"Emphasis is upon the Hessian regiment von Knyphausen and it's part in the American Revolution. Johannes was in the Leibkompanie of that regiment. He was one of the thousands whose observation of American freedom led them to change allegiance and remain here. Also emphasized is Die Schwalm, the district in the valley of the Schwalm River from which Johannes and many of his comrades came. Its art and customs are reflected in the areas where they made their new home. The book lists most of his descendants in the United States and and relatives that remained in Germany. It also contains short genealogical records of the related families, Bobb, Stein, Klinger,and Schmeltz " [from the book jacket]
