Book Synopsis Faith and Family by : Robert P. Swierenga
Book excerpt: Swierenga (research professor, A.C. Van Raalte Institute for Historical Studies) presents an account of Dutch immigration to the United States, and the effects it had on American politics and social life, especially in New York, Chicago, Cleveland, and rural Indiana. Using a wide range of sources including emigration records, US customs passenger lists, and US census data, Swierenga offers a picture of their life and culture, with special attention to family structure, religion, and working life.
