| Abstract | Dolmetsch' 11 page article summarizes the life of Solomon Henkel, a Virginian born in 1777, and focusses primarily on Henkel's ability to combine the three professions mentioned above. Henkel published the New Market Press, which was a center for official Lutheran printing well into the 20th century. Dolmetsch explains that the Press published articles in both English and German to assist German-speaking people in Virginia to make the linguistic and cultural transition to living in the U.S. The article also gives a brief account of the breadth of German-American printing occurring in the East at the time. |
