Early Nineteenth-century German Settlers in Ohio (mainly Cincinnati and Environs), Kentucky, and Other States
Germany immigration authority, Clifford Neal Smith spent a number of years ferreting out surrogate passenger information from the periodical literature. In one instance, Mr. Smith transcribed the genealogical contents, published between 1869 and 1877, of Volumes 1 through 9 of Der Deutsche Pioniere, a monthly magazine issued by the Deutsche Pioniereverein (Union of German Pioneers) founded in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Smith provides the following particulars on each German-American pioneer found in that periodical: name, place of origin in Germany, town or county of residence, reference to the original source, and biographical data provided in the original notice. While most of the early entries pertain to Germanic inhabitants of Ohio, later issues of Der Deutsche Pioniere refer to deceased persons living in Kentucky and neighboring states.

Throughout history, gemstones have been embedded with meaning and were even regarded as magical objects; this made them a truly valued material. Their crystal-like forms shaped modern art and have recently been rediscovered by artists. This publication runs the gamut from stone-cutting in the early modern age to current gemstone art, featuring alongside art historically important works the diversity of contemporary approaches.

Jakob Bengel, Oberstein
* With hithero unpublished works from the legendary Bengel factory * Celebrating 150 years of Bengel jewelry from Idar-Oberstein* New insights into the authorship of Bengel designsThe discovery of the Oberstein company Jakob Bengel as a prominent jewelry manufacturer has liberated Oberstein from the stigma of being the "underdog" of the German jewelry industry. Wilhelm Lindemann and Christianne Weber-Stöber document in this current study its independent contribution to the evolution of early German jewelry design between 1910 and 1933 using Bengel as an example. Highlights from the collection of Drs. Margarete and Heribert Händel, hitherto unpublished pieces of Bengel jewelry, and contemporary designs attest to the exceptional level of production as part of the reformist ideas of the Deutscher Werkbund, the German Schools of Art and Crafts, and the Bauhaus. With this book, the industrial monument Historische Uhrketten und Bijouteriewarenfabrik Jakob Bengel, Idar-Oberstein together with the Jakob Bengal Foundation marks the factory's 150-year anniversary. Text in English and German.
