Legend says that Tyrker accompanied Leif Ericson to the New World and thus, was the first German in North America. The first Germans to land in what would become the United States, arrived at Port Royal, South Carolina, in 1562. Group immigrations began in the 1600s. This work also describes the conditions in Germany prior to 1700 which contributed to the German immigrations to America and includes several facsimile title-pages of books published in Europe in the 17th century which encouraged immigration. Part One includes the Introduction; The Life and Work of Julius Friedrich Sachse; and, German-American Studies, 1492-1992, and Beyond. Part Two includes a Historical Introduction, At the Close of the Medieval Era, Dawn of the Modern Period, Effect of the Great Discoveries, The Earliest Attempt at German Colonization, The Store of Welserland, The Grants to Anton and Hieronymus Fugger, Religious Causes Inducive to German Emigration, The Thirty Years War, Dutch and Swedish Attempts at Colonization, The French Wars of Conquest, German Emigration to America, Literature Used to Induce German Emigration, and an Appendix. Part Three offers the editor's conclusion and sources for further study.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52587789517073,"sku":"NLS9781556135392","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53187137044753,"sku":"NIN9781556135392","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781556135392.jpg?v=1761056971"},{"product_id":"german-americana-in-europe-book-don-h-tolzmann-9780788406744","title":"German-Americana in Europe","description":"If you are one of the sixty million Americans who trace their heritage to German-speaking lands, you are probably already familiar with Don Heinrich Tolzmann's prolific dissemination of books on German-American history and genealogy. In this two-for-one reprint, Dr. Tolzmann has combined related books originally published by the Department of Historical Research of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The original works are Marion Dexter Learned's Guide to the Manuscript Materials Relating to American History in the German State Archives (1912) and Albert B. Faust's Guide to the Materials for American History in Swiss and Austrian Archives (1916). According to Dr. Tolzmann's introduction, these octogenarian books are still of value because of their specific focus on the German-Americana materials within the archives. Genealogists may discover many new avenues of research through the cited sources that deal with emigration from the German-speaking lands to settlements in the U.S. This publication also stands out among guides to German archives for covering Austria and Switzerland as well as Germany. The extensive name and subject indices from each of the original books are included in this reprint. These indices will guide the researcher through the plethora of mostly 18th and 19th century citations of political papers, passenger lists, personal diaries, diplomatic letters and other materials. These materials are arranged in descending order from cantonal to municipal institutions, so items may also be looked up by region using the table of contents.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52593276059921,"sku":"NLS9780788406744","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53380909433105,"sku":"NIN9780788406744","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780788406744.jpg?v=1761067508"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-don-h-tolzmann.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
