| Abstract | Miranda Wilkerson and Joseph Salmons presented findings from their study of the 1910 U.S. census (the first to record whether residents could speak English), Wisconsin court records, articles in the state's German-language newspapers, and portrayals in German-language literature from around the same period to show that in many Wisconsin communities there were substantial numbers of monolingual spaekers of German well into the 20th century, often decades after immigration to those locations had ceased. |
