| Abstract | In these two volumes, published by the Deutsche Gesellschaft von Milwaukee to celebrate the state's 50th anniversary, Wisconsin is described as the "most German-like out of all the communities in the Union." The first volume charts the history of Wisconsin and the German settlers who helped shape it. It follows the trails of the pioneer German immigrants, the elements of German culture that were adapted to the New World, the settlers' roles in the Civil War and in forming a new government, and the impact of the industrial revolution. The second volume continues to explore the impact of German culture on the developing culture, the political ramifications that were affecting the German citizens (for example, the Bennett Law campaign) and pictures the spirit of the German Volk at the turn of the century. |
