Wisconsin German Land and Life

Book Overview

Taking innovative and varied approaches to immigration research, the German and American contributors to this volume focus on migrants from farming communities along the Rhine who relocated to Wisconsin in the nineteenth century. Drawing from a wealth of official records and archival materials on both sides of the Atlantic, these scholars look at the migrants' situation in their original homeland, their experience of the migration process, and their relationship to the land in Wisconsin.
