Monica Clyde
will present:
German Pioneers in the Bay Area:
Why they came and what they contributed! The defeat of the liberal democratic movement in Germany in 1848-1849 led to a wave of emigration. Some went, or fled, to Switzerland, some to England, but the majority left for the United States. California, with its lure of gold, wide open spaces and opportunities, attracted a sizeable number. How they dealt with the challenge of building a new life in California and what they contributed to the emerging civil society will be the subject of this work-in-progress. Contact Monica Clyde for details. |
