The Apache Wars And The Swiss Sergeant, John Spring, Albert Winkler
The Apache Wars And The Swiss Sergeant, John Spring, Albert Winkler
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The Apache Wars were a series of conflicts that comprised the longest sequence of confrontations between a Native American Nation and the white Americans of the United States. These largely took place starting with the first US military incursions into the American Southwest in 1846 during the War with Mexico and lasted until Geronimo’s final surrender in 1886. While most of the fighting occurred in the modern US states of Arizona and New Mexico, yet much of the warfare was between the Mexicans and the Apaches dating back to the seventeenth century. Those wars were very costly in lives and …

Seeking Margaret Baker: Identifying The Author Of Three Manuscript Receipt Books, Kimberley G. Connor
Seeking Margaret Baker: Identifying The Author Of Three Manuscript Receipt Books, Kimberley G. Connor
ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640-1830
This paper uses recipe contributors named in three early modern manuscript receipt books (Sloane MS 2485, Sloane MS 2486 and Folger V.a 619) to identify the author as Margaret Baker, daughter of Richard Baker the Chronicler (c.1568-1645) and Margaret Mainwaring (died c.1652). A familial connection is also made to Wellcome MS 212. The Margaret Baker example is used to argue for the necessity of identifying a broader range of receipt, or recipe, book writers in order to understand the spatial and temporal distribution of recipe book production, and their social context. In the case of Margaret Baker, additional information about …
Swiss Heritage Preserved At New Glarus Museum, Duane H. Freitag
Swiss Heritage Preserved At New Glarus Museum, Duane H. Freitag
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Born of Depression-era nostalgia, the Swiss Historical
Village at New Glarus, Wisconsin, continues to be among the state’s
most well-known ethnic heritage sites.
Its development over many years was accomplished by a mix
of descendants of the colonists from Canton Glarus who founded the
community in 1845, later immigrants from Switzerland, and now non-
Swiss who have moved to New Glarus and have embraced its history.
Today the museum complex consists of 14 buildings focusing on
various aspects of the community’s past. Visitors can tour the buildings
on their own or with a guide who provides additional interpretation.
Annual Reports Of The Swiss American Historical Society
Annual Reports Of The Swiss American Historical Society
Swiss American Historical Society Review
It is a pleasure to greet everyone and to wish you good fortune
in all that you do. I deeply appreciate your interest in and continued
support for the Swiss American Historical Society.
The continued problems with COVID-19 virus has forced
changes in how the Swiss American Historical Society (SAHS)
operates. Even though many attempts have been made to return to
normal operations in 2021, there remain challenges; but I am very
pleased to report that many functions of the SAHS have been stellar in
2021. Please note the following.
The Battle Of Dornach 1499: A Contest Between Two Early Tactical Infantries, Albert Winkler
The Battle Of Dornach 1499: A Contest Between Two Early Tactical Infantries, Albert Winkler
Swiss American Historical Society Review
In July of 1499, two well-trained tactical infantries fought
at the Battle of Dornach when the Swiss peasants and Swabian
mercenaries or Landsknechte met in a major engagement for the first
time. The Swiss infantry had been dominating battlefields in many
parts of Europe for decades, but the Battle of Dornach was a close
contest demonstrating that Swiss dominance might be over and a new
age of infantries was soon to begin. While tactical infantries had been
deployed on the field of battle for centuries, this was one of the few
times in the Middle Ages that two of them …
Glarus And Scranton: Benefits And Costs Of Industrialization, Jürg K. Siegenthaler
Glarus And Scranton: Benefits And Costs Of Industrialization, Jürg K. Siegenthaler
Swiss American Historical Society Review
This article is based on my book, Konflikte der
Industrialisierung: Industrie, Raum und Gesellschaft in Glarus und
Scranton 1840-1914, a study which examines and compares the
industrialization process in its path of success as well as the social costs
it entails. The two cases of comparison concern different industries,
but resemble each other regarding region (a valley), the time period,
and the massive environmental transformations during their histories
of industrialization.
History Of The Swiss Consulate Of New York, Louis H. Junold
History Of The Swiss Consulate Of New York, Louis H. Junold
Swiss American Historical Society Review
(First published in 1926)
To my mind the greatest interest of the world is the life of man!
His sacrifices, his service, his sorrow; his love, success and disaster
are all the unfathomably mysterious thing called Life. The harder his
trials, the more his tribulations, the greater his writhing for justice and
beauty—the richer his life and the greater his appreciation of it.
Bernstadt: The Last Swiss Colony, Jan Sparkman
Bernstadt: The Last Swiss Colony, Jan Sparkman
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The final attempt by Swiss immigrants to develop an independent colony in the United States was made in Laurel County, Kentucky, in 1881. This settlement was the result of efforts on the part of Kentucky’s newly-formed Bureau of Immigration to compensate for the fact that the state had been all but ignored by European immigrants in the past. This endeavor was assisted by the active intervention of three men in Switzerland—Otto Brunner, Paul Schenk, and Karl Imobersteg—who were eager to capitalize on Kentucky’s deficiency.

Political Procrastination: Swiss Neutrality And World War Ii, Maria Ott
Political Procrastination: Swiss Neutrality And World War Ii, Maria Ott
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Among the various facts about World War II that have become practically common knowledge, the neutral response of Switzerland stands out as particularly well-known. In recent years, this renowned reaction has been scrutinized, with many accusing Switzerland of at best problematic indifference to the affairs of the world during this time and at worst near collaboration with Axis powers, particularly Nazi Germany. Though the nation cannot boast an entirely clean ethical record when it comes to its involvement in the wartime economics, these accusations seem exaggerated. The tradition of neutrality held by Switzerland for decades and its vulnerable position at …

The Battle Of The Rosebud And The Contribution Of The Swiss Captain Alexander Johann Sutorius, Albert Winkler
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The Battle of the Rosebud was one of the most significant engagements between the United States Army and the Native Americans in the history of the American West. It was a close contest, and the participation of many courageous men in the army made a big difference. This number included Captain Alexander Johann Sutorius from Switzerland who made valuable contributions for the army in both the campaign and battle.
