migrants, many of whom
settled in the Sandy area
after 1886, can now see
their forbears both before
and since they came to
Oregon
An in-depth and readable
book on the subject was
released in September by
Halcyon House Publishers
entitled "Wlr Wollen
Deutsche Bleiben (We
Want to Remain German),
the Story of the Volga Ger
mans.”
mans, not Russians
They fled the steppes and
hills along the lower Volga
River near Saratov in 1876
because—in the words of
one of them - “there was no
opportunity "
Young men drafted into
Russian military service
could no longer make their
Easter duty, and the inter
national wheat traders
were robbing them blind
Within two years after
many of them arrived in
the plains states, their
habits of hard work and
perseverence gave birth to
the seventh and greatest
breadbasket of the world
The message of this
"roots ' type history seems
clear enough Families
outlive countries And in
this book families from the
Sandy area with a Volga
German heritage may well
find that missing element
in their social history
The descendants of the
Volga Germans who live in
the United States and
Canada now number 2
million Few know of their
roots in the Rhine Valley,
Hesse-Darmstadt and the
Bavarian Alps
At square one. “The
Story of the Volga Ger
mans ” is simply a book
about one of history ’s most
distinguished migrations
The Volga Germans came
to the United States from
Russia but they were Ger
Their cousins fought with
the British in the American
Revolutionary War, but
they weren't mercenaries
as history books say. but
drafted farmers sentenced
to fight for a fee that was
paid to their governments
Few descendants of the
Volga Germans now living
in Sandy know about the
great hungers of the 1920s
in German Russian, or the
demise of the Volga
Republic that was built and
governed by German
speaking people a hundred
years removed from their
ancestral homeland

the Russian steppes in 1763.

as a tax credit up to 50 per
cent of an eligible
employee's first $6.000 in

percent ot the first $6.000 in
wages the second year, for
a potential credit of $4,500
Since the start of the pro
gram in May 1979, Oregon

have realized a net savings
of more than $27 million
