Wisconsin
German Land and Life This volume, an innovative approach to
immigration research, is the cooperative project of a group of
German and American scholars. The focus is on migrants from farming
communities along the Rhine who relocated to Wisconsin in the
nineteenth century: from the Westerwald to Reeseville, from the
Cologne area to Cross Plains, from the Eifel to the so-called
Holyland in Fond du Lac and Calumet counties, and from Rhine
Hesse to Washington and Sheboygan counties. Taking different
approaches, the authors of the essays concentrate on the migrants'
relationship to the land, and use, among other sources, official
records on both sides of the Atlantic, such as census and family
records, and land registers, plat maps, and land surveys. The
broad picture presented here includes the migrants' situation
in their original home, the migration process itself, and their
experience in Wisconsin. |
