Germans make up the second largest ethnic group in the United States, second only to the English. Over the years, groups of Germans migrated in waves, the first wave coming during the colonial period. German influence and settlements spread from the colonies outward. Ohio’s German Heritage looks at the influence of German immigrants in the area that now comprises Ohio.
The book provided an historical brief on Germans in Ohio through the following five time periods:
- The colonial period, or time prior to the American Revolution
- The New Republic; until 1830
- The mass migration and settlement period; from 1831 to World War I
- The world wars period
- The ethnic period; the later 20th century
In addition to the history provided in each chapter, there is also a list of other readings and relevant materials the reader can choose to find and read on their own.
