Editorial Reviews
Review
“The first Turner society was established in 1848. At the pinnacle of the movement in the 1890s more than 300 societies with membership in excess of 40,000 were affiliated with the American Turnerbund nationwide. The Turner halls served as community centers for German immigrants....Pumroy and Rampelmann's guide successfullly fills a void in research on the American Turners and early German-American organizations.”–Choice
“This is a well-organized, comprehensive, model guide to a social, political, and athletic movement in American history.”–Reference and User Services Quarterly

Book Description
From the mid-19th century through World War I, Turner 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 Turner 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 Turner movement. With an annotated bibliography, descriptions of archival collections, historical sketches of more than 150 Turner 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 Turners.
