During the antebellum period, New Orleans was the largest German colony below the Mason-Dixon line. Later settlements moved upriver between New Orleans and Donaldsonville, near Lecompte, and in North Louisiana near Minden. Germans of Louisiana is the first unified published study of the influence the German people made on the state of Louisiana and its inhabitants. Beginning with the French and Spanish colonial periods and working through the post-Civil War period, this book covers the heritage those German settlers left behind.

The purpose of this book is to determine the places of origin of the families recruited by John Law in 1720, and to re-examine the migration within the context of Louisiana and European history. The primary focus was on those fifty-eight families enumerated at the German villages in the 1724 census. The first section re-examines the German migration to Louisiana, while the second reports the results of the genealogical research that is arranged by family groups. The third section of the book contains translations of pertinent documents and additional research on the German Stein family.

German Americans were one of the largest immigrant groups in the Civil War era, and they comprised nearly 10 percent of all Union troops. Yet little attention has been paid to their daily lives--both on the battlefield and on the home front--during the war. This collection of letters, written by German immigrants to friends and family back home, provides a new angle to our understanding of the Civil War experience and challenges some long-held assumptions about the immigrant experience at this time. Originally published in Germany in 2002, this collection contains more than three hundred letters written by seventy-eight German immigrants--men and women, soldiers and civilians, from the North and South. Their missives tell of battles and boredom, privation and profiteering, motives for enlistment and desertion and for avoiding involvement altogether. Although written by people with a variety of backgrounds, these letters describe the conflict from a distinctly German standpoint, the editors argue, casting doubt on the claim that the Civil War was the great melting pot that eradicated ethnic antagonisms.

Everyone knows that Louisiana was settled by the French, but few consider the significant settlements of the Germans. The food of New Orleans and Louisiana was influenced by the German immigrants as well, and can be seen in foods like the various sausages of Louisiana, Creole mustard, and the re-emerging beer brewing industry.
