To the memory of the late (Earl ^rlutrz who, a steadfast and loyal American, remained true to German ideals, and devoted his life to the betterment of his adopted country, never forget- ting or belittling the gifts he had received from the land of his birth, this utnrk is iirMratrii COPYRIGHT, 1908, BY F. T. & J. C. SMILEY NEW YORK CITY — INTRODUCTION THIS work is intended to be a record of all that Germans have accomplished in the United States a record of honest endeavor, energy, perseverance, strength and achievement. It shall, in addition, show the part that the American citizen of German blood has taken in the making of these United States, in peace and war, on the battlefield as well as in the counting house, the workshop and laboratory, in the realm of science and education or in the long fight that was neces- sary to extend civilization and culture over a continent. It contains a history of German immigration in the United States from the first settlements to the present day, showing what the Germans were who left the fatherland, why they came, and what they did in their new country. Every incident throwing light upon the work done by the German element has been made use of to give a complete, though concise, and impartial re- cital of its activity, and a description of the influence it has exerted upon the development of the Union.

Das Projekt I. Der Anstoß Dirk Kurbjuweit, stellvertretender Chefredakteur des Nachrichtenmagazins „Der Spiegel“, hatte vorgeschlagen, vor dem im Wiederaufbau befindlichen Berliner Stadtschloss ein Denkmal für Forty-Eighters zu errichten („Der Spiegel“ Nr. 14/2.4.2016, S. 123). Damit ist er auf große Zustimmung gestoßen („Der Spiegel“ Nr. 17/23.4. 2016, S. 115 http://www.moin-moin.us/#!German-Secretary-of-State- Steinmeier-Supports-DER-SPIEGELs-48ers-Monument- Proposal/cjds/572f83ef0cf222003e9e0ffc ), worüber auch „The Guardian“ in der Ausgabe vom 30. April 2016 berichtete: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/apr/30/germany-special-relationship-us- obama-carl-schurz-brexit Der damalige Bundesaußenminister Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier schrieb: „Im historischen Gedächtnis vieler Menschen haben die Amerikaner, unterstützt von den Briten und Franzosen, 1945 die Demokratie nach Deutschland gebracht. Dabei gab es aber schon vor 1933 eine parlamentarische Erfahrungsbasis, die von den Akteuren 1848 hart erkämpft wurde. Vor allem das Wirken deutscher Revolutionäre wie Carl Schurz, Friedrich Hecker, Gustav Struve und Franz Sigel in Amerika ist hier weitestgehend unbekannt. Deshalb ist das Denkmal für die sogenannten Forty- Eighters eine große Chance an die wechselseitige Einflussnahme beim Aufbau stabiler Demokratien auf beiden Seiten des Ozeans zu erinnern.“ Der damalige Chef des Bundespräsidialamtes, David Gill, schrieb mir: „Es liegt dem Bundespräsidenten sehr am Herzen, das Bewusstsein für die gemeinsame Freiheits- und Demokratietradition der USA und Deutschlands aufrechtzuerhalten.“ Weiter bekundeten Sympathie für das Projekt u.a.

Parker, Carr Bowers, Samuel B. Hines, and Orris A. Browne, esqr’s., are acting Justices of the Peace, in and for the County aforesaid, and were members of the Court which convened at Jerusalem, on Saturday, the 5th day of November, 1831, for the trial of Nat, alias Nat Turner, a negro slave, late the property of Putnam Moore, deceased, who was tried and convicted, as an insurgent in the late insurrection in the county of Southampton aforesaid, and that full faith and credit are due, and ought to be given to their acts as Justices of the peace aforesaid. —James Rochelle, C.S.C.C. (1831) The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the ‘disenchantment of the world’ . From this we want to draw the lesson that nothing is gained by yearning and tarrying alone, and we shall act differently. We shall set to work and meet the ‘demands of the day,’ in human relations as well as in our vocation. This, however, is plain and simple, if each finds and obeys the demon who holds the fibers of his very life. —Max Weber (1918) Schuld (consider the demonic ambiguity of this word). —Walter Benjamin (1921) * Chancellor’s Professor of Law, University of California, Irvine School of Law.

  • The Antietam Manuscript of Ezra Ayres Carman
    General Ezra Ayres Carman The Antietam Manuscript of Ezra Ayres Carman "Ezra Ayres Carman was Lt. Colonel of the 7th Regiment of New Jersey Volunteers during the Civil War. He volunteered at Newark, NJ on 3 Sept 1861, and was honorably discharged at Newark on 8 Jul 1862 (This discharge was to accommodate his taking command of another Regiment). Wounded in the line of duty at Williamsburg, Virginia on 5 May 1862 by a gunshot wound to his right arm in action. He also served as Colonel of the 13th Regiment of New Jersey Volunteers from 5 August 1862 to 5 June 1865. He was later promoted to the rank of Brigadier General." "Ezra Ayes Carman was Chief Clerk of the United States Department of Agriculture from 1877 to 1885. He served on the Antietam Battlefield Board from 1894 to 1898 and he is acknowledged as probably the leading authority on that battle . In 1905 he was appointed chairman of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park Commission." "The latest Civil War computer game from Firaxis is Sid Meier's "Antietam". More significant is the inclusion of the previously unpublished manuscript of Ezra Carman, the commanding officer of the 13th New Jersey Volunteers during the battle of Antietam. His 1800-page handwritten account of the battle has sat in the National Archives since it was penned and its release is of interest to people other than gamers." "As an added bonus, the game includes the previously unpublished Civil War manuscript of Ezra Carman, the commanding officer of the 13th New Jersey Volunteers.
