The German and Swiss Settlements of Colonial Pennsylvania: A Study of the So-Called Pennsylvania DutchThis is an excellent history of the German settlement of Pennsylvania down to the Revolutionary War. It begins with a review of the situation in Europe in the 1700s which prompted much of the emigration and concludes with the role of these people and their descendants in America to the present century.
