Alfred Gozenbach And The Making Of The Valley Queen Cheese Factory Of Milbank, South Dakota, Patricia J. Frazee
Alfred Gozenbach And The Making Of The Valley Queen Cheese Factory Of Milbank, South Dakota, Patricia J. Frazee
Swiss American Historical Society Review
At the age of ninety-one, Alfred Gonzenbach, co-founder of Valley Queen Cheese, Milbank, South Dakota, still projects many of the qualities it took for _him as a young man of twenty-two to pack up, leave his home in Switzerland, and journey to America. He is witty, willing to tackle new adventures, unwilling to let old age's minor and major ailments get him down, and possesses an uncanny memory for dates and figures. He still has the twinkle in his eyes that helped him win the heart of Gertrude "Trudy" Hauser, his wife, over 58 years ago. The spirit that kept …

Swiss American Historical Society Review
We are all aware of the phenomenon known as the "roots" revival which commenced in the 1960s. This occurred almost simultaneously with the ethnic revival known as "the new ethnicity." Again, there was not only national interest in roots and ethnicity, but there was also official recognition and legitimation of ethnicity.

Book Review: Yodeling In Dairyland: A History Of Swiss Music In Wisconsin., Philip V. Bohlman
Swiss American Historical Society Review
One of the most striking indexes of ethnic identity is the extent to which an ethnic group is able to demonstrate that its significance in the history of a region is greater than its number. I've never known whether this was an advantage or disadvantage to Swiss-Americans, whose numbers, after all, have rarely overwhelmed those of other ethnic communities. Southern Wisconsin, nevertheless, has long offered Swiss-Americans the exception that many took as proof of the rule. In Green county, particularly in the towns of New Glarus and Monroe, numbers were on the side of Swiss-Americans, creating for them what James …

Swiss American Historical Society Review
As most immigrants, we have readily adopted the main holidays celebrated in the United States. Thus, the family gets together at Thanksgiving for a festive meal. During our last Thanksgiving dinner, my youngest grandson, a first grader, animatedly explained how he participated in a class project. They vigorously shook cream, milk and sugar until they had butter, which was then used in the preparation of their Thanksgiving lunch. This provoked me to relate my experience as a kid about his age in using the "Ankemiili" (butter mill). When I had finished the story, my younger daughter exclaimed: "I never knew …

To Have Revenge On The Self-Righteous University: Pietism And Religious Doubt In Sophus Keith Winther's Beyond The Garden State, John M. Nielsen
The Bridge
In the spring of 1978, Arizona Quarterly published what
was to be the last of Sophus Keith Winther's scholarly
articles. Entitled, "The Emigrant Theme," this essay in many
ways was a summation of Winther's thoughts, not only regarding
the experience of Scandinavian-Americans as told in
literature, but more importantly of his reflections regarding
the whole of human experience. For him, emigration was the
great human story, stretching from the dawn of humankind
in the Olduvai Gorge to a foreboding present. It was the
story of the Israelites wandering in the wilderness; it was the
myth of the American westward movement. …

Scandinavians settled with those of their own kind and
language, being drawn by relatives and friends who had
gone before them, but also through newspapers circulated
among them. Den Danske Pioneer was widely read among
Danes and may well have been the source of information
about the settling of northeastern Montana. Mr. E. F.
Madsen, an immigrant and intellectual who had made a
scouting trip to that area about 1905 urged other Danes to
settle together and establish a Danish colony.

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.

This is the story of my Danish grandfather whom I never
knew except through infrequent stories from my father. I
asked my father Aaron to write a family history about his
dad, but he never did. I never found out why he wouldn't. I
wondered about my Thisted grandparents before and after
both my parents died, so I decided to piece the puzzle
together as best I could, while several uncles and aunts were
still alive.

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.
