The Story of the Palatines is a historical book written by Sanford Hoadley Cobb in 1897. The book is an account of the Palatine immigration to America in the early 18th century. The Palatines were a group of German immigrants who settled in the British colonies in America, primarily in New York and Pennsylvania. The book begins with a brief history of the Palatines and their struggles in Europe, including political and religious persecution. It then follows their journey to America, where they faced many challenges such as disease, famine, and hostile Native American tribes. The author also discusses the role of the British government in the Palatine immigration, including the establishment of a refugee camp in New York and the controversy surrounding the use of Palatines as indentured servants. Throughout the book, Cobb provides a detailed account of the Palatines' daily lives, including their customs, traditions, and struggles to adapt to their new homeland. He also delves into the social and economic impact of the Palatine immigration on colonial America. Overall, The Story of the Palatines is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in colonial history, immigration, and the struggles of early settlers in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
