A book detailing the root causes
of German emigration between
1816 and 1885, including the Hessian states, is heavy reading, but should
help anyone interested in this subject to understand the events of the time
which
drove the migration. The title is:
Germany and the Emigration 1816 - 1885

"Colonists For Sale," by Alderman. Published by
Macmillian, New York, ISBN 0-02-700 220-9
There are some awesome descriptions of Germans finding their way
to a port of debarcation and on to "The New World." Incredible hardships
and lots of inhumane treatment for a weary folk as they left, and repeated
upon their arrival. I couldn't put it down.
