“Eine Erklärung durch die Representanten der Vereinigten Staaten von America, im General-Congress versammelt”: Only days after July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was translated into German—by the publisher Charles Cist!—and printed as a broadside. Two known copies of that first print run survive, now owned by Gettysburg College and the Deutsches Historisches Museum. (The New York Times, 6/26/26; ATA German Language Division, 7/2/26)
