Sinopsis

This book is a cornerstone in the written history of the German immigration to Pennsylvania. Neither a collection of family histories nor a collection of source records, it is nevertheless an extremely useful book for anyone undertaking research into Pennsylvania-German origins because it explains the background of German immigration, especially Palatine immigration, identifying the causes, the migration patterns, and the leading figures in the movement, describes the ocean voyage, the manner of conveyance, and the disposition of the immigrants, provides an understanding of the methods the Pennsylvania-Germans adopted in acquiring lands, and generally explains the impact of German immigration on American colonization.
