註釋Starting in the 1800's, German-speaking explorers and immigrants made their way to California. Settling in Santa Clara Valley, they made enormous contributions to the development of the area, founding the San Jose library, helping create the fire department, designing a modern sewer system, and building over 500 of San Jose's major business and civic structures. The City Hall, the Hall of Records, Lick Observatory and the old Agnew's Hospital were all created by German pioneers.For years, local historian Maria Brand has been searching through local libraries and archives to compile the stories of local German-speaking immigrants. With the help of many local curators and the support of the Sourisseau Academy at the History Department of San Jose State, this fascinating story has finally been published. This 325-page treasure with dozens of colorful photographs is an important local history and will change local perception of the development of San Jose.
