| Title, Analytic | A New Holstein: History of acculturation |
| Abstract | The present investigation sought to clarify whether and in what manner a compact settlement of countrymen in the U.S. determined the acculturation process. The results show that New Holsteiners did not make conscious efforts to retain their Germaness. The settlers had their children learn English early in school, and often began on their own to pick up the new language, which created the foundation for continued assimilation. |
