| Abstract | Born in Barmen and growing up in Elberfeld, Theodor Wettstein came to America in 1848 and established himself in Milwaukee. He worked to promote the fledgling Republican Party among German immigrants six years before Carl Schurz arrived in Watertown, hosted weekly Sangerverein meetings four years before Buffalo organized its singing society, was the first president of the Milwaukee German Relief Society, and was even burned in effigy by those who thought he sought to bring "European despotism" to the German Mecca of Milwaukee. Wettstein also published two books that provided "counsel, guidance, and encouragement to Germans contemplating" immigrating to America. |
