INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.

Tn preparing the present volume, the main object has been to furnish an

array of various and, it is to be hoped, acceptable information on

the History of the German element in the United States. The very

brief statements crowded into the form of a chronological table, of

course, do not tell the whole story, they merely remind of events worth

recording, and should they arrest the attention of readers, so as to lead

them to further inquiry, they will have served a very good purpose.

The 400th anniversary of the landing of Columbus, which America

is about to celebrate, conjures up before our minds, visions and musings

of unusual interest. The veil which has shrouded the Western hemi-

sphere from the ken of the Eastern half of the globe is dropped, andin course of time the sea-faring and powerful nations of Europe take

possession of a new world. The track of Columbus is followed by

Latin, that of Sebastian Cabot by Teutonic races. Plow would the

world look now had the frail bark of the Genoese navigator been

wafted to the northern coast ? How much depended at the critical

moment on the current of air or the flight of birds coming from an

unseen land ? A southern breeze might have given North America to

Spaniards ; and what then ? A fertile theme for surmises and dreams

!

From a wilderness of speculation Ave seek refuge in the conviction,

that the course events have taken was ordained for the best of man-kind.

With the discovery and seizure of America, history enters upon a

new era. Human culture not only finds new fields to spread over, but

assumes new aspects and develops into forms of wonderful grandeur

and promise.

An energetic, restless, broad-minded race occupies the northern

portion of the continent, which becomes the seat of a republican empire

the like of which the world has never seen before ; an empire, stupen-

dous in expanse, blessed by bounteous Nature with every advantage she

can bestow, pledged to secure to all its inhabitants freedom, justice

and unrestricted pursuit of happiness ; a vast empire, Avith countless

resources, controlled by one nation and its indomitable will. Here

the overflow of Germany's population has for two hundred years found

congenial quarters. Among a people of kindred descent and similar

(6)

type, speaking a language which, historically, is a German dialect, in a

country that affords unequalled opportunities for the fulfillment of the

aims of life, the Germans feel more at home than in any other region

outside their own fatherland. In the various pursuits of life, they have in

friendly emulation with native inhabitants secured success and distinc-

tion, when merited as a reward of industry, skill, honesty and steady

habits. Appreciating the honor and recognizing the duties of citizen-

ship, they have in peace and war been loyal to their adopted country,

and contributed to its progress and welfare. In colonial times the de-

fense of the frontier against hostile Indians fell, in Pennsylvania, largely

to the rural population of German nativity or extraction. The Revolution

found the Germans eager partisans for independence and active com-

batants partly in batallions of their own, partly in the ranks of other

regiments. In the Mexican war, Germans fought shoulder to shoulder

with Americans, and when the great crisis of the Civil war arrived, the

German-Americans did more than their share in battling for the life

of the Union.

Loyalty to their adopted country and joyous acceptance of the

spirit of its institutions, do not imply indifference to their old father-

land nor suppression of national characteristics and time-honored

customs. Nor can the entrance of so many millions of Germans into

the body politic of the United States be looked upon as a mere procees

of absorption and assimilation to existing conditions. Wherever

present in sufficient numbers, they have left an impress which is noticed

approvingly, and they hope also hereafter to exert a salutary influence

on their environment. They are not a passive niass, but an element

throbbing with vitality. The United States is not exclusively of English

make or mould. The nation now forming will derive its distinctive

features from more than one source, to fulfill its grand destiny.

Looking back to the long line of years during which Germany has

contributed to America's growth and progress, the present generation

of Germans in the United States follow only a natural and proper im-

pulse in solemnly honoring the day which marks the beginning of

German immigration, the 6th of October, 1683, when the first column

of Germans, under the auspices and at the invitation of "William Penn,

arrived at Philadelphia. It was the charm of liberty, vouchsafed by

the benign founder of Pennsylvania, that induced them to seek refuge

in a " wilderness," and it is still liberty, in all its blessed manifestations,

that draws them to this land of promise.

Hon. Sam. W- Pennypacker.

HON. SAMUEL W. PENNYPACKER, LL.D.

Judge Pennypacker, born in Phcenixville, April 9, 1843, comes

of a family long identified with the history of Pennsylvania. His

father was a noted Philadelphia physician, his grandfather was a

member of Assembly and of the Constitutional Convention of 1837,

his great-grandfather was a Menuonite Bishop, and he is a descend-

ant of Hendrick Pannebecker, surveyor of lands for Penn, of

Abraham Op den Grffiff, Hendrick Seilen, Paulus Küster, Cornelius

Tyson, Peter Conrad, and others of the earliest settlers of Germantown.

.

He was admitted to the Philadelphia Bar, having graduated from the

law-office of Honorable Peter McCall, and from the University of

Pennsylvania in 1866, and was President of the Law Academy in

1868. He soon acquired a valuable practice. He is the author of

several law works, including four volumes of " Pennypacker's Supreme

Court Reports," a " Digest of the English Common Law Reports,"

" Pennsylvania Colonial Cases," and has aided in the preparation of

thirty volumes of the " Weekly Notes of Cases." He is a Trustee of

the University of Pennsylvania, and Vice-President of the Historical

Society of Pennsylvania.

He was appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas No. 2,

by Governor James A. Beaver, in 1889, and was subsequently elected

for a term of ten years, by a practically unanimous vote of the people,

having received the nomination from both of the dominant political

parties. He has given much time to the study of the history of the

Germans and " Pennsylvania Dutch," and has written a number of

books and pamphlets, and delivered addresses upon the subject. Hemade the address at the German Bicentennial Celebration, in 1883,

and at the dedication of the Schiller monument in Fairniount Park. Heis a member of the Canstatter Volksfest-Verein, of the Verwaltungsrath

of the Pionier-Verein, of the Archiv Committee of the Deutsche

Gesellschaft, and through his scholarly attainments and interest in

German literature and history has won the regard and esteem of the

Germans throughout the whole country.

JOHN D. LANKENAU,

Opposite to Girard College, far-famed as the most magnificent

orphanage of this country, if not of the world, towers another stately

pile of buildings, likewise devoted to humanitarian purposes, the Gervian

Hospital of Philadelphia and the 3Iary J. Drexel Home. Both institu-

tions are creditable to our City of Brotherly Love, thanks to the

munificent liberality of Mr. John D. Laukenau, whose name is fitly

coupled with that of Stephen Girard.

Our limited space will not permit us to enter into the history of

the German Hospital. The growth of this institution was slow until

Mr. John D. Lankenau was elected president in 1869, after the resig-

nation of Mr. J. M. Reichard. From that event dates its phenomenal

progress, chiefly due to the unbounded liberality and untiring zeal of its

president.

Mr. Johann Dietrich Lankenau, the son of an esteemed merchant

of Bremen, was born March 18, 1817. After having received an ex-

cellent education in the schools of his native city, he accepted, 1832,

a place in the house of Tiersch & Gerischer, who had succeeded the

firm of his father, Lankenau & Tiersch. At the expiration of three

years he was engaged by Mr. Wicht for his Philadelphia house. Wicht,

Werner & Co. On reaching Philadelphia, in September, 1836, he

immediately entered upon the duties of his new position. In 1840 Mr.

Wicht retired from the firm, and in 1845 the latter was reorganized

under the name of Wicht & Lankenau.

In 1846 Mr. Lankenau became acquainted with his future father-

in-law, Mr. Francis Martin Drexel, whose daughter, Mary Johanna

Drexel, he married October 9, 1848. This happy marriage bond lasted

nearly twenty-five years, until it w^as dissolved by the death of the be-

loved wife in May, 1878. Mr. F. M. Drexel lost his life, June 5, 1863,

in consequence of a railroad accident, and Mr. Lankenau was appointed

one of the executors of his will. As Mr. F. M. Drexel had been the

treasurer and one of the chief patrons of the German Hospital, it was

but natural that the friends of the latter selected Mr. Lankenau as the

representative of the Drexel family.

In January, 1869, Mr. Lankenau was elected President of the

German Hospital. This position he has occupied for nearly a quarter

of a century, and during that long time "his honest endeavor," to quote

his own modest words, " has been to fulfill his duties to the institution

and to his fellow-citizens." The rapid growth of the Hospital, since

he entered upon its presidency, the enlargement of the old building,

the erection of new edifices and annexes, the reconstruction of the en-

tire interior administration, especially by the introduction of deacon-

esses—all this has been essentially his work. In order to enlarge the

property on Girard and Corinthian Avenues he purchased the entire

lot of ground as far as Twenty-second Street, between Girard Avenueand Poplar Street. He built the new southern wing, the massive wall

and railing enclosing the entire hospital grounds, the new kitchen,,

boiler-house, laundry, stable, etc., and all this at his own expense. Andyet these spacious and well-appointed buildings represent only a portion-

of what My. Lankenau has done, and is continually doing, for the in-

stitution. He devotes to it his time, his means, his rich business expe-

rience, and, what is more, the self-forgetting and self-sacrificing love of

his warm philanthropical heart.

In 1877, four years after the death of his wife, Mr. Lankenau lost

his only son. This was a terrible blow to the loving father, who had

centered all his hopes on the highly-gifted young man. But a last

bitter affliction was in store for him, for in 1882 his daughter Elise,

who had been most tenderly attached to her brother and had never been

able to overcome her grief for his loss, succumbed to an insidious dis-

ease, leaving the aged father lonely and childless, but finding sweet

consolation in carrying out his charitable designs, to which he now

devoted himself with the utmost zeal and energy.

In concert with his daughter Mr. Lankenau planned the erection,

on the hospital grounds, of a home for worthy but indigent old persons.

Miss Elise Lankenau had entered with heart and soul upon this project,

but did not live to see its execution. In December, 1888, the Mary J.

Drexel Home—named after the deceased wife of the philanthropist

—

was solemnly dedicated, and in the short time of its existence it has

proved an institution of inestimable blessing.

DR. GOTTFRIED T. KELLNER.

Among the Germans in Philadelphia, Dr. G. T. Kellner has for

the last thirty-six years occupied a very prominent and influential

position, not only as editor-in-chief of the Philadelphia Demokrat, but

also as an active leader and eloquent speaker. In numerous societies

of which he has been a member and officer, he has done valuable

service in promoting progressive measures, and on hundreds of occa-

sions he has graced the rostrum with his impassioned eloquence. It is

due to his efforts as a writer and a speaker that the " German Day"has, since 1883, been accepted by his countrymen, not in Philadelphia

alone, but all over the United States, as a proper occasion for memorial

and festive demonstrations. A signal evidence of his popularity was

the celebration of his seventieth birthday, about three years ago, whenthe delegates of many societies and a host of friends gave him a most

enthusiastic reception, the more joyous as the honored guest had so

remarkably preserved the hearty vitality and genial spirit of his

younger days.

Dr. Kellner was born in Cassel, the capital of the Electorate

Hesse-Cassel, on August 27, 1819. Having absolved the Gymnasium of

that city, he applied himself to the study of law at the Universities of

Marburg and Heidelberg. After the publication of a book ("pro

venia legendi ") on the Doctrines of the Physiocratic School of National

Economy, he established himself, 1846, in Göttingen as "Privat-Docent."

The revolution of 1848, aimed against the misrule and oppression under

which Germany groaned, gave to his liberal political principles a new field

of action. Already before its outbreak he had poured out his political

wrath in a little volume of poetry, " Hessen-Lieder," which fearlessly

arraigned the Hessian princes for their misdoings, notably Friedrich II,

who sold his subjects to England for the war against America. Dr.

Kellner threw himself with the vigor of his impulsive nature into the

struggle for free institutions. Chosen president of the National Demo-

cratic League of Hesse and Nassau, he organized in this territory

political clubs, and as a member of the legislative body of Hesse he

advocated, 1849, the last resort of a downtrodden people, the withhold-

. . - • ^ (58)

ing of taxes. The paper edited by him, the Hornet, was, as its namemight indicate, pungently aggressive against the government. TheElector of Hesse, driven to the wall, as the military would not obey

his behests, left his land, but after a while returned backed by the

bayonets of Austrians and Bavarians. Now the reaction came into

full sway and resentfully struck at the leaders of the opposition

Dr. Kellner was cast into prison to await the sentence of the court-

martial before which he was placed. He did not wait though. Withthe aid of friends, among them the lady who has since been the faith-

ful companion of his life, he made his escape. After various adventures

and a detention in Antwerp, he arrived in New York in 1852. Herehe edited a paper called the Reform until 1856, when the publishers of

the Philadelphia Demokrat invited him to become its editor. This

position he has held to the present day, an honored and distinguished

veteran of the Philadelphia press. It is not the place here to dwell on

the recognized merits of Dr. Kellner as an editor, further than to note

the fact that the Philadelphia Demokrat, comparatively a small concern

at the period when he took hold of it, has under his control become one

of the great German papers of America, with a popularity not confined

within party lines, and with the prestige of an independent power.

FRANCIS DANIEL PASTORIUS.

PENNSYLVANIA'S FIRST POET.

BY O. SEIDENSTICKER.

The first poet on the soil of Pennsylvania was F. D. Pastorius.

Others have been brought forward as pioneer writers of verse, but none

of tliem was in the field as early as Pastorius. This distinguished manarrived at Philadelphia on the 20th of August, 1683, then thirty-two

years of age, and remarkable for the wide range of his scholarship.

Always a close student, he had garnered rich stores of knowledge at

four or five universities and by extensive travel. As to his writing verse

we may be tolerably sure that he indulged in it before he came to

Pennsylvania. Who has ever heard of a poet that got his first " fits

o' rhyme " after completing his thirtieth year ? At all events, Pas-

torius had not been long in Philadelphia when he turned out a neat

Latin hexameter verse. Over the door of his temporary little house,

in Philadelphia (15 x 30 feet), he wrote the inscription : Parva domus,

sed arnica bonis, procul este profani. William Penn, noticing the line,

when he visited Pastorius, heartily laughed.

In the matter of language, Pastorius' muse was quite accommo-

dating. While the bulk of his verses were written in English, he also

used his native German, his thoroughly acquired Latin, and occasion-

ally Italian, French and Dutch. But he had no ambition to rank as

a pjet ; he looked upon rhythmical efiusions as a mere diversion—an

excusable pastime. The very titles that he gave to his collections are

self-depreciative and ironical, e. g.," A Hotch-potch of Rhythmical

Whimsies," "Poetical Raptures;" "Semel insanivimus omnes, oder:

Poetische Eintälle,"

It may be admitted that his versified utterances, neither in form

nor substance, come up to a high standard of excellence; they cer-

tainly do not suggest " the poet's eye in a fine frenzy rolling," but they

are, to say the least, on a level with other colonial lyrics. His poetical

meditations bring us face to face with an earnest mind, thoughtfully

discoursing on important questions of life and conduct. His " Delicise

Hortenses " or " Garden Recreations," and other pieces of the descrip-

tive kind, afford a pleasant glance at the philosopher's rural occupa-

tions and delights. They also betray, here and there, a vein of sport-

iveness and humor, that stands in happy relief to the sober hue which

overspreads the moralizing and reflective products of his muse.

The larger part of Pastorius' numerous manuscripts appears to

have been scattered and lost—what a pity !—but most of his poetry he

fortunately transcribed in that ponderous receptacle of his lore, the

" Bee-hive," which his descendants have kept as a precious heirloom.

A little quarto volume, in his own handwriting, containing " GardenRecreations " and " Voluptates Apianse," i. e., pleasures derived from

his bees and honey-making, is in the possession of the German Society

—

a gift of Mrs. Lämmel. From this has been selected the photo-

gravured specimen in the present volume. It shows how readily he

glided from one language into another, and refers to a fact that is not

without interest. Christopher Witt, who in " Watson's Annals of Phil-

adelphia," figures as a sort of Magus, was Pastorius' neighbor. Whenhe removed his flower-beds close to the fence which divided the re

spective properties, Pastorius Avas so much pleased, that he commemo-rates this act of kindness in three languages. For convenience the

poem is here given in print

:

Wlien afio 1711 Christopher Witt removed his Flower-Beds close to ray Fence.

And so may'st thou some hours

With mine go make more bold.

ALIQUID BONI PROPTER VICimjM BONTTBI.-

Tliis maxim was forever known:All men are Kings upon their own.

64

Pastorius, the writer of the famous anti-slavery protest of 1688,

looked upon human serfdom and also on money-greed with utter de-

testation. He expresses his sentiments on this score more forcibly

than elegantly, in the following lines

:

If in Christ's doctrine we abide,

Tlien God is surely on our side

;

But if Christ's precepts we transgress,

Negroes by slavery oppress.

And white ones grieve by usury,

(Two evils which to Heaven cry).

We 've neither God nor Christ, his Son,

But straightways travel Hellwards on.

An epitaph dedicated to the memory of his dear friend, GriflBth

Owen, begins:What here of Griffith Owen lies,

Is only what of all men dies :

His soul and spirit live above

With God in pure and perfect Love.

In a poetical epistle, addressed to Rachel Preston, Hannah Hill

and Mary Norris, the daughters of Thomas Lloyd, who was Pastorius'

fellow-passenger on the journey to Philadelphia, he alludes to the fact

that he could not converse with the rest of the Welshmen, and

continues

:

" Alone with him I could in Latin then commune.

Which tongue he did pronounce right in our German way,

Hence presently we knew what he and I could say.

'T was he and William Penn that caused me to stay

In this then uncouth land and howling wilderness.

Wherein I saw that I but little should possess."

The collections in the "Bee-hive " include a thousand or more epi-

grammatic couplets, strung together in alphabets, according to the

first letter of the first word in each. Only a few specimens can be

selected here

:

Thou canst not climb the clouds, but still aspire

And climb, if not in deed, by good desire.

My friend shall have my head, my heart, my hand,

But not my liberty at his command.

O, most unhappy time that we live in I

For men not only love but plead for sin.

65

When fortune frowns upon a man,

A friend does more than money can.

Too many laugh and quaff and roar and rant,

Till want of sense brings them to sense of want.

Those now on top ere long may feel

The circling motion of the wheel.

The light within doth keep from sin.

Young and lazy, old and crazy.

One of his Latin poems, rhyming like the mediseval Latin hymns,

is printed in "Pastorius' Description of Pennsylvania" (Leipzig and

Frankfurt, 1700). The first four lines read :

Vale mundi gemebundi colorata gloria,

Tua bona, tua dona sperno transitoria;

Quae externe hodierne splendent pulchra facie,

Cras vanescunt et liquescunt velut sal in glacie.

(World of troubles, world of bubbles, brightly-colored world, farewell}

All thy treasures, all thy pleasures are a short, delusive spell;

Thinly-shaded, quickly faded is the beauty of thy face

;

Like a taper, burnt to vapor, leaving hardly any trace.)

We close with some German lines, referring to his garden and

orchard

THE FIRST GERMAN IN AMERICA.

BY C. T. EBEN.

The first German who trod the soil of the New World was Tyrker.

He came with the hardy and bold Norse navigators who, nearly five

hundred years before Columbus' discovery, landed on the coast of what

is now called New England. According to some, Tyrker was a na-

tive of Bremen ; others with better right, it would appear, fix his birth-

place among the vine-clad hills of the Rhine. Of his history little

is known. He made his stay with Eirek Kauda (Erik the Red) in

Iceland, and accompanied the venturesome Norsemen to Greenland,

A.D. 986. To Erik's son, Leif the Lucky, he became much attached

;

he was his teacher and guardian, and accompanied him on an expedi-

tion which skirted the coast of the new continent from New Found-

land to Rhode Island. It is supposed that Leif entered Narragansett

Bay, and after disembarking near Mount Hope, built huts (Leifsbudir)

for winter-quarters (1000 A.D.). This was the scene of the incident

which brings Tyrker's name to the fore. The old Iceland chronicles

or sagas relate it as follows :

*

It happened one evening that a man of the party was missing,

and this was Tyrker, the German. This took Leif much to heart, for

Tyrker had been long with his father and him, and loved Leif muchin his childhood. Leif now took his people severely to task and pre-

pared to seek for Tyrker, and took twelve men with him. But when

they had gotten a short way from the house, there came Tyrker to-

wards them, and was joyously received. Leif soon saw that his foster-

father was not in his right senses. Tyrker had a high forehead and

unsteady eyes, was freckled in the face, small and mean in stature,

but excellent in all kinds of artifice. Then said Leif to him, " "Why

wert thou so late, my fosterer, and separated from our party ?" Henow spoke first, for a long time, in German, and rolled his eyes about

to different sides and twisted his mouth ; but they did not understand

what he said. After a time he spoke Norsk :" I have not been much

* The translation used here is found in Rev. E. F. Slafter's " Voyages of the Northmen to

America." The manuscript of the original was written in the twelfth century; the main fact is

already alluded to in Adam von Bremen's " Ecclesiastical History," written in the eleventh cent-

ury, of which a notice will be found on a following page.

further off, but still have I something new to tell of; I have found

vines and grapes." " But is that true, my fosterer ?" quoth Leif.

" Surely, it is true," replied he, *' for I was bred up in a land wherethere is no want of either vines or grapes." When spring came, they

got ready and sailed away ; and Leif gave the land a name after its

qualities, and called it Vinland.

Tyrker's words :" I was bred up in a land where there is no want

of either vines or grapes," seem to furnish presumptive evidence that

he was well acquainted with the Rhenish country, if he had not been

born there. Nothing is known of the subsequent fortunes of this first

German on American soil ; nor can it be ascertained when and wherehe died.

THE FIRST HISTORY OF THE NORSEDISCOVERY OF AMERICA.

BY C. T. EBEN.

The first history of the Norse discovery of America was the workof a German—Adam of Bremen. The discoveries made by the Norse-

men in Iceland and Greenland must have become known at a very early

time in Denmark and Northern Germany, as appears from the writings

of that eminent historian. The old Hanseatic city, Bremen, was at

that time called the " Rome of the North," for its Episcopal See held

sway over Denmark, Sweden and Norway, Iceland and Greenland.

Adam of Bremen, the earliest historian of that bishopric, devoted in

his Church history especial attention to everything that related to the

Norsemen, even to their worldly affairs. He wrote his famous workabout fifty years after Thorfinn's return from Vinland, adding to it a" Description of Denmark and the Regions beyond Denmark."

In the thirty-ninth chapter of this description he refers to an in-

terview which he had with King Sueno, of Denmark, who told him of

many islands discovered in the northwest, mentioning especially an is-

land called Vinland (Rhode Island or Nova Scotia?) where grapes

and vines of an excellent quality grew wild.

Adam of Bremen finished his work, " Historia Ecclesiastica,"

soon after 1050. Several copies of it existed in 1073, and were prob-

ably read by many scholars of that period. We may, therefore, truth-

fully say, that the discovery of America had been made known to the

world by a German as early as A. D. 1073, and that it was this same

Adam of Bremen who first gave to the reading public a brief descrip-

tion of New England.

The German immigration during this period of seventy years,

exceeds that from Ireland by more than a million, and that from Eng-

land by more than two millions.

The number of immigrants from Germany, now in the United

States, is about two millions, and of their children born here, about

three millions. The descendants of all former German immigrants

having arrived since 1683, may run up to about five millions, making

altogether about ten millions of Germans and persons of German stock

in the United States.

OUR display of Furniture this Autumn, which will be even more attractive

than usual, embraces tlie very latest and best designs in Louis XV,Louis XVI, and Empire Work.

The good taste and richness of our stock is due to the careful selection of themost correct and beautiful patterns, thus saving our customers both time andtrouble by showing only the very berst of everything.

It will cost you no more for the goods thus selected, as we combine good taste

and correct style with moderate prices.

Our Upholstery Department continues to be the best in the city, and we in-

tend to maintain the excellent standard which has won for us the confidence ofthe public.

We have found it necessary to add a Frescoing Department to our business,

and have also established an agency for the furnishing of the finest proiuctions in

Stained Glass. With these increased facilities, we are now prepared to takeorders for Interior Wood-work, Frescoing, Decorating and Stained Glass, andalso for the complete Furniture and Draperies for Residences and Clubs.

The great benefit which arises from our undertaking these various branchesis readily perceived. We are thus enabled to finish and furnish the whole housewith perfect harmony and good taste.

We hope you will favor us with a visit early this season, before the first

choice of our stock has been purchased. We can assure you that any orders withwhich you may favor us will receive the prompt attention and careful executionwhich has established our reputation.
