Sentenced To Be Hanged: The Tragic Story Of A Danish Immigrant, Peter D. Thomsen
Sentenced To Be Hanged: The Tragic Story Of A Danish Immigrant, Peter D. Thomsen
The Bridge
Several years ago, Thorvald Hansen who was then in
charge of the Danish Immigrant Archives at Grand View
College, Des Moines, Iowa, asked if I would be interested in
writing the Peter Mathiasen story. I had previously told him
that in my childhood home I had heard bits and pieces of this
tale and that what I remembered most was how intensely it
was discussed by some of the immigrant people with whom
my parents associated. Little did I realize they were talking
about something that happened fifteen years before my
birth.

Recollections From Our Voyage To America, Soren Pedersen
The Bridge
We departed from Limskov in Norup Sogn May 6, 1862,
to visit my sister, my brother-in-law, and my mother on my
home farm, and were there a couple of days before we took
leave of the whole family never to see them again in this life.
It was both a serious and a sad time.

Mary Jensen Dilberg wrote the following account, in
English, in 1972. She was born in Aarhus, Denmark, on
November 4, 1891, sent out to earn her own living at age 12
and journeyed to America by herself in 1911 where she
spent time in Red Lodge, Montana, Ord, Nebraska, and
finally settled in Bothell, Washington, near Seattle, where
she spent most of her adult life except for a four year return
to Nebraska from 1919 to 1923.

Dear L.
Just returned from the snow-covered mountain heights of the St. Gotthard on a long ski ride. Am spending a few hours in this beautiful place, which, however, is at present quite desolate. The lake, the Pilatus look wonderful. If nothing intervenes I shall be home in 4 weeks. Shall go to Basel tonight and later to Kilchberg for a few days.

Two beautiful and quiet days have already passed since we parted. The sea is so quiet and the sky so peacefully clear as to make one forget all dangers and sorrows. Besides, the pure air is so invigorating that I feel already much better and stronger than in New York, I am looking with confidence and pleasure to the future. I feel that my body and brain need a complete restoration and I will be the more vigorous and able to work afterwards. And how · about you? I still ·see the last looks from your dear eyes and the …

Letters From 1915 To The End Of The War, Othmar Ammann, Lilly Ammann
Swiss American Historical Society Review
My dear parents,
Tomorrow the last steamship that can bring you our Christmas greetings is leaving, so that means: hurry. Just a few words, but from the heart.
One is carried along here in the non-ending stream of business so much that one can hardly catch one's breath in order to appreciate the ideal side of life. However, with the approach of the holidays, spirits are lifted. With great excitement and wonderment, young and old await the festive days. What will Christmas bring, how will the New Year begin? This is what each one is asking himself and with thousands …

Finally I get to write you a few lines from duty. As Papa probably has already informed you, I went from Basel to Monthal, where I met Mama and Werner, as well as Rosa and Manja Labhart from Moscow. Werner was very happy. He is thin but looks strong and healthy. He did not want to answer my question of whether he would like to come back to America with me after the war. But I am decided about bringing him back with me. On the same evening I also visited Onkel Hermann and David in Zurich. I also met …

Glimpses From An Industrial Electrician's Lifetime, Ernest Thurkauf
Glimpses From An Industrial Electrician's Lifetime, Ernest Thurkauf
Swiss American Historical Society Review
My life's main line of work has been as an industrial maintenance electrician, though in early years I tried my hand as blacksmith's helper, arc and acetylene welder, coal mine laborer, lumber jack, farm hand, fruit picker, and other miscellaneous work. But it was as a trained electrician that I got my greatest joy in working especially in training men in my line of work. In my old years now, I have given much thought to what have been some very challenging jobs I had encountered as I struggled onward in this best of all possible. worlds, and these are· …
