Excerpt from The Saga of Walther of Aquitaine In reproducing such a great variety of texts it has been necessary, in some cases, to make typographical substitutions, particularly in the Polish texts. The author, therefore, begs the indulgence of those whose eye may be offended by the liberty taken with the customary Polish characters, which could not be obtained at the time (cf.

( About the Book The Americas were settled by people migr...)
About the Book The Americas were settled by people migrating from Asia at the height of an Ice Age 15,000 years ago. There was no contact with Europeans until Vikings appeared briefly in the 10th century, and the voyages of Christopher Columbus from 1492. America's Indigenous peoples were the Paleo-Indians, who were initially hunter-gatherers. Post 1492, Spanish, Portuguese and later English, French and Dutch colonialists arrived, conquering and settling the discovered lands over three centuries, from the early 16th to the early 19th centuries. The United States achieved independence from England in 1776, while Brazil and the larger Hispanic American nations declared independence in the 19th century. Canada became a federal dominion in 1867. Also in this Book United States history began with the migrations of Indigenous people prior to 15,000 BC. Christopher Columbus's 1492 expedition enabled European colonization, with most colonies formed after 1600. By the 1770s, 13 British colonies held 2.5 million people along the Atlantic coast east of the Appalachians. The British government imposed new taxes after 1765 and would not agree to the colonists having a say in their determination. The American War of Independence, 1775–1783, ensued, resulting in independence, and another war was declared against Britain in 1812. The next 50 years saw the expansion of American states and territories through the west, however growth was curtailed by the costly American Civil War, which broke out in 1861 over the Confederate States' wish to continue the practice of slavery, and the Union's wish to preserve the union. By 1865 some 620,000 people died, making it the most costly in US history. Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867. The next decades up to World War 1 saw large migrations from Europe and massive growth in the US economy. The US had a short but decisive influence on World War 1, suffered during the Great Depression, and had an even greater decisive influence on the outcome of World War 2. The US then engaged in a Cold War with its military and ideological adversary, the USSR, which disintegrated in 1991. Over the 20th century the US was not just a dynamo of technological advancement, but also contributed greatly to world growth.

Marion Dexter Learned was born near Dover, Delaware, United States, the son of Hervey Dexter and Mary Elizabeth (Griffith) Learned. He was descended from William Learned, who was admitted to the First Church in Charlestown, Massachusetts, in 1632. The Griffiths settled on the Eastern Shore of Maryland about 1675.
Marion Dexter Learned received his college education at Dickinson College (Carlisle, Pennsylvania), was awarded the degree of A. B. in 1880. He visited Germany in 1885 for the study of Germanic philology and completed his graduate work at the Johns Hopkins University, where he received the degree of Ph. D. in 1887.
Following graduation Learned taught languages in the Williamsport Dickinson Seminary from 1880 to 1884. In 1886 he had been appointed instructor at the Johns Hopkins University in Germany and soon advanced to the associate professorship in the same department.
In 1895 Learned was called to the University of Pennsylvania as head of the German department. The call was a recognition of the scientific value of his philological work, The Pennsylvania German Dialect (1889), completed while at Johns Hopkins and originally published in the American Journal of Philology (vols. IX-X, 1888 - 89). Professor Oswald Seidensticker, Learned's predecessor in the chair of German at the University of Pennsylvania, had already revealed the fact that the Pennsylvania Germans had had a history, fascinating and important in the development of the American commonwealth. Learned became the continuator of this work of historical investigation and combined with it advanced philological and literary studies that attracted graduate students of ability.
Their work, with the cooperation and under the guidance of their leader, resulted in a series of publications on German and American interrelations which were a contribution of lasting value. For the advancement of such studies he founded in 1897 a quarterly called the Americana Germanica, which after four years appeared monthly under the new name, German American Annals. The journal was not confined to local investigations, but invited a wide range of contributors, and aimed to be national in its interests.
His own contributions to the journal were numerous, and some of his studies were republished separately, including Philip Waldeck's Diary of the American Revolution (1907) and The American Ethnographical Survey (1911), in which he attempted to catch as it were in a drag-net, all the historical and literary materials still existing in the Pennsylvania-German counties of Pennsylvania. His most elaborate work, first published in the Annals, was his Life of Francis Daniel Pastorius (1908), which was a documentary history, furnishing as nearly as possible an exhaustive collection of all the documents available on the subject after a most painstaking search in Europe and America. These materials were published verbatim, in the original languages, ancient and modern, without translation and frequently without comment. He scorned the popular demand for readable books as something unworthy, tending to lower scientific standards. He preferred to "let truth unadorned radiate from the documents. "
Another work of historical value was his Guide to the Manuscript Materials Relating to American History in the German State Archives (1912), undertaken under the direction of the department of historical research of the Carnegie Institution. Among other works should be mentioned: The German-American Turner Lyric (1896); The Saga of Walther of Aquitaine (1892); A New German Grammar (1903); and Abraham Lincoln, An American Migration, Family English not German (1909).
He continued to edit the German American Annals until the year of his death. By that time nineteen volumes had been published and the monographs (most of them written by his students), published separately in the series called the Americana Germanica, numbered thirty-two. His graduate students felt an affectionate personal regard for him. He cared for them like a father when they needed aid in securing a position, and he was eminently successful in placing his men. He had the courage of his convictions, however, was quick to give them utterance, and would grow hotly indignant if the occasion provoked it. Then his high-pitched voice would ring out like a clarion. He was president of the Modern Language Association of America in 1909, member of the American Philosophical Society, and Knight of the Royal Prussian Order of the Red Eagle.
Learned, as a head of the German department, developed the University of Pennsylvania into one of the leading centers of Germanic studies. He was also the founder of the journal "German American Annals", "devoted to the comparative study of the historical, literary, linguistic, and educational relations of Germany and America. "
