| Abstract | Domschcke was a journalist with wide-ranging abilities, including as an orchestra conductor in Dresden where he conducted early Wagner operas. Entangled in the revolutionary movements of 1848-1849, Domschcke landed (after imprisonment?) in July 1951 in New York. He became involved with Free Congregations on the East Coast as well as establishing a newsletter and editing a German-language newspaper, the Neu-England Zeitung. Following further newspaper efforts in Louisville, Domschcke arrived in Milwaukee in the summer of 1854. He gave a lecture appealing to the German American population to switch their loyalty from the Democratic to the Republican Party and the Republicans established a printing press and editorial offices for him, from which he published "Der Corsar" for fourteen months. Following a failed effort to publish a daily, the Milwaukee "Journal," another weekly, the "Atlas" appeared successfully from March 1856 into the period of the Civil War. |
