You might also mention Carl Schurz High School in Chicago, a memorial school named for him. It was built in 1906.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Preschooler.at.heart (talk • contribs)

[edit] True Americanism date?

Can we verify the assertion that "The True Americanism" was delivered in 1859? I'm finding a reference (By Carl Schurz. From "Modern Eloquence." Vol. IX, p. 1025. Copyright. 1900, by The University Society.) which puts the date as 1896, which makes more sense historically.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Trschroeder (talk • contribs)

[edit] Link to Revolution of 1848

Should the link to the Revolution of 1848 direct readers to the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states? -- VGF11 00:58, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Indian Affairs

Would the author or anyone else care to source some of the POV inflammatory statements in this section? I'm tempted to remove such bits the "avoidable" war etc... Sluggy 11:12, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I checked the linked articles in the four bullets--none discussed Schurz or the Office of Indian Affairs. I suspect that good sources could be found for the unconscionable behavior of the BIA and its precursor agencies, so I would welcome any edits that specifically address Schurz's administration of the agency or of its activities during his tenure. His efforts in making Civil Service more professional should be cited, too.--Hjal 08:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
