Frederika Charlotte Riedesel
[edit]
Baroness Riedesel introduced the traditional German Christmas tree at a party in Canada, 1781.
- ... that Frederika Charlotte Riedesel, a prisoner of war during the American Revolution, is credited with the introduction of the Christmas tree to North America?

@Canute: This is an interesting article about an enterprising woman. Unfortunately it does not qualify for DYK as it has not been either created or expanded five-fold in the seven days before nomination, which is what the DYK rules demand. The only realistic way it could achieve a DYK slot would be if it were to become a GA. It's a nice article, so you could consider that route. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:18, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
