I bought it because I was doing some genealogy research on my family; one branch of the tree comes from this region of Germany. It turns out that our roots transplanted well and grew deep in New York State.I am reading this book slowly because it is a bit dry but I pick it up and slowly learn some more about these "poor Palatines." What I like about it is that his research is meticulous.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This Book Fills A Big GapBy Carolyn StewartI have been searching all over the web for English information about the original immigrants from the German areas of Europe. This book certainly opened up a treasure of information on the mindset of these people and their determination to achieve their goal. I found this book VERY readable and appreciated the emotional aspects of this time and people as well. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has even a casual interest in history. It is EXCELLENT!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This is an ongoing review. So far this has ...By Old movie fanThis is an ongoing review. So far this has been a marvelous overview of the Palatine migration to New York State. About 20 years ago I made a short visit to the Palatine village in Germany where my Palatine ancestor lived before coming to colonial New York. It describes not only the situation in the Palatine but all of the history including English history and politics of the time. The migration was full of delays and detours.
