Many settled in the Northeast, but some boarded trains and made their way west. Focusing on the cities of Fort Wayne, Indiana and St Louis, Missouri, Regina Donlon employs comparative and transnational methodologies in order to trace their journeys from arrival through their emergence as cultural, social and political forces in their communities. Drawing comparisons between large, industrial St Louis and small, established Fort Wayne and between the different communities which took root there, Donlon offers new insights into the factors which shaped their experiences--including the impact of city size on the preservation of ethnic identity, the contrasting concerns of the German and Irish Catholic churches and the roles of women as social innovators. This unique multi-ethnic approach illuminates overlooked dimensions of the immigrant experience in the American Midwest. 000940261 650_0 $$aHistory. 000940261 650_0 $$aWorld history. 000940261 650_0 $$aSocial history. 000940261 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xHistory. 000940261 651_0 $$aEurope, Central$$xHistory. 000940261 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory. 000940261 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319787374 000940261 852__ $$bebk 000940261 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-78738-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000940261 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:940261$$pGLOBAL_SET 000940261 980__ $$aEBOOK 000940261 980__ $$aBIB 000940261 982__ $$aEbook 000940261 983__ $$aOnline 000940261 994__ $$a92$$bISE
