Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Germans were among the largest groups of new immigrants to North America in the eighteenth century. Invaluable as a primary source from the period, Brave New World tells the story of the expedition of two men from the Rhineland to Pennsylvania in 1764. Edited by Dieter Pesch, this book is a translation of the journal that Johannes Herbergs kept as he and Peter Heinrich Strepers set out to reclaim a 5,000acre tract of land that had once belonged to Streperss grandfather.Herbergss journal was virtually unknown to historians until its appearance at an auction in 1997. The Rhine OpenAir Museum, which was already in the process of assembling an exhibition entitled Rhinelanders Conquer America, purchased the journal; scholars immediately recognized its importance. Not only does Herbergs document the two mens journey across the Atlantic, but he also offers many previously unknown details about the earliest German expedition to America, undertaken in 1683 by thirteen families from Krefeld.The centerpiece of Brave New World is Herbergss meticulous and fascinating narrative of the mens experiences as they traveled from Germany through western EuropeWe had been told so often, he wrote, that one had to be very careful in Londonand finally to Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Herbergs supplements his record of daily events with detailed lists of provisions and expenses, and Pesch provides valuable historical context by including several maps and nearly fifty paintings and engravings from the period.Johannes Herbergss journal is a key document in understanding the history not only of the Rhineland but also of the embryonic United States. Now, for the first time, it is available to American historians.
