The Pennsylvania Germans were people from Germany, Prussia, Austrian-Hungary Empire, Switzerland, and other areas of Europe, who all spoke a variation
of the German Language.
Collectively the Pennsylvania Germans were referred to as the Pennsylvania Dutch. To some degree this maybe because Deutsch sounds like Dutch to English speakers.

- Hopeful Journeys: German Immigration, Settlement, and Political Culture
in Colonial America, 1717-1775
~Usually Ships Within 24 Hours
- -Aaron Fogleman /
Presents new research to help in understanding some characteristics of the German migration to the new world during the 1700's.
His language is somewhat stilted, or others might describe it as scholarly, somewhat like a graduate school thesis. But there is lots of good information
between it's covers. One of the most interesting themes in the book is tracking the immigrants from one particular region located between Heidelberg and
Heilbronn, along the Neckar River. This detailed information helps one to see exactly what was involved in the decision to go to the New World, in the trip
getting there, and in beginning a new life in Pennsylvania. The author also treats the German political scene in colonial Pennsylvania.
The book is heavily foot-noted, with an extensive bibliography and index. A good source book for further studies of the Pennsylvania Dutch culture.

- Language and History in the Early Germanic World
~Usually Ships Within 24 Hours
- -D. H. Green / Paperback 460 pages / Published August 2000
This book offers a distinctive and accessible approach to the earliest encounters of the barbarian societies of Northern Europe
with classical antiquity and with early Christianity. It brings together linguistic evidence from across Europe and dating from before
Caesar to about 900 AD, to shed light on important aspects of Germanic culture. It shows how historical phonology and semantics, often
avoided by nonspecialists, can provide important clues for historians and archaeologists of the period. Likewise, it demonstrates that
philologists and linguists ignore historical evidence at their peril.
The purpose of this book is to use our knowledge of the early Germanic languages to fill in gaps in our knowledge of the history and
culture of the peoples who spoke them. The book provides a great deal of information, organized by divisions of culture, such as
warfare and religion. the author presupposes a bit more knowledge of the Germanic languages and of Latin than most readers are likely
to have. This will from time to time make a point difficult to follow.
