Considered the definitive history of the involvement of GermanAmericans in the American Revolution, this work was originally published in 1908 and has long been out of print. It focuses on Pennsylvania and surrounding colonies, where the colonial German element was concentrated, and contains extensive biographical information of value to genealogists and historians. Although only about ten percent of the U.S. population were GermanAmericans, they overwhelmingly supported the Revolution. In 1776, Congress raised a GermanAmerican regiment which fought in many battles and spent the winter of 177778 at Valley Forge with General George Washington, whose personal bodyguard was a GermanAmerican unit. It is said that the American troops were German trained, fed, and led, as Baron von Steuben served as inspectorgeneral, Christopher Ludwig as superintendent of baking, and Heinrich Lutterloh as quartermastergeneral. Of General Nicholas Herkimer, commander of several GermanAmerican battalions from New York, General Washington wrote, 'It was Herkimer who first reversed the gloomy scenehe served from love of country, not for reward.'
