
Morning Star and the German-language Wilmington
Lokal-Anzeiger und Freie Presse. Neville's paper examined "a German
and German-American perspective on both the personal and larger dimensions of
the Great War" and sought to provide a perspective on the loyalties of
German-Americans in Wilmington to their former homeland before and after the
United States entered the war in 1917.

Freund, Alexander. "German-American Encounters After World War II and

Institute, no. 32, Spring 2003, pp. 131-40.
Report on a conference held at the German Historical Institute, September 26-28,
2002. "After 1945, Germans and Americans, both Jewish and gentile, encountered
each other and had to deal with the past of the Second World War and the Holocaust
in a variety of sites and situations in Germany and the United States. Most
often, the encounters were located in and shaped by the transatlantic experiences
of emigration, exile, occupation, return, exchange, and immigration. Gender
and generation shaped these encounters as much as time and place.. Sixteen scholars
from Germany, the United States, and Canada focused on such personal encounters
in public and private and at different levels of society, and on the effects
of these encounters on individuals and societies at large. The majority of papers
examined encounters between Germans, Jews, and Americans in postwar West Germany
and focused their attention on contemporary debates about Germans' ability to
overcome Nazism. Other papers looked at more recent times or settings in the
United States, exploring everyday encounters and constructions of memory, traditions,
and sites of encounter."

"In an almost classic chain migration from 1873 to 1893, a group of West
Prussians from Kreis Rosenberg and Kreis Merienwerder immigrated to Big Rapids,
Mecosta County, Michigan....For twenty-seven crucial years, Pastor [Ernest George]
Franck recorded the baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and burials of his ever-growing
immigrant congregation in neat, legible script. Not only did he record the vital
statistics, but he also included in a marriage record the maiden name of the
mother and the birthplace of the bride and groom–even the tiniest village
in parish."
Kersten, Holger. "The Creative Potential of Dialect Writing in Later-Nineteenth-Century
America." Nineteenth-Century Literature, vol.
55, no. 1, June 2000, pp. 92-117.
Holger argues for more favorable evaluations of those texts produced from the
end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries that, to achieve
their literary effects, availed themselves of the expressive potential inherent
in unconventional language use. Written by authors such as Finley Peter Dunne,
Charles Godfrey Leland, Thomas A. Daly, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Alexander Posey
and others—names rarely listed in standard literary histories—these
texts derived their appeal from the way they used language but also from the
perspective their linguistic strategy created. Their linguistic virtuosity,
their potential value as documents of folklore and linguistic diversity, and
their significance in the development toward alternative forms of literary expression
make them an unusual treasure in America's literary heritage.

in Nineteenth Century 'Dutch' Dialect Texts." MELUS
(The Society for the Study of the Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States),
vol. 21, Winter 1996, pp. 3-17.
"Dialect writing that set out to imitate the speech of immigrants has usually
been excluded from scholarly scrutiny on the basis of the assumption that this
form of expression was nothing but a stock dialect invented to denigrate the
foreigner.... A close look at some selected writers and their subject matter
makes it clear that, on the contrary, they usually had a lot of sympathy, if
not high regard, for their protagonists and the national group they stood for."
Examines the character of "Carl Pretzel," created by journalist Charles
H. Harris; anthologies of Dutch dialect anecdotes, songs, skits, and speeches,
most intended for recitation; actors who played German-American characters,
including Joseph Emmet and George S. Knight; and the poems of Charles Follen
Adams, who created "Yawcob Strauss" and other German dialect characters.

This selection from the Arabian Nights is intended for "the luckless boy
or girl beginner of riper age, either struggling with the too difficult language
of a book suitable for them as to subject matter, or turning away with...justifiable
disgust from the books which, though adapted to them as to language, are meant
to be read by children six or more years their juniors and which cannot possibly
interest them in the least.. It is intended to be chiefly a text for supplementary
reading, suitable either for the latter part of the first year of the study
of German or for the beginning of the second year." Donated by David M.
