Book Synopsis
German Heritage Explorations by Don Heinrich Tolzmann takes you on a journey through German-American history based on his travels and research exploring German immigration, settlement and influences.
From the Foreword: “The range of topics is extensive, though all related to the German-American experience, of which Don Heinrich is one of the leading experts…The subjects treated begin in colonial times and lead to the present, and include examination of the challenges presented to German-Americans in the country’s various wars, from the Revolutionary War to World War Two. While there is a wide geographical net cast, the concentration is on Cincinnati where the author has spent the majority of his long academic career, and where much that is of significance in the lives of German immigrants and their progeny transpired.” - Dr. Giles R. Hoyt, Director Emeritus, Indiana University-Purdue University, Max Kade German-American Center
