AbstractThe Holyland region is among the most distinctive settlements of Catholic German-speaking immigrants in Wisconsin, comprising an area primarily in Fond du Lac and Calumet counties. Prof. Schlemper examines reasons for nineteenth-century emigration from the Vulkan Eifel region of what was then Rhenish Prussia to the Holyland area, and identifies how these settlers have affected the identity of east-central Wisconsin up to the present day.
