Ulrich Braker, The Life Story And Real Adventures Of The Poor Man Of Toggenburg, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Have you not sometimes wished to know in some detail how your (Swiss} ancestors, say of the 18th century, have lived, what kind of daily or unusual troubles they have faced, and what hopes and fears have sustained them? Derek Bowman's translation of t he autobiography of the "Poor Man of Toggenburg" makes just such a portrait available to American readers. It was painted by a writer who was unusual less in his external life-path than in his clarity of vision and in his power of description.

History Of The Swiss American Historical Society, Heinz K. Meier May 1973

History Of The Swiss American Historical Society, Heinz K. Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The decade of the 1930's was a difficult time for most Americans with the depression blighting untold families and individuals. The Swiss Americans, like other ethnic groups, had an additional cause for concern inasmuch as the decade was characterized by isolationism in foreign relations and a wave of nativism at home. The introduction of immigration quotas in the 1920's indicated that the United States prepared itself to put obstacles in the way of free access to the country. Due to the depression the quotas were not even used up by most European countries. The "distant magnet" had lost much of …

The Mysteries Of God, Noel B. Reynolds Mar 1973

The Mysteries Of God, Noel B. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

LDS discourse commonly uses the term mysteries to refer to truths that we don’t know or shouldn’t worry about. But the scriptures—and particularly the Book of Mormon—speak of the mysteries very positively, as something we should seek to know. The scriptural terminology appears to refer to the things of God that the faithful come to know—things that nonbelievers never understand.

Remarks About This Newsletter, Heinz K. Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Due to necessity as well as a series of unforeseeable circumstances, I was the only officer of the Swiss American Historical Society to attend our annual meeting in New Orleans. This is the reason why the report about the meeting is written by me rather than the secretary or another officer.

Swiss In New Orleans, John Geiser Iii Feb 1973

Swiss In New Orleans, John Geiser Iii

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

In April of 1718, Pierre Le Moyne , Sieur de Bienville, Commandant General of the French colony of Louisiana, founded the City of New Orleans. For the next half century this was to be in reality a French city, named for the Regent and with streets called Toulouse, Chartres, Dumaine, Bourbon, Dauphine, and Rue Royale laid out according to the proper French plan around the Place d'Armes. The buildings were of a definite French style and the cultural and social lives of the settlers were as French as they could make them. The most popular French governors were the ones …

History Of The Swiss American Historical Society, Heinz K. Meier Feb 1973

History Of The Swiss American Historical Society, Heinz K. Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

On Independence Day 1927, on the occa sion of the Swiss Singing Festival, a group of Swiss Americans living in the Chicago area decided to found a historical society. The idea had been in the air, so to speak. For some time , persons of different background and living in different parts of the country had been working diligently in that direction by encouraging existing Swis s societies to add another dimension to their activities and by gathering materials about "famous Swiss." They were annoyed and concerned "by the fact that every outstanding person of Swiss origin was claimed by …

The History Of Medical Relations Between Switzerland And The Usa, Erwin H. Ackerknecht Feb 1973

The History Of Medical Relations Between Switzerland And The Usa, Erwin H. Ackerknecht

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

When in a symposium concerning the medical relations of Switzerland to other countries reports are given on the relations of Swiss medicine to German, French, Italian, English and Austrian medicine, the reasons are obvious. But it might be at first sight surprising that the USA are added to this traditional list of neighbors. This surprise is partly a consequence of outdated technological and geographical thought. Actually, through the airplane, New York is as close to Zurich as by railroad are Hamburg or Paris. We should become conscious of this new situation. But partly doubts remain legitimate. Have the relations between …
