| Abstract | Translation of Gerstaecker's travel account. "In no other town in America, especially not in Cincinnati, even though probably more Germans are living there than in St. Louis, have I found the Germans to be so prevalent--and what characterizes this phenomenon best is the following anecdote which I heard from a local controller--a German--who [said]: 'I truly have to nail a note on my office door with the words 'English spoken here' because the Americans are no longer comfortable moving among the many Germans.'" |
