This scant esteem of Martin salander together with the popular feeling that the nineteenth century was politically, morally, and ar­ tistically dull has kept the book on the library shelf. This study has been undertaken In the hope of demon­ strating that Keller * s Martin Salander is a social and political document of great interest to every citizen of a republican or democratic country. It was written for a world beset with the problems which arise from an uned­ ucated electorate endowed with far-reaching political powers, a government composed of self-interested and often corrupt politicians, and an industrial economy based on world trade and a speculative market. It..was written for a people who thought that a democratic ard generally prosperous nation was automatically safe from the social, political, and economic upheavals that might trouble tiie rest of the world; Keller wished to destroy this illusion* Martin Salander was not, therefore, of purely contemporary interest: "Die Zukunft gahSrt ihm. und d a m k&nn er das golden® Bach des Republlkaners warden.xr^ Martin Salander must, of course, be considered in the light of the general trends of the nineteenth cen­ tury. In the early nineteenth century an International and idealistic liberalism was in constant rebellion against the conservatism of church and state throughout Europe. After 1850 the individual nations, liberal or conservative, were concerned with highly practical domes­ tic problems which were influenced to an Increasing ex­ tent by the international economic situation. In conse­ quence of this historical development the writers of the nineteenth century became, in Hletzache1s words "immer entsohiedener, antiideallstlscher, gegenatflndllcher, furehtloser, arbeltsamer, m&asvoller, misstraulscher gegen plStzllche Verindenmgen, ant ire volut lonfir . Martin Saiander represents the culmination of just such a development in Keller. By means of this book he tried to persuade his people that the day of the idealistic revo­ lutionary was past, that the citizen of the future must 1/ Baeohtold.J., Gottfried Keller's Leben.

In many respects, Martin Salandor might have been written for the American citizen of today. - 4- CHAPTER I THE LITERARY FORM OF MARTIN SALAHLER Martin Salandei* has been either neglected or decried by most critics, and this mainly on the score of artistic weakness. Therefore, although this study Is primarily concerned with Martin Salander as a social and political document, it is necessary also to comment briefly upon first the critical opinion of Martin Salander and to turn then briefly to a literary evaluation of the novel itself* The Critical Opinion of Martin Salander In comparison with the extensive research devoted to most of Keller1 s works, his Martin Salander has received little more than passing notice from the critics. Keller himself was not satisfied with Salander. feeling that in the rush of publication it had died under his hands* He was tired and was often unable to meet the monthly deadlines for publication in the Rundschau; s/ as he wrote the editor, Julius Rodenberg, BIch arbeite eben nlcht raehr leicht und spflre das Alter. Deshalb habe ich auch das Gefuhl, dasa die Arbeit an diesen Romans ctwas long- welllg und trivial aussehe und Hire wohlwol- l/ Letter to J.V. Widmann, 25 August, 1886. Keller, G., lerke.

It was mis­ understood In Germany, and he did not think it worth the U translation Into English. Only the Swiss admitted that they were concerned with its message. The critics shared such opinions of Keller's about Martin Sal under. Robertson dismissed the novel in one sentence* "Finally, Martin Salander, a somewhat prosale and unimaginative novel of modern Swiss life, closes the series of his works In 1886*^ Von Klenze found Martin 3/ Salander.

A point of view which Keller did not anticipate is that which considers Martin Salander as the older Hein­ rich Lee. Kluge said Salander Mkann als cine Art Fort- 2/ setzung des giNtnen Heinrichs betraehtet warden,and Koenig made the statement: MDer Held Martin 1st ndmllch der grflne Hein­ rich in reiferem Mannesalter, wezm er aueh mit anderem Hamen und in anderem Gewande er- soheint und andere Ziele sich steekt als sein jugendlicher Yorgftnger. " The differences between the two novels, even as pointed out by Koenig himself, are so great as to make such a connection between Lee and Salander rather arbitrary. Recent criticism has had little to say about Martin Salander. There is a new school which maintains that Gotthelf overshadows Keller as a political novelist. This Is indeed a curious viewpoint and one which will, as Lange points out, "in the long run confuse the proper his* 4/ topical perspective.8 Keller surpasses Gotthelf in both political and historical breadth and in artistry. 1/ Weltbrecht, C., Deutsche LTteraturgoachlchte des 19.

    American Economic Review 2021, 111(2): 1–35 https://doi.org/10.1257/aer.20191137 Leadership in Social Movements: Evidence from the “Forty-Eighters” in the Civil War† By Christian Dippel and Stephan Heblich* This paper studies the role of leaders in the social movement against slavery that culminated in the US Civil War. Our analysis is orga- nized around a natural experiment: leaders of the failed German rev- olution of 1848–1849 were expelled to the United States and became antislavery campaigners who helped mobilize Union Army volun- teers. Towns where Forty-Eighters settled show two-thirds higher Union Army enlistments. Their influence worked through local newspapers and social clubs. Going beyond enlistment decisions, Forty-Eighters reduced their companies’ desertion rate during the war. In the long run, Forty-Eighter towns were more likely to form a local chapter of the NAACP. JEL D74, J15, J45, J61, N31, N41 ( ) Between 1861 and 1865, the United States’ North and South fought each other over the issue of slavery in the American Civil War. One in five adult men, 2.2 mil- lion in the North alone, took up arms to fight in the Union Army. Fighting was costly on both sides. In total, 620,000 men lost their lives, as many as in all other American wars combined Hacker 2011, Costa and Kahn 2003 . At the same time, the finan- ( ) cial incentives to fight in the war were low. Union Army privates earned about $13 per month, less than a farmhand Edmunds 1866 , and payment was irregular. In the ( ) South, there were stronger economic motives at least for some, since the war was about the survival of Southern institutions and property Hall, Huff, and Kuriwaki ( 2019 .

    S0451 Hecker, Friedrich (1811-1881) Papers, 1825-1987 81 Folders, 2 Oversize Boxes, 7 Microfilm Rolls MICROFILM This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. George S. Hecker of Clayton, Missouri, donated about 80% of the Friedrich Hecker Papers to the Western Historical Manuscript collection on 4 December 1985, on behalf of the entire Hecker family. The balance of the collection was transferred from the Missouri Historical Society on 13 October 1986. The personal papers kept by Friedrich Hecker at his death in 1881 appear to have been kept together until the death of his wife Josephine in 1916. The bulk of those papers remained in the farmhouse in Summerfield, Illinois, until the house was abandoned in the 1940s. Hecker's children collected newspaper memorial articles published at the time of Hecker's death, and some of his newspaper columns were gathered into scrapbooks on an irregular basis, but after World War I the knowledge of German in the family had declined to the point that much of the material could no longer be read except in translation. Some of the letters which appeared most valuable had been gathered together and bound by being glued to the stubs of pages of old books, and the larger documents were kept separate in large manila envelopes. Alice Hecker Reynolds (daughter of Alexander Hecker and Atlanta Preetorius Hecker) of Belmont, Massachusetts, took it upon herself to collect materials for a biographical study of Hecker from the 1930s to the early 1960s, but her death left the project uncompleted.

The Polish School of Medicine at the University of Edinburgh (1941-1949) A case study in the transnational history of Polish wartime migration to Great Britain Michał Adam Palacz Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2015 Abstract of Thesis More than 400 Polish medical refugees were associated with the Polish School of Medicine (PSM) at the University of Edinburgh between 1941 and 1949. This dissertation argues that the history of the PSM can fully be understood only as a part of the refugees’ broader experience of impelled or forced migration during and immediately after the Second World War. The key findings of this case study demonstrate that the opportunity to study or work at the PSM enabled the majority of Polish exiles to overcome, to a varying extent, their refugee predicament, while medical qualifications, transferable skills and trans-cultural competency obtained in wartime Britain allowed them to pursue professional and academic careers in different countries of post-war settlement, thus in turn contributing to a global circulation of medical knowledge and practice, especially between the University of Edinburgh and Poland.

    Leadership and Social Movements: the Forty-Eighters in the Civil War∗

    Leadership and Social Movements: The Forty-Eighters in the Civil War∗ Christian Dippely Stephan Heblichz May 24, 2020 Abstract This paper studies the role of leaders in the social movement against slavery that culminated in the U.S. Civil War. Our analysis is organized around a natural experiment: leaders of the failed German revolution of 1848{49 were expelled to the U.S. and became anti-slavery cam- paigners who helped mobilize Union Army volunteers. Towns where Forty-Eighters settled show two-thirds higher Union Army enlistments. Their influence worked thought local newspapers and social clubs. Going beyond enlistment decisions, Forty-Eighters reduced their companies' desertion rate during the war. In the long run, Forty-Eighter towns were more likely to form a local chapter of the NAACP. ∗We thank the editor and two referees for very helpful suggestions, as well as Daron Acemoglu, Sascha Becker, Toman Barsbai, Jean-Paul Carvalho, Dora Costa, James Feigenbaum, Raquel Fernandez, Paola Giuliano, Walter Kamphoefner, Michael Haines, Tarek Hassan, Saumitra Jha, Matthew Kahn, Naomi Lamoreaux, Gary Libecap, Zach Sauers, Jakob Schneebacher, Elisabeth Perlman, Nico Voigtl¨ander,John Wallis, Romain Wacziarg, Gavin Wright, Guo Xu, and seminar participants at UCLA, U Calgary, Bristol, the NBER DAE and POL meetings, the EHA meetings, and the UCI IMBS conference for valuable comments.

    The German Ancestors of Wilhelm Kühn

    The German Ancestors of Wilhelm Kühn (Compiled by Valerie Kuehn-Engstrom, his Great Granddaughter) The Kuehn Family Of Durmersheim, Baden, Germany The patriarch of our branch of the Kuehn family in the United States, William Kuehn, and his eldest son, Joseph Kuehn were born in the village of Durmersheim, in the district of Rastatt in the county of Baden of SW Germany. 1 Durmersheim is located between the cities of Karlsruhe and Rastatt in the valley of the Rhine River near the border of the Alsace region of France. The Hardtwald forest is 2 km east of the town, and the Black forest lies just beyond that and extends to the south. 8 When I began my search for information about the Kuehn family in 2001 very little information about William Kuehn was known. My father, Lloyd Kuehn, Sr., said that his father, Henry Kuehn, had told him that William was a cabinetmaker by trade. He thought that the family had come from Baden, Germany, but he was not certain. I had a hand written note from my father’s cousin, Marianne Churchill, documenting the family of William’s wife, Katharine Kuehn; but then my mother informed me that Katharine was William’s 2nd wife and only the stepmother of his children. My father’s sister, Dolores Miske, was able to add that William was Lutheran (a surprise to me!) and that his first wife was Rose Bloom, who passed away around 1896 in Chicago, Illinois. Chicago is a huge city, and one small family’s records are easily lost in the system.
