De glemte danskere: The Schleswig-Holstein Wars of 1848 and 1864 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781542424073)

This is the story of the forgotten Danes who survived centuries of warfare with their Norwegian, Swedish, Frankish, Prussian, and Austrian neighbors. Even today, small colonies of Danish people live in the former Viking and Danish Duchies now in modern Germany, and proudly embrace their culture, language, and traditions. The thousands who died in the Schleswig-Holstein (Slesvig-Holsten) wars are recorded here, and the large-scale emigration to the United States of Danes and Germans escaping from the continual conflict are documented. Also, many genealogical sources and data are presented for Americans interested in discovering their Danish ancestral roots and family histories.
