Erasmus And Switzerland, Edmund J. Campion
Erasmus And Switzerland, Edmund J. Campion
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Although Erasmus (1467?-1536) lived in Switzerland for ten years, a longer period of time than in any country except his native Holland, and was, in fact, buried in Basel, scholars have written very little of substance on his lengthy connections with Switzerland and Swiss intellectuals and publishers. This is surprising because links between Erasmus and specific European countries have attracted a great deal of interest from leading Erasmus scholars. In his 1954 book Erasme et l 'Italie, Augustin Renaudet examined the important connections between Erasmus and Italian theologians and philosophers. Not only did Erasmus earn his doctorate in sacred theology …
Review Essay: Arnold H. Price, My Twentieth Century. Recollections Of A Public Historian, Leo Schelbert
Review Essay: Arnold H. Price, My Twentieth Century. Recollections Of A Public Historian, Leo Schelbert
Swiss American Historical Society Review
This autobiographical account of a twentieth century life, moving into the twenty-first, is as captivating as it is instructive. Arnold H. Price, who for years served the Swiss American Historical Society as secretary and also generously assisted scholars such as Heinz K. Meier in their research on the relations between the United States and Switzerland-a Friendship under Stress, as H.K. Meier's study is aptly titled-features in this memoir his formative years in Bonn, Kiel and Ann Arbor, Michigan as well as his professional career in Washington, D.C. There he worked first in the Office of Strategic Services, the OSS, from …

Review Essay: Jeremy Dupertuis Bangs, Editor And Translator, Swiss Sisters Separated. Pioneer Life In Kansas, Oklahoma, And Washington 1889-1914. From The Letters Of Louise Guillermin Dupertuis To Her Sister Elise Guillermin, The Painter, Leo Schelbert
Swiss American Historical Society Review
This work of nearly 500 pages presents a rich harvest of documents, data, and insights, derived from Jeremy Dupertuis Bangs' painstaking and expert effort as editor, translator, and interpreter. He first offers a concise introduction concerning the letters which had been exchanged mainly between Louise Guillermin Dupertuis (1848-1914), an 1889 immigrant to Kansas, and also some of her children, with Elise ( 1851-1931) and Isa line (b. 1841) Guillermin, the sisters of the book's title. Despite Louise's frequent entreaties, Elise stayed in Crettaz-Tavex sur Ollon in the Swiss canton of Vaud in whose studio the editor discovered their copious correspondence …

Preface, H. Dwight Page
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The present issue is a reprint of the lengthy Introduction to another Picton Press
publication, Volume 2 of Even More Palatine Families. In that volume the author
Lewis Bunker Rohrbach , CG, illuminates in great depth the 1710 von Graffenried
settlement of New Bern , North Carolina. Although the writing of that volume was part
of a general collaborative effort between Mr. Rohrbach and his colleague Hank Jones,
Mr. Rohrbach wishes to stress that he alone has responsibility for the contents of the
New Bern volume.

The 1710 Von Graffenried Settlement Of New Bern, North Carolina, Lewis B. Rohrbach Cg
Swiss American Historical Society Review
In the following study I have endeavored to identify and document the lives and descendants of all 752 Swiss and Germans who came from Bern, Switzerland and London, England in 1710 to found New Bern , North Carolina. There were approximately 177 families in the migration traveling on three ships, of whom 51 families were Swiss, 106 were German, and approximately 20 families died out entirely on the voyage so that we do not know their names or nationality . The much better known 1710 New York settlement involved 10 ships and 847 families, but although the New Bern settlement …

Swiss Migration To America In The 1730s: A Representative Family : The Pfister Family Of Hori, Canton Zurich And The Feaster Family In America, Hans Ulrich Pfister
Swiss American Historical Society Review
America or, more precisely stated, the British colonies in North America, was for the residents of Zurich of the 17th century a very distant region, about whose attributes the strangest information was circulated. The embodiment of the various colonies was Carolina, for whose settlement the recruiter's drum was beaten in Switzerland. The Neuenberger Jean Pierre de Pury solicited with a small tract for settlers for his newly founded settlement Purysburg in South Carolina and thereby created the impetus for a great emigration movement out of Canton Zurich . The living conditions which awaited the settlers in South Carolina were naturally …

The Christmas Tree And The Two Churches, Johannes V. Knudsen
The Christmas Tree And The Two Churches, Johannes V. Knudsen
The Bridge
Part of the Danish American heritage is the fact that there were, unfortunately, some believe, two separate Danish American Lutheran Church groups. Because of theological differences (and perhaps personality conflicts, as well) between these two groups, they remained separate entities from their complex beginnings in the latter half of the nineteenth century until mergers took place with a number of other ethnic Lutheran church groups in the early 1960s, culminating in the formation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in 1988. The histories of and differences between the two synods, the American Evangelical Lutheran Church and the United Evangelical …
