The German-American
Experience by Don Heinrich Tolzmann
Germans began settling in
what is now the United States in 1608 when eight German carpenters
and glassmakers settled in Jamestown, Virginia. During the Revolutionary
War, Hessian soldiers fought against the Americans; many who
were captured decided to stay in this country and gave us many
of their holiday traditions from the Christmas tree to Groundhog
Day. German immigrants fought on both sides during the Civil
War, with special German regiments from Pennsylvania. Representing
one fourth of the U.S. population--over 60 million people, Germans
are the largest ethnic group in the country. This is a good read
and a comprehensive history of Germans in the U.S. An ideal gift
for a grandchild to appreciate their cultural heritage.

A Cartoon of the
District of Columbia Flashbacks
Volume One Patrick M.
Reynolds brings history
to life with a sense of humor. His exciting drawings put you
on the scene with the conflicts, madness, plus the wheeling and
dealing that resulted in the location and construction of the
U.S. capital city. This book covers the early history of DC from
1776 to 1863. You'll be surprised at how many cities served as
the U.S. capital; you'll be amazed that the city was built--despite
all the bickering, petty jealousies, and down-right stupidity.
11¾" x 7½" 106 pages, full color illustrations,
