Considering Swiss Neutrality In World War One: Ideas, Successes, And Failures, Brian Wages
Swiss American Historical Society Review
At first glance, the Fifteenth Century Swiss ascetic Niklaus von Flue
and George Washington have only their distinguished military service
in common. Yet they share something far more important to contemporary
citizens of the United States and Switzerland. They were early
proponents of their respective nations' views on neutrality and vocal
advocates of avoiding foreign influences, alliances, and payments. For
international observers, Swiss neutrality is a universal constant and the
nation is quickly approaching two hundred years of uninterrupted neutrality.

Henry Wirz And Andersonville: The Career Of The Most Controversial Swiss American, Albert Winkler
Swiss American Historical Society Review
While many Americans of Swiss descent have made valuable contributions
to the development of the United States, Henry Wirz has often
been viewed with disdain. He was the commander of the infamous Andersonville
prison where nearly 13,000 Union prisoners died during the
American Civil War, and he was one of the two men executed for war
crimes relating to that conflict. Despite his conviction in court, much
controversy surrounds his actions at Andersonville, and many writers
have either condemned or praised him. This paper will review the career
of Henry Wirz, examine his conduct at Andersonville, and analyze his
trial …

The Ticino Swiss Immigration To California, Tony Quinn
Swiss American Historical Society Review
America is a land of immigrants, and the Ticino Swiss immigrants
share many of the characteristics found in other immigrant groups.
The first American immigrants were the English in the 17th century,
who founded the country. They were followed by the Scots-Irish from
Northern Ireland in the 18th century, and then in the half century after
America's Civil War, the years 1865 to 1920, masses of immigrants
came from all parts of Europe.

The Swiss At The Battle Of The Little Bighorn, 1876, Albert Winkler
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The Swiss have made many valuable contributions to the development
of the United States, including the westward expansion, and people
from Switzerland participated in some of the most significant events
and activities in the development of the American frontier. They were
involved in treks to the West, were found in many mining camps and in
pioneer settlements, and served in the US Army. Among the most celebrated
Swiss soldiers was Ernest Yeuve, from Neuchatel, who received
the Congressional Medal of Honor for driving off an Indian warrior in
1874 after brief hand-to-hand combat. His citation commended him for
the "gallant …

Mythology In The Middle Ages: Heroic Tales Of Monsters, Magic, And Might, Christopher R. Fee
Gettysburg College Faculty Books
Myths of gods, legends of battles, and folktales of magic abound in the heroic narratives of the Middle Ages. Mythology in the Middle Ages: Heroic Tales of Monsters, Magic, and Might describes how Medieval heroes were developed from a variety of source materials: Early pagan gods become euhemerized through a Christian lens, and an older epic heroic sensibility was exchanged for a Christian typological and figural representation of saints. Most startlingly, the faces of Christian martyrs were refracted through a heroic lens in the battles between Christian standard-bearers and their opponents, who were at times explicitly described in demonic terms. …
