Second Harvest, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

We both felt that in order to compare our findings we ought to get together. Unfortunately, Mrs. Ebright's husband was in New York for two days, but she agreed to meet me the following day, at Lancaster's Historical Archives. Working there, we discovered that Jacob had opened an inn. The next day we went over to the Lebanon County Historical Society Archives, for it was in that area that "Jacob Epprieht of Bethel Township in the Country of Lancaster" had acquired land for his inn (at that time the lay-out of the lots looked different from today). At these archives …

Second Harvest: The State Of Research 2007- An Update, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

The author of this personal report did not stop research on his

native Dorlikon with the present volume, reedited unchanged. Questions

of local conditions and family relationships, economic limitations in the

17th and everyday life in the 18th century filled three more volumes (see

the concluding essay by Leo Schelbert). Additional light was shed on

the causes for emigration, and a second research trip to the USA in 1996

yielded many a missing puzzle stone towards the picture of the Dorlikon

emigrants. These new facts have been assembled here under the headings

of the emigrant families. Reference is made to …

Off To Carolina- No News From There, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

"In January 1743 the whole family emigrated to Carolina.

Thereafter no more news came to Dorlikon." With this footnote the

entries to Rudolf Eprecht's line in the Epprecht family chronicle

end. It touched me when, three decades ago, I received Reverend

Robert Epprecht's research work on the Epprecht family as a gift.

According to Reverend Epprecht's findings, other villagers from

Dorlikon had also left for Carolina, among whom a certain Conrad

Basler with his family. Did they ever reach the other side of the

Ocean? If so, where did they settle? And do these families still exist

today?

Off To Pennsylvania, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

After New York, my wife and I traveled on to Bethlehem,

Pennsylvania. We had long been invited to visit John and Nelda Fisher

there, old university friends of ours, and it was now that we finally complied.

'It looks greener and cleaner', was our first response to the town that

had become our second home and our daughter Susan's birthplace. The

fortunate change in the town's appearance seemed due to the 'Bethlehem

Steel Company', which had shrunk to a mere tenth of its original jobs.

Lehigh University, on the other hand, had grown in size-in particular its

research department for …

Julia Beringer Huber, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

At the time of the Dorlikon pioneers only Indian paths led west,

and yet, the traffic connections to the Midwest hold a core position in

the history of North America. My wife and I went to one of the most

important centers in this context, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, coming

from Newark, New Jersey. As a member of a delegation of experts

I had been to Newark twenty years before, when, for the first time

worldwide , a novel way of building runways was being tested there.

On our visit in 1992, on the other hand, I was more interested in the …

Kings And Tyrants: Leonardo Bruni's Translation Of Xenophon's "Hiero", Brian Maxson

ETSU Faculty Works

Leonardo Bruni published one of his most widely copied translations, Xenophon's pro-monarchical Hiero, shortly before he penned his more famous original works, his Dialogues and Panegyric to the City of Florence. Scholars have traditionally focused on the political ideas present in these original treatises; yet, despite the centrality of political ideas to the Hiero, its temporal proximity to these works, and its enormous popularity (the work exists in 200 fifteenth-century manuscripts), scholars have neglected to offer a full assessment of Bruni's translation in the context of these works. Bruni's translation of Xenophon's Hiero fit into a debate …

Le Festin De Chessex Ou Comment Apprêter La Littérature Suisse, Marie-Hélène Larochelle, Jean-Pierre Thomas

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This paper focuses on the definition of the monster as presented in Jacques Chessex’s novel L’ogre. the authors observe how the monstrous figure modifies the Swiss literary heritage, and try to understand how it brings a mythological tradition up to date.

Mémoire Du Duel Dans À La Recherche Du Temps Perdu, Yan Hamel

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This paper analyses the duel as a central motive in Marcel Proust’s novel À la recherche du temps perdu. In the novels cycle, it appears that the occasions the men have to fight or to watch a duel help to understand why that violent practice increased during the last decade before the second World War. The practice seems to be monstrous morally and socially.
