| Abstract | Examines how the large influx of Germans into Buffalo deeply influenced American recreation, noting that the series of German festivals (such as the 1854 and 1858 Turnfeste, the 1860 Lagerbier Fest, and the annual St. John's Day Feste) enjoyed substantial American attendance. Also examines Americans' views on the consumption of beer among Germans. |
