Vorwort written in Sheboygan, Wis., am 1. October 1892: "Der Zweck dieses
Büchleins ist kein anderer, als unsere heutige Jugend in etwa mit den damaligen
Verhältnissen und mit den Freuden und Leiden des deutschen Missionsdienstes
von anno dazumal bekannt zu machen und dadurch zu zeigen, wie nothwendig es
war, dass der deutsche Theil der ref. Kirche das Missionswerk unter den Deutschen
dieses Landes selbst in die Hand nahm."
[From Sheboygan Press, Aug. 27, 1919:] "The Rev. Janett was born in Switzerland
in 1839 and migrated to this country when he was a young man. He received his
training for the ministry at a small theological seminary near Chicago, and
on August 25, 1869, was ordained to the ministry, at Richland, Iowa. For one
year and three months he served as a home missionary in the west, voluntarily,
with no salary whatever." Donated by Sheboygan County

story is based upon facts taken from an old diary of one of the early settlers
on Lake Winnebago. The story appeared in German from the Publishing House of
Mr. G. Brumder, Milwaukee, Wis. . . . Its interest is greatly increased from
the fact that it happened so near our homes, and in our own state. Older people
all over the state tell sad tales of their hardships in early times. . . . [W]e
very diligently set to work to translate it, and after revising it several times,
and rejecting all long and superfluous words, we deem it ready to put before
the public." None of the characters in the book appear to be German immigrants.

pervasiveness of nineteenth-century confessionalism"; raise questions about
the relationship between Catholic revival and emigration; and to "help
clarify the logic of the emergent American state's concern with Catholic religion."

and Karl-Heinz Wandt. "Social Roles and Language Choice in an Old
Order Amish Community." Sociologia Internationalis, vol. 17, no.
1/2, 1979, pp. 47-70.
"Of all aspects of the overall aim, i.e. the description of the sign-based
behavior of the members of one specific Old Order Amish (OOA) isolate, the present
paper focuses on the functional distribution of the varieties (American English,
Pennsylvania German, and Amish High German) of the verbal repertoire. The social
unit under investigation was defined as the total of those persons in Kent County,
Delaware, U.S.A., who in January 1978 lived in households with OOA household
heads. This threefold criterion of time, region, and religious affiliation isolated
a total of 1314 persons living in 164 households distributed over a rural area
of about eight miles by eleven miles between Dover and the Maryland stateline. . . . Despite the sweeping criticism levelled at
role theory from a Marxist angle, we hazard to assume that in the isolate under
investigation role concepts provide the basis for a set of heuristic tools,
by means of which the way in which the members of the isolate perceive their
social world and organize their instrumental and sign-based interaction can
be reconstructed. . . . In that grooming and garment-mediated roles are signaled
before the opening of discourse, these nonverbal performatives . . . function
as 'stage markers' signaling the rules concerning the choice of variety, the
rules of address and personal referencing, discursive privileges and the use
of 'discourse lubricants' that apply for the ensuing discourse."

home for sick sisters. The money to build on a new site in Elm Grove came from
the Louis Mission Society of Bavaria, with funds donated by King Ludwig. The
site boasts a distinctly Bavarian-style castle like structure now known as Notre
Dame Hall.

"A comprehensive examination of the ways in which nine immigrant groups—Irish,
Germans, Scandinavians, Eastern European Jews, Italians, Poles, Hungarians,
Chinese, and Mexicans—responded to their new lives in the United States through
music. Each group's songs disclose an abiding concern over leaving their loved
ones and homeland and an anxiety about adjusting to a new society. But accompanying
these disturbing feelings was an excitement about the possibilities of becoming
wealthy and about looking forward to a democratic and free society."

Biography of Dr. Ernst Schmidt, who was born in 1830 in the

and later he was a member of a defense committee during the Haymarket Riot trial.
The reviewer finds the book more of interest to family members of the doctor
than to the general public.

Mecca of Milwaukee. Wettstein also published two books that provided "counsel,
guidance, and encouragement to Germans contemplating" immigrating to America.

"Perceiving Germanness—Changing Concepts of German Culture and History
as Seen from Abroad: A Swedish and an American Perspective." Ph.D. dissertation, University of Wales, 2003. 218 pp., ill.
"The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamics of perceptions
of Germanness during the last hundred years, from a Swedish and an American
perspective, and how time and distance affect ethnic identity, as experienced
from without and within. Field research was undertaken in two places during
a year: Milwaukee in Wisconsin, United States, and Sweden as a whole. These
two choices were considered as good examples of different connections to Germany
and Germans, and influences of Germanness, and constituted a relevant comparison.
The material was collected through participant observation, interviews, archive
material such as personal documents, and old newspapers. The research was explorative
through empirical methods, and the data collected is of qualitative character.
This thesis has brought out some interesting and important aspects of
identity, and more specifically about perceiving Germanness. Perceptions have
emerged in both static images, and dynamic processes of events or developments
in history. The world wars caused damage to German identity, especially the
First World War to Germanness in America. The Second World War, and especially
the Holocaust, has had a great effect in both countries. But also less dramatic
events influenced perceptions of Germanness. At the same time as perceptions
have changed completely due to certain events, there have been parallel perceptions
upheld by different groups in society. Many of the stereotyped ideas of Germanness
have been the same during the last hundred years, and changes in perceptions
have often stayed within similar categories. Certain events or processes have
made it difficult to be German at times, but expressing ethnic identity also
depends on social developments such as multiculturalism."
