Immigrants in the Valley

Book Description
Thousands of newcomers flocked into the Upper Mississippi country in the decades leading up to the Civil War. Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, and Minnesota received immigrants from most areas of Europe, as well as Americans from the Upper South, New England, and the Middle Atlantic states. They all carried with them religious beliefs, experiences, and expectations that differed widely, attitudes and opinions which often threw them into conflict with each other. Drawing extensively on family letters sent home to Europe, missionary reports, employment records, and other diverse materials from 1830 to 1860, Wyman shows the interplay between the major groups traveling the roads and waterways of the Upper Mississippi Valley during those crucial decades. The result is a lively, richly illustrated account that will help Americans everywhere better understand their diverse heritage and the environment in which their family trees took root. A new preface to this paperback edition helps to bring the scholarship up to date.

Book Description
Excerpt from German Immigration to Southern Illinois, 1820-1860: Thesis The first German immigration to the United States occurr ed in the seventeenth century. This migration was due to various causes, but it was particularly due to the economic distress, brought on by the Thirty Years War, and to the desire for relig ious freedom among certain Protestant sects in Germany; These early German immigrants, for the most part, settled at Germantown, and in.other parts of Pennsylvania. During the first decades of the eighteenth century there was a gradual increase in the number of German immigrants. The most of them settled in the valley of the Mohawk and Schoharie Rivers in New York, and in the limestone regions of Pennsylvania. The emigration from Germany'was chiefly religious in character, although the favorable reports from ear lier German settlers in America and the more plentiful means of transportation, no doubt, played an important part in causing the Germans to leave the fatherland. In the eighteenth century also occurred the first German immigration to Illinois. The number of immigrants, however, was very small. Not until after 1850 did emigration directly from Ger many assume large proportions in Illinois. Many causes contributed to this increase in number; the chief reasons were the religious, political, and economic conditions in the fatherland. The glowing reports from Illinois no doubt'strongly reinforced the above causes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
