German-American Forty-Eighters 1848-1998 by Don Heinrich Tolzmann; published 1998; 127 pp; paperback; ISBN: 1-880788-10-1; Item # IGH03

…the Forty-Eighters brought something like a wave of spring sunshine… They were mostly high-spirited young people, inspired by fresh ideas which they had failed to realize in the old world, but hoped to realize here; ready to enter upon any activity profitable but also to render life merry and beautiful; and, withal, full of enthusiasm for the great American Republic which was to be their home and the home of their children. Carl Schurz Reminiscences

Do you have a Forty-Eighter German Ancestor?

Many German people immigrated to the United States immediately following the failed revolution of 1848. This book is about those people, why the revolution took place, and what happened that caused the mass migration.
