33 A JOURNAL OF GERMAN-AMERICAN HISTORY PUBLISHED BY THE SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF THE GERMANS IN MARYLAND 1968 BALTIMORE, MARYLAND THE MARYLAND GERMANS A HISTORY by DIETER CUNZ This is the first full history of the German immigration to a state of the Middle Atlantic region which shows the typical American juxtaposition of Anglo-Saxon and Continental European immigrants. The book opens with the first coming of the Germans to the old Calvert Colony around 1650 and brings the account to the 1940's. Here is the story of the Americaniza- tion of these German immigrants and their descendents. And here is the story of the men who lead them to an important place in the civic, cul- tural and religious life of their "Free State." For twenty years now The Maryland Germans has been considered a standard history by scholars and laymen who are concerned with the story of the "peopling of America." * * * Published in 1948 by the Princeton University Press, this important work on immigration history which was sponsored by the Society for the History of the Germans in Maryland is now out-of-print. The Society has retained a very limited number of copies for sale to libraries, institutions and inter- ested individual scholars and researchers.
