| Abstract | Cazden's article discusses the attempts of Forty-Eighters to extend their spheres of influence from only German-speaking newspapers to ones printed in the English language. “The inability to speak English effectively was the bane of many aspiring prophets, politicians, and social reformers. As Carl Wittke has pointed out, Karl Heinzen’s ‘command of English was so limited that it deprived him of all opportunity to reach larger American audiences.’” |
