German 2510 Guide to Resources: The Cultural History of Germans in Missouri

A unique panoramic survey of ethnic groups throughout the United States that explores the diverse communities in every region, state, and big city.

A broad encyclopedia of American history, including illustrations, maps, primary sources.

The Encyclopedia of Local History addresses nearly every aspect of local history, including everyday issues, theoretical approaches, and trends in the field. There is an entry for each state and for various ethnic and religious groups. It points to core resources to pursue each topic further.

Contains 152 original essays on specific minority and ethnic groups in the United States, with an emphasis on culture (religions, holidays, customs, language) in addition to information on historical background and settlement patterns.

Published in 1980, so a bit dated, but of possible interest for historical perspective.

Covering all periods as well as all regions of the state, this remarkable volume illustrates the state's cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity. Although the men and women chosen for inclusion in this book came from many walks of life, all of them were either born in Missouri or through their lives touched the state in a significant way.
