Iii. Switzerland And The Era, Hanna Widrig
Iii. Switzerland And The Era, Hanna Widrig
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
A little over a year ago the Swiss voters surprised the world with the acceptance of a referendum that added an equal rights amendment to the Swiss Federal Constitution. Is there an explanation for this sudden change of the rather conservative Swiss heart? Why was it that the Swiss equal rights amendment passed within the short span of ten years after Swiss women got the right to vote, when American women who have been enfranchised since 1921 were unsuccessful in the same pursuit? What was the Swiss strategy for this outcome, and what has been done in the past year …

Ii. Karl Herzog, The Historian As Activist: An Episode From The Time Of The Sonderbund, Sabine Jessner
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
The Swiss historian Karl Herzog was one of the innumerable middle-class intellectuals who exercised an influential role on European liberal politics in the first half of the nineteenth century. Many scholars have analyzed the participation of the bourgeoisie in political life, and they reach novel definitions concerning membership of this intellectual group within the middle class. Historians such as Robert R. Palmer, Alfred Cobban, L.C.B. Seaman and Lenore O'Boyle have devoted particular attention to this concern. For example, the British historian Seaman has cautioned his readers to substitute the expression "professional classes" or "liberal professions" wherever he encounters the word, …

Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz (1878-1947), Ursula Schoeni
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Ramuz, Charles-Ferdinand (1878-1947), Swiss poet, novelist, and essayist, was born at Cully, a small town on Lake Geneva in the canton of Vaud. After completing his studies at the University of Lausanne, he went to Paris, where, from 1902 to 1914, he lived in obscurity and wrote four volumes of poetry in addition to eight novels and two collections of short stories, none of which attracted attention outside a small circle of friends and admirers. Longing for an atmosphere truly congenial to his artistic temperament, he decided to go back to his native Cully. This proved to be a momentous …

Albin Zollinger (1895-1949), Rolf Kieser
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Zollinger, Albin (1895-1949), Swiss poet, novelist, and essayist, was born in Rüti, canton Zürich, where he spent his life as a schoolteacher. Zollinger is probably the greatest lyric poet in 20th century Swiss-German literature. His poetical style shows a genuine relationship to the styles of Georg Trakl, Gottfried Benn, Wilhelm Lehmann, and Peter Huchel.

Introduction To The Special Newsletter Issue On Albert Gallatin, 1761-1849, Heinz K. Meier
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
This is the second time the Swiss American Historical Society devotes one of its Newsletters to Albert Gallatin. In April 1967 (Vol. III, No. 2), on the occasion of the issue of the l ¾ cent stamp dedicated to Gallatin (in Gallatin , Missouri, on January 30, 1967), we published two articles, one by Ambassador Felix Schnyder and one by Dr. Leo Schelbert, then assistant professor of history at Rutgers University, on the great Genevan-American. Now fifteen years later, we present another issue, with four contributions on our illustrious compatriot and fellow-immigrant. There is no special event or anniversary to …

Jacob Maag (1881-1980), Swiss Stone Carver And Sculptor In The Midwest, Heinz K. Meier
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Jacob Maag was born in Neunkirch, Canton Schaffhausen, in 1881 and came to Omaha, Nebraska, in 1905. From 1905 to 1961 he worked as a stonecutter and sculptor mainly in Omaha, but also in other parts of the Midwest. In 1962 he became the subject of an oral history project of the Greater Omaha Historical Society as a "pioneer citizen" in their "I Remember" series. The Greater Omaha Historical Society is now defunct, but thanks to Walter Wullschleger (see SAHS Newsletter, XVI, No. 1 (Jan. 1980), 31-36) we received a transcript of that interview. We are pleased to give the …

Papers Of Albert Gallatin: Project Description, Barbara Oberg
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
The publication of the writings of Albert Gallatin in selected printed volumes is both overdue and particularly timely. In order to come to an understanding of the formative years of the American republic, scholars need to have available the materials of the respected second-level political and administrative leadership of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Of this second-level group of American statesmen, few were so highly regarded and influential as Albert Gallatin. The aim of the present scholarly effort is to publish in a six volume annotated edition the most important public and private papers of a figure important …

Peter Lassen: Danish Pioneer Of California, Franklin D. Scott
Peter Lassen: Danish Pioneer Of California, Franklin D. Scott
The Bridge
"The Dane Peter Lassen," or " Peter Lassen, a Danish Blacksmith," appears in almost every memoir dealing with early northern California. His Danishness was obvious, though no one bothers to explain why. Was his speech the telltale feature? The man was almost thirty years of age when he left Denmark, and he had had no opportunity to learn English while his tongue was ductile. He came to California in the spring of 1840, at the beginning of a decade of decision. At that moment Indians inhabited the land, Russians were still established on the California coast, Mexicans held title to …

Language Transition And Danish Children's Schools In The U.S., Ejnar Farstrup
The Bridge
Very few Danish immigrants who came to the United States just prior to and immediately following the beginning of the Twentieth Century were acquainted with the English language. Immigrants of every ethnic group have countless tales, some comic and some rather serious, of the difficulties which befell them. Years after their arrival, most of them could regale themselve at length with stories of misinterpretations and the blending of language from their own experiences. A good sense of humor carried most of them through. Others succumbed to a nostalgia which drove them back to the homeland. Still others, who might have …
Life On Lilac Hill Sketches Of Karen And Chresten Pedersen's Prairie Years, Karen M. Kadgihn
Life On Lilac Hill Sketches Of Karen And Chresten Pedersen's Prairie Years, Karen M. Kadgihn
The Bridge
A jackrabbit was sunning himself on a rock in the warm March sun, stretched out and went to sleep. Suddenly a noise awakened him and he jumped quickly away at right angles to where the noise had originated. From a safe distance he stopped, sat up to see what had disturbed his siesta, wiggling his ears and nose as he watched another of those strange creatures going by his sunning rock. What were they? They had been passing in increasing numbers, and had actually made parallel tracks right by his rock!
Danish Farmers In The Middle West, Erik Helmer Pedersen
Danish Farmers In The Middle West, Erik Helmer Pedersen
The Bridge
A former Danish carpenter and farmer, Niels Madsen, his wife, Anna, and their six children, aged 15 to 3 years, were among the passengers on board the America wooden paddle-steamer "Northern Light" when the ship on May 1, 1869, left Copenhagen. It was bound for New York, but enroute it had to call at Gothenburg in Sweden and Christiana in Norway. The Madsen family had left their native village of Klippinge at Stevns, in the company of about 30 other emigrants, headed by a so-called "yankee," Mr. A. Clausen, who during the spring of 1869 had formed an emigration group. …
