| Abstract | This article illustrates the importance of Konrad Nies for not only German-Americana, but also for a more complete understanding of the origins and history of America's current ethnic make-up. The recent discovery of Nies's complete manuscripts and private correspondence in the German Society of Pennsylvania has given access to aspects of his life which were previously unknown. This article also puts Nies into the context of a United States facing mass German immigration and the concomitant social, cultural and political issues. Nies is also shown as one of the first literary proponents of environmentalism based on conservation of our natural resources. |
