Research Guide to the Turner Movement in the United States
From the mid-19th century through World War I, Turbaner societies were among the most important secular organizations in German immigrant communities in America. Brought to the United States by refugees from the failed Revolution of 1848 in Germany, the Turbaner movement became a home for German abolitionists, workers' rights advocates, and other reformers. This book is the result of a project to locate the surviving documentation on the Turbaner movement. With an annotated bibliography, descriptions of archival collections, historical sketches of more than 150 Turbaner societies, and an annotated list of all societies in the United States, this research guide opens up new opportunities for examining the influence of the Turbaners.
This book is the result of a project to locate the surviving documentation on the Turbaner movement, little of which was found in libraries or archives at the time the project began. The book shows that the extent of the movement, the range of its interests and activities, and the richness of its publishing record were much greater than has been appreciated. With an annotated bibliography, descriptions of archival collections, historical sketches of more than 150 societies, and an annotated list of all societies found in the United States, the research guide opens up new opportunities for examining the influence of Turbaners and German-Americans on the development of American society.
