Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - German immigrants and their descendants are integral to New Jersey's history. When the state was young, they founded villages that are now well-established communities, such as Long Valley. Many German immigrants were lured by the freedom and opportunity in the Garden State, especially in the nineteenth century, as they escaped oppression and revolution. German heroes have played a patriotic part in the state's growth and include scholars, artists, war heroes and industrialists, such as John Roebling, the builder of the Brooklyn Bridge, and Thomas Nast, the father of the American cartoon. Despite these contributions, life in America was not always easy; they faced discrimination, especially during the world wars. But in the postwar era, refugees and German Americans alike--through their Deutsche clubs, festivals, societies and language schools--are a huge part of New Jersey's rich cultural tapestry.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The New Jersey Butterflies, officially the Third New Jersey Cavalry, was formed for the last year of the Civil War. They were also known as the First American Hussars; their creation by an alcoholic ex-officer of the Union Army was supposed to entice men to join a galloping, dashing, romantic cavalry unit. Clothed in orange gilt trimmed hats and capes, they were supposed to charge armed only with a saber, in most traditional European Cavalry fashion, into battle and subdue an enemy armed with rifles. This book is not about battlefield configurations, but rather about the men themselves. Individual stories from original accounts will examine how this glorious, historically victorious, difficult and often tragic year affected their return to the daily world of doctors, teachers, lawyers, clerks and workmen.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The immigrant communities in New York, for example, Little Italy, Frankfurt on the Hudson (Inwood) in Manhattan, Arthur Avenue (Bronx), Ridgewood (Queens), Bedford Avenue (Brooklyn), produced many heroes in America over the past three centuries. There are family tales and folklore about ancestors, good and bad, who traversed the oceans to get a fresh start in America. They include 'jumping ship,' names changed on Ellis Island upon arrival, and apocryphal tales of nobility, military, and scandal in the old country. Germans told them around the family Stammtisch with Oma, Italians and Irish told them at Sunday dinners with Nonno and Sammathi, the Jewish population told them at Shabbat dinners with Bubbe, African and Native American families inherited rich oral traditions telling tales originated in foreign and native lands passed down to each generation. All the stories often repeated are a familial oral history, which is passed on to each following younger generation. The family table is, and was, a safe oasis for family members who were and still are bullied by other ethnicities. During the nineteenth century, all immigrants were hated by the Know-Nothing party, which repeatedly was reborn through the avenues of hatred and ostracism This book is based on stories told at the table connected to people who were famous and not so famous in family lore.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Carl Schurz was a larger-than-life public figure whose exploits, real and concocted appeared in newspapers nationwide during the nineteenth century. His letters to Fanny Chapman, his secret love, leave a picture of an age of turmoil, corruption, social graces, and artistic explosion. It took a renaissance man like Carl Schurz to travel among the greats in the literary, artistic and political arenas with grace and judgement. The tragedy of his life, if there was one, is that he is nearly forgotten in the modern world in the face of revisionist history. He was a fighter for human rights including all races and creeds and a pioneer muckraker in a corrupt city of a 'Gilded Age'. Lost are his educational contributions, his unpopular and prophetic political stance for Civil Service reform and his fight against a trend toward national imperialism.…
