German New York City celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the hundreds of thousands of German immigrants who left the poverty and turmoil of 19th- and 20th-century Europe for the promise of a better life in the bustling American metropolis. German immigration to New York peaked during the 1850s and again during the 1880s; and by the end of the 19th century New York had the third-largest German-born population of any city worldwide. German immigrants established their new community in a downtown Manhattan neighborhood that became known as Kleindeutschland or Little Germany. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries; much of the German population moved north to the Upper East Sidersquo;s Yorkville and subsequently spread out to the other boroughs of the city.

The Akron railroad enthusiasts did a great job of preserving information. and this book fills in a lot of gaps in the information base. I was already familiar with Cleveland. Ravenna and Warren. Ohio. (Erie-Lackawanna and BO) but didnt spend much time in Akron. If this is of interest to you. you are unlikely to find anything better.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
