Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago.

It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.

Autorenporträt
Joseph George Rosengarten (July 14, 1835 - January 14, 1921) was a Philadelphia lawyer, historian, and Civil War veteran. He witnessed John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry and served on the staff of General John F. Reynolds. An amateur historian, Rosengarten was particularly interested in the subject of French and German immigration to the United States, and the role played by French and German immigrants in the foundation of the country. He authored numerous articles on the subject and two books: The German Soldier in the Wars of the United States and French Colonists and Exiles in the United States. Few men had such a large circle of acquaintance; and having a rare gift for friendship, he continued to maintain association with many of those with whom he was thrown into contact either in Philadelphia or through his frequent trips abroad. He knew the Darwins, father and son; he came into close touch with eminent writers and scholars like F. Max Müller, Thomas Hughes, Goldwin Smith, Herbert Spencer, and Lord Bryce; he formed a friendship extending over many years with the de Rochambeau family and secured the passage of an act of Congress for the purchase of the letters of Washington to the Comte de Rochambeau. He knew the great trio of American literature, Longfellow, Emerson, and Lowell; he had met all the Presidents from Buchanan to Wilson and knew practically all the generals in the Civil War. Rosengarten was also involved in numerous philanthropic pursuits. He is buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia.
