Of all the European immigrant groups, the Germans may have been the largest.

Utilizing a vast body of published and archival sources, many of them never before made accessible outside of Germany, Fogleman emphasizes the importance of German immigration to colonial America, the European context of the Germans' emigration, and the importance of networks to their success in America Aaron Spencer Fogleman is Professor of History at Northern Illinois University.
