"This bibliography attempts to record all monographs and almanacs printed in the German language between 1728 and 1830 in the territory of today's United States.... Newspapers have been excluded"--Intro.

"While Germans migrated to many areas of what are now the United States and Canada, this book focuses on the eighteenth-and early nineteenth-century Pennsylvania experience, most particularly those Pennsylvania German domestic furnishings, books, and manuscripts assembled by Henry Francis du Pont for several rooms in his home, Winterthur, in Delaware."--Introd.

The photographs are of localities principally in Berks County but with a few in Schuylkill and Montgomery Counties.
