Dear Mr. Panchyk,

Florentine Films, under the direction of Ken Burns, is currently producing a seven part documentary film series on the Roosevelts: Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor.

One of the stories in our film is about Theodore Roosevelt, enforcing a Sunday law that closed saloons on the sabbath in New York City. This resulted in alienating German workingmen who "wanted to drink beer on their day off",and who subsequently staged a large protest parade in the beginning of November 1895.

For some reason, I am having trouble finding a good source for the german immigrant community in NYC at that period of time, and haven't been able to find anything with the parade. Part of this I am sure is just due to my ignorance on the subject...which is why I thought I would check in with you after seeing your book about German Americans.

Do you have any leads on collectors/or collections with this type of material.

Thanks for your time and consideration. I am sure you are very busy.

With regards, Susanna Steisel,Florentine Films, PO Box 613, Walpole, NH 03608. 603-756-4141, ameridoc@sover.net
