Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Literary Activity of the German Baptist Brethren in the Eighteenth Century
The closing years of the nineteenth and the opening of the twentieth centuries witnessed the birth of a deep and widespread interest in the early history of the Germans who came to Pennsylvania in the first days of that great Commonwealth. The subject has grown in interest, as the records of the past brought to light the doings of these sturdy, conscientious, pious sons of the Fatherland, until today every new phase of the subject is anxiously waited for and warmly welcomed by all who take an interest in our beginnings in our country. Pennsylvania Dutch, once used as a term of ridicule, has become a topic of the most absorbing interest to all who are inclined to look into the history of the past.
