Dear Dr. Burckhardt:
During the research for a new book on Swiss federalism, I had the occasion to renew my acquaintance with a book which has probably received far less attention among those interested in Switzerland than it perhaps should have. The book in question is William Gorhan Rice, Law Among States in Federacy: A Survey of Decisions of the Swiss Federal Tribunal in Intercantonal Controversies (Appleton, Wisconsin: C.C. Nelson Publishing Company, 1959), the writing of which was subsidized, according to the author, by the Penrose Fund of the American Philosophical Society and the University of Wisconsin.

On Saturday, December 1, 1973, some thirty members attended the 1973 annual meeting of the SAHS at the Swiss Town House on 35 West 67th Street in New York City. It was a clear, sunny say which had made travelling pleasant and smooth. The Swiss Town House proved again to be a hospitable place to meet in, especially due to the expert hose, Mr. John Brunner. When the business meeting had closed somewhat earlier than anticipated, Mr. Brunner had quickly some excellent Swiss wine served, and also the luncheon was first-rate as to food and service.

From Saanen In The Canton Of Berne To Nipissing - A Little Known Episode Of Swiss Emigration To Canada, Emile-Henri Bovay
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Some two hundred miles north of Toronto on the road to Burk's Falls, just outside Magnetawan, is an old farm field, shoulder-high in hay. Tucked back in a corner of the field, barely visible from the road, is an old post archway. It is closed with pagewire fencing. Inside the fence, wild fern has all but totally obscured a pioneer graveyard, a memorial to Swiss settlers who helped to open up the country south of Lake Nipissing. Most of the inscriptions on the gravestones are still readable. he names they bear leave no doubt as to the Bernese origin of …

Born in 1887 in La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Le Corbusier moved to Paris in 1916 and later became a French citizen. He died in 1965 while swimming off the coast of Cote d'Azur.

Book Review: La Genese De Nova Friburgo. Emigration Et Colonisation Suisse Au Bresil 1817-1827, Leo Schelbert
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Nicoulin's work on the making of Nova Friburgo is a thoroughly researched and well-presented study, but somewhat limited in its interpretive dimensions. Manuscript materials in Swiss federal, state, and village archives have been extensively consulted as well as archives in Rio de Janeiro and in Nova Friburgo. The author has furthermore perused a great many printed sources all of which enabled him to reconstruct the story of an emigration which in 1819 involved over 2000 Swiss and had the active support of Swiss governments as well as of Brazilian authorities. A 70-page appendix offers the reader a useful sample of …

The Mormon Role In Irrigation Beginnings And Diffusions In The Western States: An Historical Geography, Kelly C. Harper
The Mormon Role In Irrigation Beginnings And Diffusions In The Western States: An Historical Geography, Kelly C. Harper
Theses and Dissertations
Irrigation has played an important part in the development of the Western States. Its beginnings have often been associated with the Mormon settlement in Utah. However, irrigation had its inception in the West long before the Mormons came to the Great Basin in 1847. The spatial extent of irrigation before this date included limited acreage in nearly every Western State.
Before their arrival in the Great Basin the Mormons had become acquainted with irrigation methods. Knowledge of irrigation had diffused to them primarily from the Spanish in the Southwest. Thus, they were well prepared to begin their irrigation enterprises in …

A History Of The Nauvoo Legion In Illinois, John Sweeney Jr.
Theses and Dissertations
The Nauvoo Legion was a branch of the Illinois state militia, located in Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois. To obey the state military service requirement, provide adequate protection for themselves, and display loyalty to the state, the inhabitants of Nauvoo organized a militia within their city. Having received necessary state approval, the citizens designated their militia the "Nauvoo Legion," which functioned from February, 1841 to January, 1845, when the Legion charter was repealed by the state legislature.
Organized and staffed mainly by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Legion was considered by some opponents as a …
