Jonathan Wagner considers why Germans left their home country, why they chose to settle in Canada, who assisted their passage, and how they crossed the ocean to their new home, as well as how the Canadian government perceived and solicited them as immigrants. He examines the German context as closely as developments in Canada, offering a new, more complete approach to German-Canadian immigration.

An immigrant newspaper provides unique documentation of an ethnic community in formation. Der Wanderer performed this role for Minnesota's growing German-Catholic population in the latter half of the nineteenth century. This look at the paper's first decade (1867-1877) analyzes its effort to promote and preserve the Roman Catholic faith and German ethnic consciousness. Concurrently, its news reporting, political involvement, and adoption of the ways of the American press manifested an apparently contradictory Americanizing tendency. This tension between competing goals reflected a process taking place within the community itself.
