It was my brother's wedding day and, since I was best man in the wedding, I took a day off from work and went to Burgdorf. Ernst Josi said, "Paul, since you go through Bern, why don't you go to the American Embassy and apply for a visa to go to America?

Growing Up In Burgdorf, Paul Grossenbacher

Swiss American Historical Society Review

When old age starts t:o creep up on you, start looking back. You will be amazed how many beautiful memories will come back to light. That is what I am trying to do, look back and try Ito find old memories. I was born into a family of two sisters and five brothers; no more children were born to my parents, so I stayed the youngest one and a mother's little boy.

Preparing For A Career, Paul Grossenbacher

Swiss American Historical Society Review

At the end of the fifth school year, we all had the opportunity to take an intelligence test and, if you passed that test, you then could go to secondary school, which is similar to high school here. Even though you were only a sixth grader, the subjects were algebra, physics, chemistry, and foreign languages. It is very important in Switzerland that one speaks several languages because in Switzerland, a country less than one-third the size of the state of Wisconsin, four official languages are spoken. About 19% speak a real good French, about 10% are Italian speaking, only 1% …

Managing A Farm In France, Paul Grossenbacher

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Getting Married, Paul Grossenbacher

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Well, I was a farmer, and married farmhands were preferred over single men, so we talked about getting married. I sent that news back to Switzerland, but my oldest brother was not too happy about it.

Family Joys And Sorrows, Paul Grossenbacher

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Our two boys were only one year apart in age, and somehow we had to keep them busy. We bought nice accordions for each and had them take lessons.

Leaving The Farm, Paul Grossenbacher

Swiss American Historical Society Review

It was good to be back home again, but Verena enjoyed her first trip to Switzerland very much and she has made about five more trips since. She could learn where her ancestors came from. I was the owner of a farm then, and it was also the dairy which supplied New Glarus and later Monticello with milk. It was a good business, but we all really had to work too hard in those days. But we made a little money, and the day came when we could burn the mortgage.

The Heart Of American History (Book Review), Edward L. Ayers

History Faculty Publications

Review of the book, The Heart of American History by James McPherson. Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 1989.

The era of the Civil War and Reconstruction remains the crucible of American history, the trial that decisively defined this country and its self-perceived mission. The American people seem to recognize that fact, for no era in our history attracts the general reading public as does that between 1861 and 1877.
