A BRIEF HISTORY OF BAVARIA - GERTRUDE NORMAN KA...

There have been innumerable scholarly and scientific histories written on Bavaria  in German 
and several excellent works on various phases of her remarkable history  and of the vivid
personalities which so invade her past  in English. The guide books which are to be found in
all her more important towns and cities are very adequate  although of necessity much has to be
left untold  owing to their size  and concentrated as they chiefly are on the one place in
question. Bavaria is indeed pregnant with an all embracing interest  her cities  towns 
villages  mountain ranges and peaks so full of the romance of folk-lore  legend and the eternal
tragedies of the past. The very atmosphere in which they exist is potent with an aroma of the
most fascinating and awesome periods of the world's external and spiritual developement.
Mystery enshrouds the beginnings of all European countries! But in the Southern Germanic lands
perhaps  the silence is the most profound. For there is no beginning in our memory of the
Celtic race. One's imagination must make a vast sweep to go back over the peaks of time  one
thousand four hundred years before Christ  and even farther still  to the prehistoric period of
Bavaria. But we must attempt this momentary vision  for it is only thus that we can trace her
upward fluctuations and developement through the long centuries. [...] This wonderful book is a
reprint of the original published in 1906. It shows the history of Bavaria including details on
special cities like Munich  Bayreuth  Nuremberg  Oberammergau  Augsburg  Rothenburg and several
more.
