The Family Blesi: Swiss Pioneers Of Old Minnesota, Wayne C. Blesi
The Family Blesi: Swiss Pioneers Of Old Minnesota, Wayne C. Blesi
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Some of the early settlers of New Schwanden, Minnesota left Schwanden, Switzerland on August 25th , 1853 to come to America, and after a voyage of fifty days they arrived in New Orleans, Louisiana, about October 14th , 1853. They traveled up the Mississippi River by river boat to the Ohio River and then on to Chicago, Illinois, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and New Glarus, Wisconsin, in search of land. Since however they were out of money, they then proceeded to work their way to St. Anthony, Minnesota, later named Minneapolis, Minnesota, arriving there in April 1854. They set out in search …
The Planting Of New Bilten, Duane H. Freitag, Robert A. Elmer
The Planting Of New Bilten, Duane H. Freitag, Robert A. Elmer
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Almost forgotten now, the farming region of New Bilten in Wisconsin's Green County was once a pivotal part of the Swiss immigrant community there and deeply intertwined in the founding of the state's renowned cheese-making industry. The region is centered in a valley south of New Glarus once known as the Biltental (Bilten valley), where more than a dozen families from the Canton Glarus village of the same name settled as a group in July of 1847.

California new-book-launches. Soon after completion of the above report two new-book-launches/book sales of the Otto Wyss book took place in San Francisco and Paso Robles respectively, organized by Jtirg Siegenthaler. They were quite successful, netting six new members; that may not be much in absolute terms but is considerably more than the four who had joined SAHS from within the US during the entire last year. The two events were quite different.

Danish Language And The Church, Robert A. Olsen
Danish Language And The Church, Robert A. Olsen
The Bridge
The first documented account of a Danish language church service on American soil were those conducted by the Rev. Rasmus Jensen, a Danish Pastor who was part of the Jens Munk led expedition of 1619-1620 to find the Northwest Passage to the Orient. Munk's diary states "We celebrated the Holy Christmas Day solemnly, as is a Christian's duty, with a goodly sermon and a mass. After the sermon we gave the priest an offering .... "1 Unfortunately only Munk and two of his 64 men who embarked on this journey survived the winter and returned home, thus resulting in no …

I'M Going To America: Jens Christian Andersen's Travel Diary And Letters From Racine, Wiscon Sin, 1894-96, Pia Viscor
The Bridge
Editor's Introduction. For several years, I have been working on a description and analysis of emigration from the extensive region that made up the large estate of Skjoldesncesholm in central Sjcelland during the second half of the nineteenth century. Of all the many pictures, letters, and accounts that have passed through my hands, one collection in particular stands out: a travel diary and twenty-four letters written by a young man named Jens Christian Andersen, who emigrated in the year 1894. Before he left home, the seventeen-year-oldC hristian, as he was called, promised to keep a travel diary and also to …
Danish Immigration To Racine County, Wisconsin: A Case Study Of The Pull Effect In Nineteenth-Century Migration, Pia Viscor
The Bridge
The year 1971 marked a turning point in Danish migration history with the appearance of Kristian Hvidt's monumental study of emigration registers maintained by the Copenhagen police. 1 Four years later, the book appeared in an abridged English edition as Flight to America; The Social Background of 300,000 Danish Emigrants (New York: Academic Press, 1975).
Politics Among Danish Americans In The Midwest, Ca. 1890-1914, Jorn Brondal
Politics Among Danish Americans In The Midwest, Ca. 1890-1914, Jorn Brondal
The Bridge
During the last decades of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, ethnicity and religion played a vital role in shaping the political culture of the Midwest. Indeed, historians like Samuel P. Hays, Lee Benson, Richard Jensen (of part Danish origins), and Paul Kleppner argued that ethnoreligious factors to a higher degree than socioeconomic circumstances informed the party affiliation of ordinary voters.1 It is definitely true that some ethnoreligious groups like, say, the Irish Catholics and the German Lutherans boasted fullfledged political subcultures complete with their own press, their own political leadership and to some extent, at least, their own …
Re-Writing The Danish American Dream? An Inquiry Into Danish Enterprise Culture And Danish Attitudes Toward Entrepreneurship, Robert Smith, Helle Neergaard
Re-Writing The Danish American Dream? An Inquiry Into Danish Enterprise Culture And Danish Attitudes Toward Entrepreneurship, Robert Smith, Helle Neergaard
The Bridge
This research story which to us reads like a fairytale is the secondpart of an exploration into Danish Enterprise Culture. It tells an oft forgotten tale, a Danish Success Story which we hope will one day be held even dearer by self-deprecating Danes everywhere. In telling this wondrous tale we are also serving a serious purpose in examining some socio-cultural and historical factors influencing the perceived low entrepreneurial drive of the Danish people, and perhaps also in the process helping to explain why traditionally Denmark does not have a vibrant Enterprise Culture. This work adopts a Verstehen based methodology because …

Benedicte Wrensted' S Indian Photographs, Lea Rosson Delong
The Bridge
Joanna Cohan Scherer resurrects the career of Benedicte Wrensted (1859-1949), a photographer who emigrated from Denmark in 1893 and set up her studio in Pocatello, Idaho, a town of about 4,500 population. Over the next seventeen years, Wrensted produced approximately one hundred seventy known photographs of Northern Shoshone, Bannock and Lemhi tribal members who lived on the nearby Fort Hall Indian Reservation, along with numerous pictures of the Euro-American citizens of Pocatello as well. Though several of Wrensted's photographs of the Sha-Ban (as the tribes refer to themselves) were well known and had been frequently published, it was not until …

Peeling the Onion is the intriguing name of the memoirs written by the celebrated German author, Gunter Grass, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1999. His memoirs cover the twenty-year period from the outbreak of World War II in September 1939 until the publication of his best selling book, The Tin Drum, in 1959. In other words, the book begins in Danzig, where he was born and lived with his parents and sister, and it also ends in Danzig, where the novel, The Tin Drum, takes place.
