Notes

A cultural and historical survey of the German Catholic colonies of Liebental, Kutschurgan, and Beresan, established in the Odessa region of southern Russia beginning in 1804. Joseph S. Height traces the development of these settler communities through to 1972, focusing on their social, religious, and cultural life. Intended as a general history, the work draws on a range of sources to document the experiences and legacy of the colonists across changing political landscapes.
