| Abstract | Contests the claim that the first Turnverein in the United States was the one established through the efforts of Friedrich Hecker in Cincinnati in November of 1848. The author refers to notices from the Louisville Anzeiger published in 1848 that suggests that the Turnverein in Louisville, Kentucky, was founded on July 25, 1848. Documents that would confirm this claim were unfortunately destroyed in a fire set by Know-Nothing arsonists on January 18, 1858. |
