German and Irish Immigrants in the Midwestern United States, ... by Regina Donlon

This unique multi-ethnic approach illuminates overlooked dimensions of the immigrant experience in the American Midwest. Many settled in the Northeast, but some boarded trains and made their way west. Drawing comparisons between large, industrial St Louis and small, established Fort Wayne and between the different communities which took root there, Donlon offers new insights into the factors which shaped their experiences-including the impact of city size on the preservation of ethnic identity, the contrasting concerns of the German and Irish Catholic churches and the roles of women as social innovators.
