| Abstract | Historians of the Civil War, of the mid-nineteenth-century United States, and of American immigration would find this a welcome source, and the volume strongly merits an English translation on these grounds alone. Students of German immigration may well find this collection indispensable. The correspondence, with its focus on conditions and experiences within the wartime United States, has less to say to historians of Germany. Yet those with transnational interests--in migration, including return migration, in trans-Atlantic networks and influences, and in the image of America in the German states--may also find this collection rewarding. |
