| Abstract | Summarizes a seminar presentation of a paper by Joseph Neville, program officer at the National Endowment for the Humanities, in which he described two weekly newspapers in Wilmington, Delaware that primarily served German-Americans and which regularly printed wartime letters or excerpts of letters from Germany written to relatives in Wilmington: the English-language Sunday Morning Star and the German-language Wilmington Lokal-Anzeiger und Freie Presse. Neville's paper examined "a German and German-American perspective on both the personal and larger dimensions of the Great War" and sought to provide a perspective on the loyalties of German-Americans in Wilmington to their former homeland before and after the United States entered the war in 1917. |
