His bio from http://www.gettysburg.edu/library/gettdigital/maps/stuckenberg_bio.htm -
John Henry Wilbrandt Stuckenberg (1835-1903) was born in Germany and came to America as a small boy. He attended school in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, graduated from Wittenberg College in 1858, studied at the Universities of Halle and Goettingen in Germany, became an Army chaplain in the 145th Pennsylvania volunteers during the Civil War, held several pastorates, then returned to Wittenberg College as a professor in the Theological Department. He returned to Germany several times, the longest period being from 1887-1894 when he wrote books, lectured, and became the founder and first pastor of the American Church in Berlin. Dr. Stuckenberg had a life long interest in maps, and while living in Germany purchased the majority of his collection which consists of three 17th century atlases and over 500 map sheets from the 16th through the 19th century. A few of the cartographers represented in the collection are: Willem Janszoon Blaeu (1571-1638), Matthaus Seutter (1678-1756), and Tobias Conrad Lotter (1717-1777).
