	Amazon.co.uk: Peasant Fires: The Drummer of Niklashausen: Books: Richard Wunderli (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		One night in 1476 in the small southern German town of Niklashausen, an illiterate shepherd and street musician by the name of Hans Behem had a vision of the Virgin Mary.
		The Virgin told him to burn his drum in a bonfire of the vanities and preach at the village church the virtues of a life of poverty and devotion to God.
		In a short time, great crowds of peasants and common folk from all over Germany were coming to hear 'The Drummer' preach, and Niklashausen became the object of a massive pilgrimage.

	Amazon.com: Peasant Fires: The Drummer of Niklashausen: Books: Richard M. Wunderli (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Wunderli (history, Univ. of Colorado) recounts the tragic story of Hans Behem, a peasant shepherd of the German village of Niklashausen, in 1476.
		The peasants in medieval society remain silent in history, neither speaking themselves through writings they were not able to produce or being ignored by the literate classes of the aristocracy or clergy, until those occasional moments when the peasants turn their despair into anger and their enemies cannot write enought about them.
		Richard Wunderli captures simply and perfectly one of these moments in Peasant Fires (The Drummer of Niklashausen) when the peasants in Southern Germany are led on a very brief pilgrimage by the enigmatic peasant/shephard Hans Behem and his visions of Mary that threaten to turn the society upside down.

	History 167a: Early Modern Germany
		It was the time of the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counterreformation, of the German Peasants' War that was the greatest mass movement of pre-modern Western history, and of the Thirty Years' War that destroyed 150 years of economic growth.
		It was also the age of Johannes Gutenberg and his printing press, of the shepherd-prophet known as "the Drummer of Niklashausen," of the Emperor Charles V and his empire on which the sun literally never set, of Martin Luther and his religious reformation, of witches and witch-hunters, and of mercenary armies and their peasant prey.
