| MKI Annotation | Gustav Struve (known as Gustav von Struve until he gave up his title) was born 11 October 1805 in Munich, Bavaria, and died 21 August 1870 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary). He was a German surgeon, politician, lawyer, and publicist, and a revolutionary during the German revolutions of 1848–1849 in Baden, Germany. Following the failure of the revolutions, Struve spent a decade in the United States where he was active as a reformer. In New York City, Struve promoted German public schools and edited Der Deutsche Zuschauer (The German Observer). In 1852 he began writing, with the assistance of his wife, a universal history (Weltgeschichte) from the standpoint of radical republicanism. A supporter of Fremont and then Lincoln, Struve was an abolitionist who joined the Union Army. He returned to Germany in 1863. |
