Americans from Germany; by Gerard Wilk; published 1976; reprinted 1995; XII+83 pp; paperback; ISBN: 1-880788-06-3; Item # IGH05
Gerard Wilk’s biographical sketches were first published in 1976 and reissued in 1987. His selection and the format he chose proved to be exceptionally useful both for instructional purposes and general information on prominent German-Americans who left their mark in the annals of American history.
The booklet was a little birthday gift to the nation’s Bicentennial. Despite numerous publications in the field of German-American Studies since 1976, Wilk’s representative and handy biographical volume has never been replaced.
