		The Dutch, even before they came to America, had seen plenty of soldiering, and it is therefore not surprising that they ranked high in Revolutionary soldiering-nor that in the great World War America picked as the head of her entire army, the largest in American history, General John J. Pershing, a Dutchman.
		The Pennsylvania Germans are credited with the introduction of the willow tree, many varieties of fruit, especially apples, the prevention of soil erosion, the balanced rotation of crops, the building of "bank" barns, the Conestoga wagon, Prairie schooner of pioneer days, several types of fences, and numerous other elements found in modern agriculture.
