  • The Eighteenth Century German Lutheran and Reformed Clergymen in the Susquehanna Valley*
    THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY GERMAN LUTHERAN AND REFORMED CLERGYMEN IN THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY* By CHARLES H. GLATFELTER T HE main facts of the German immigration into colonial lPennsylvania are well known. The promise of religious free- dom, the effect of advertising by William Penn and others, and the successful efforts of shipowners and their agents were factors which, either singly or in combination, brought thousands of dis- satisfied people into the province, the vast majority of them being from southwestern Germany and from Switzerland. Although there were a few scattered Germans in Pennsylvania before 1710, that year marks the beginning of significant immigration. From then until the Revolution the annual influx was considerable, reaching its climax during the years 1749-1754. There were times during the colonial period when the German population of Penn- sylvania approached one-half of the total, but after about 1765 the proportion slowly began to decline. It is probable that in 1790 one-third of the inhabitants of Pennsylvania were of German or Swiss extraction. Some of these immigrants remained in or near Philadelphia, where they were or became artisans. Many others helped to push the expanding frontier north and west of the capital, along the line of the Blue Mountains and eventually across the Susquehanna River. There were inducements which drew settlers into western Maryland, the Shenandoah valley of Virginia, and the back coun- try of North Carolina. Nevertheless, the hard core of German settlement in British America consisted of the colonial Pennsyl- vania counties of Northampton, Berks, Lancaster, and York. Even the county towns-Easton, Reading; Lancaster, and York-were predominately German in population.

PRESS OF THE NEW ERA PRINTING COMPANY LANCASTER, PA. PREFACE. Reformed Church History in this country has long been a subject of study. It is interesting to note that the first printed history of the Reformed Church in the United States was published not in America but in Germany. In the year 1846, the Rev. Dr. J. G. Buettner, the first pro- fessor of the first Theological Seminary in the State of Ohio, published " Die Hochdeutsche Reformirte Kirche in den Vereinigten Staaten von Nord-Amerika," in Schleiz, Germany. But even before that time, the Rev. Dr. Lewis Mayer, the first professor of the Reformed Theological Seminary at York, Pa., had been busy gathering materials for the history of the Reformed Church. Unfortunately he died at York, in 1849, before he had fully utilized the documents he had so carefully collected and copied. Only a brief sketch from his pen appeared in I.

This furthers the ambiguity between real and unreal. Long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, War and Turpentine is the absolute companion book for any art and history lover traveling to Belgium. Despite its position at the heart of Europe and its quintessentially European nature, Switzerland's history is often overlooked within the English-speaking world.

  • A HISTORICAL STUDY of HANDWRITING and DRAWING By
    THE HANDS OF JOHANNES WHISLER: A HISTORICAL STUDY OF HANDWRITING AND DRAWING by Matthew Capezzuto Dissertation Committee: Professor Judith M. Burton, Sponsor Professor Michael Hanchett Hanson Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date February 10, 2021 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2021 ABSTRACT THE HANDS OF JOHANNES WHISLER: A HISTORICAL STUDY OF HANDWRITING AND DRAWING Matthew Capezzuto The Book of Arithmetic Problems of Johannes Whisler (1814-1815), a mathematics exercise book in the collection of the American Folk Art Museum in New York City, is the central object of this study. This handwritten and illuminated book, created by a young Pennsylvania German man in the early 19th century, prompts a reevaluation of handwriting and doodling, with implications for the present era. The author documents the biographical and sociocultural circumstances surrounding the creation of Whisler’s cyphering book through primary and secondary historical research and applies Glăveanu’s theory of distributed creativity to describe the book as a creative process that emerged among people and objects, and across time. As direct indices of immediate actions, handwriting and doodling emerge in moment-to-moment action, even as these actions are embedded in longer periods of developmental and historical change; the author documents Whisler’s handwriting flourishes and doodles and describes the particular qualities of these mark making activities with reference to the sociocultural context in which they appear, Werner’s theories regarding the physiognomic perception of symbols, and Stern’s theory of vitality forms.

  • Early Harrisburg's Swedenborgian Challenge
    Early Harrisburg’s Swedenborgian Challenge Harrisburg in 1826 was a microcosm of the American religious scene, and the main issue was the how to handle the Second Great Awakening. The First Great Awakening, the introduction of “the heart-warming experience” to main- stream Protestantism in the 1700’s, was led by John Wesley and George Whitefield. Among the American denominations that arose from this movement and were active in the Harrisburg area were the Brethren in Christ (Jacob Engle), Evangelical Association (Jacob Albright), Methodist Episcopal (Francis Asbury), and United Brethren (Philip William Otterbein and Martin Boehm). Most of these denominations and individuals came out of the mainstream Mennonite, Lutheran, Episcopal and/or Reformed traditions. The Second Great Awakening of the 1800’s was the result of the con- tinued influence of these new experienced-oriented denominations on their more established creed-oriented predecessors. It threatened to split local Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Reformed congregations and conferences/synods. Compli- cating this was the resurgence of interest in the teachings of Emmanuel Swedenborg. Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a distinguished Swedish scientist and mathematician. He studied the relationship between science and the spiritual world, claimed to have direct communication with the spirit world, and left a large body of writings. Although commonly called Swedenborgians, his followers dislike that name because it suggests a human origin for his teachings. Officially known as the Church of the New Jerusalem, they refer to themselves as the New Church. The group was organized in London in 1783, when interested persons came together to print and study Swedenborg’s writings, and the first society in America was formed in Baltimore in 1792.

CLARK, JR. George Washington was probably the first prominent American to turn his eyes westward and think of the possibility of pouring the yet undeveloped wealth of the Mississippi Valley into the lap of the commercial cities of the Atlantic sea-board. His early surveying experiences and his expedition with Braddock to Fort Duquesne had taken him over the ground of one of the best natural routes across the mountains, and in his later years he spent much time in outlining plans for connecting the Potomac and Ohio Rivers by means of a canal. Some twenty-five years after his death the opening of the Erie Canal and the consequent rush of western trade to the Great Lakes and New York showed the merchants of Baltimore and Philadelphia that they must bestir themselves or stagnate.1 Baltimore early made up her mind in favor of a rail- road to the west.
