Synopsis
Excerpt from The Vanderlip, Van Derlip, Vander Lippe Family in America: Also Including Some Account of the Von Der Lippe Family of Lippe, Germany, From Which the Norwegian, Dutch and American Lines Have Their Descent
The thatch was torn from the cottages that the horses of the marauders might be bedded; the cottages were razed to furnish materials for building huts; the carts were taken from the yards; the oxen from their stalls. The passage of an army meant the entire disappearance of all the farmers' live stock. The large flocks of sheep made their way to the roasting ovens and stew pots of the great mob, and the national wool of Germany, known in every market of the world, was lost for ever. The large cities were a place of refuge for the upper classes, for in them some semblance of law and order was maintained, but for the common people there were no such retreats. They were robbed and maltreated, and if they did not promptly disclose the hiding places of their treasures the y were beaten, maimed and often killed. Their sons were im pressed into the ranks of the soldiery, and their daughters were kidnapped and forced to join the bands of dissolute women. If an army remained long in a locality the effect of the feeling of terror and insecurity, and the horribly vicious associations with which they were surrounded, produced a condition of despair and moral recklessness that was appal ling.
