Chapter XI. Friedrich Ludwif Jahn & Popular Gymnastics in Germany, Turner and German Turnvereine, 1893-1921

The materials in this series, which comprise the bulk of Leonard's research are arranged on the basis of his major works, Pioneers of Modern Physical Training, and Guide to the History of Physical Education. The documentation consists of magazine articles collected by Leonard, his handwritten notes, bibliographic notes, and original items such as an 1822 catalog from Alden Partridge's (1785-1854) military academy, and correspondence and signatures from early pioneers, including an 1821 letter from Partridge, and an undated item from Dio Lewis (1823-1886). (These files have been greatly disorganized since their creation, so the researcher is advised that files on a particular subject or person may be found in more than one location in the files. To the extent possible, this has been minimized.)
