The second volume of German Immigrants provides information on about 35,000 German immigrants from Bremen who arrived in New York from 1855 to 1862. The names are arranged alphabetically, and family members are grouped together, usually under the head of the household.

This dark-fiction anthology is a wild ride from obscure battlefields to haunted houses, from 35,000 feet up on a nightmarish hell ride to battling demonic twins to the star-filled cosmos and beyond.
The mythmakers of US expansion have expressed “manifest destiny” in many different ways—and so have its many discontents.
