Zusammenfassung:In Citizens in a Strange Land, Hermann Wellenreuther examines the broadsides-printed single sheets-produced by the Pennsylvania German community. These broadsides covered topics ranging from local controversies and politics to devotional poems and hymns. Each one is a product of and reaction to a particular historical setting.

He shows how these broadsides provided advice, projections, and comment on phases of life from cradle to grave
