Book Review: The Swiss American Historical Society 1927-1977, Leo Schelbert
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
This history of a small ethnic-national association is not the usual anniversary publication, listing glorious achievements and displaying pictures of smiling officers or of happy gatherings. It presents instead a concise anatomy of the ups and downs, even near collapses, the organization faced during its first five decades.

Théodore Bost was born in 1834 at Carouge near Genea, emigrated in 1851 to St. Paul, Minnesota, became a farmer in nearby Carver County, stayed in Minnesota until 1887 and then moved to Pomona near Los Angeles and died in California in 1920. His wife, Sophie née Bonjour from Neuchâtel, born in 1835, married him in 1858 and died in 1922. Both stood firmly in the protestant tradition. The Bost family, with its pastors, missionaries and even a pioneer in social work for handicapped children, shows how strongly the religions spirit of Geneva has influenced many lives of its citizens. …

To emigrate to the United States today does not seem to be the great adventure anymore that it once was. The material inconveniences of the move are negligible, the problems of psychological adjustment trivial compared to the physical hardships and culture shocks endured by the immigrants in the eighteenth and nineteenth century.

Peter Mansbendel was born in Basel in 1883 and came to the United States in his early twenties. In New York he met a well-to-do Texan beauty. They married and eventually settled in Austin, Texas. From 1915 to his death, in 1940, Mansbendel pursued his calling of woodcarver by doing pieces of furniture, fireplace mantels, portrait plaques and busts and other kinds of decorative works for individual patrons and institutions such as the University of Texas.

This issue of the SAHS Newsletter is given almost entirely to a genealogical article by Leo Schelbert and Sandra Luebking that has previously been published in the Summer 1977 issue of Pennsylvania Folklife (Vol. XXVI, No. 5). We are grateful to Dr. Don Yoder, editor of Pennsylvania Folklife, for permission to copy the article in its entirety. Schelbert and S. Luebking, a teacher and genealogist in Chicago, have added an index of the names in all their spelling variations that should prove helpful to users of the annotated checklist.

In the decades after 1520 the people of Western Europe experienced a thorough religious transformation. Instead of one Western Christendom centered in Rome a variety of competing interpretations of true Christianity emerged that were able to translate their assumptions into viable and enduring institutions. Among the emerging persuasions one group was unique, however: its members, scornfully called "catabaptists" or " anabaptists" - re-baptizers - by their opponents, rejected the millennia-old idea of the corpus christianum which postulates the unity between the ecclesiastical and political domain. For the Brethren, as they called themselves, the secular world was not an aspect of …

This is an illustrated, indexed brochure, 26 double-columned pages in length. The Swiss are introduced as "The most cosmopolitan immigrants to come to Texas with the least reason for coming ... " This statement contains important clues about the nature of Swiss emigration and the difficulties of writing about it. Due to the absence of strong outside determining factors such as "ideological oppression, economic depressions and natural catastrophes," decisions to leave Switzerland were almost always individually colored.
