Mary Ann Hafen, Recollections Of A Handcart Pioneer Of 1860: A Woman's Life On The Mormon Frontier, Kurt Winkler
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The reissuing of Mary Ann Stucki [Stücki] Hafen's classic account by a Swiss-American pioneer with an introduction by Donna Toland Smart is most welcome. This is the seventh reprinting of the book, which was first published in 1938 and was initially meant only as a record for the author's family, but it has been widely praised as one of the most important accounts of the Mormon migration and early settlement.

David Birmingham, Switzerland: A Village History, William P. Kladky Ph.D.
Swiss American Historical Society Review
This vividly interesting book is both a history of Switzerland and an intensive case study of one village. Of the nation's many boroughs, the author understandably selected Château-d'Oex, his childhood home. Château-d'Oex, 2010 population 3,231, is in the Canton of Vaud in the upper Saane valley, roughly 32km./20 miles east of Lake Geneva. While the author does not claim the village to be scientifically typical, its trials and victories are Swiss and fairly serve as a national microcosm. The author's supple prose is well served by sixteen pages of excellent pictures and illustrations.

David H. Sutton, Helvetia: The History Of A Swiss Village In The Mountains Of West Virginia, Christopher Tucker
Swiss American Historical Society Review
In his impressive book Helvetia: The History of a Swiss Village in the Mountains of West Virginia, David H. Sutton presents a candid and vivid history of a solitary American community and connects it to the larger themes, movements, and events of the nation as a whole. This is above all a local history, but the success of the work lies in Sutton's depiction of how Helvetia and its residents-since its inception - responded to important national events. The immigration boom of the nineteenth century, World War I, and the rise of technology in the twentieth century ~.11 ~make …

From Purrysburg To Prosperity On The Southern Frontier: Francis Pelot Of South Carolina, 1720-177 4, Daniel J. Tortora
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Jonas Pelot, a master shoemaker in his late forties, embarked on a new adventure at an age when many men entered the twilight of their lives. For more than three hundred years, the Pelot family had lived in La Neuveville, a French-speaking medieval village in the canton of Bern. But Pelot wished to escape the political tumult that had disrupted community life and business in his small town. Citizens charged local government officials with corruption. Though Jonas Pelot had nothing to do with the controversy, one of the accused was a personal friend. At the same time, the promises of …

Il tecnico altoatesino Richard Klement, il meccanico bolzanino Helmut Gregor: apparentemente semplici cittadini emigrati in Argentina dopo le devastazioni della seconda guerra mondiale. Ma questi nomi ne celano altri ben più noti: Adolf Eichmann e Josef Mengele. Sono solo due delle migliaia di nazisti che dopo la sconfitta, attraverso l'Alto Adige e il porto di Genova, riuscirono a raggiungere terre più sicure come Spagna, Sudamerica, Medio Oriente. Eichmann e Mengele si erano avvalsi per la loro fuga oltreoceano nel 1950 di documenti rilasciati loro in Alto Adige dopo aver assunto una nuova identità. Perché il prototipo del "burocrate dello sterminio" …

On Danish-American Cultural Identity, Signe Sloth
The Bridge
In 1967 an article was published which kick-started a discussion that is still going on among sociologists today. The subject of the article is American civil religion and the writer is the American sociologist Robert Bellah who claims that every nation and every people has a religious self-understanding. He advocates an American civil religion that is separated from other denominations and established religious institutions, but just like them demands recognition and understanding. Bellah defines this Civil Religion as " ... A genuine apprehension of universal and transcendental religious reality as seen in or . . . as revealed through the …

Food For The Soul: Feasting And Fasting In The Spanish Middle Ages, Martha Daas
World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications
This article examines the concept of "Christian" eating that can be found in a variety of texts from the 13th and 14th centuries. “Christian” eating can be defined as consumption that follows the precepts of the Christian calendar and also the recommendations of the Church. As both fasting and feasting are integral elements of the medieval calendar, this article looks at the depiction of food, its consumption, and its role in religious ritual in texts as varied as the Milagros de Nuestra Señora, the Vidas of Santa Maria Egipciaca and Santa Marta, and the more doctrinally liberal Libro de buen …

Caracalla's Armenia, Lee E. Patterson
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
We are hard pressed to understand the events of Caracalla's Parthian war, including the role Armenia played in the conflict, because of gross inadequacies in our sources. A careful analysis suggests that Caracalla intended to annex Armenia but never saw the project through. His intentions can be gauged by his treatment of Edessa, for whose annexation the evidence is more solid. Caracalla was trying to secure his rear, from Osrhoene to Armenia, in preparation for a full-scale Parthian war. Because the goal of stabilizing Armenia proved elusive, given local hostilities, Caracalla had to scale back his plans.
