Gertrude Hofmann Langer. The Story Of A Life, Edward G. Langer

Swiss American Historical Society Review

I was born on May 1, 1911 in Kttsnacht, Canton Zttrich, Switzerland. That day is a national holiday in Switzerland which is their equivalent of our Labor Day. It certainly was Labor Day for my mother, Marie Walder Hofmann. (December 22, 1890 - August 23, 1959). The name Kttsnacht means a kiss in the night. My name was a very common name in Switzerland at the time. I had no middle name. The Swiss spelling of my name is Gertrud.

Book Review: Überfahrten. Das Leben Der Margaretha Reibold (1809-1893) In Briefen. Zürich, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

The publication of Margaretha Mezger Reibold is a most welcome addition to the growing body of primary sources that highlight the migratory experiences of women. In a letter dated March 31, 1877, the historian, editor, and diplomat Heinrich Gelzer (1813-1889) of Basel had asked "his beloved friend,,: "Write for me a survey of the course of your life, inner and outer experiences, in the framework of six to seven letters,,(23).

Book Review: Schattenkrieg Gegen Hitler: Das Dritte Reich Im Visier Der Amerikanischen Geheimdienste, Christof Muenger Jun 2000

Book Review: Schattenkrieg Gegen Hitler: Das Dritte Reich Im Visier Der Amerikanischen Geheimdienste, Christof Muenger

Swiss American Historical Society Review

In the 1980' s the United States government decided to declassify the files of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) which was the organization preceding the CIA. Christoph Mauch, a German historian and Deputy Director of the German Historical Institute in Washington, DC, thoroughly studied the numerous now available documents. His research in the National Archives as well as in various other archives in the United States and Europe resulted in his Habilitationsschrift [a scholar's second study after the doctoral dissertation to make one eligible for a university position in Germany]. A shortened and revised version of the study has …

Book Review: By Wonders And By War. A Novel. Chicago: Swiss-American Historical Society, 1999. Vi, 508 Pp., Christopher Colias

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Often, historians neglect or embellish episodes of the past according to their own biases and viewpoints. Thus, history is a lattice-work of varying interpretations. Yet in Carol Williams' novel, the reader discovers that fiction is sometimes able to fill some of the gaps inherent in this historical lattice-work. Her work, although fictional, respectfully illuminates a contentious and paramount epoch of American history - the American Revolution. With meticulous research and an intimate familiarity with the South Carolina landscape, Williams describes the experience of three Swiss families struggling to make sense of a time in which their world seemed turned upside …


John Adams, The Second President Of The United States, And Switzerland, Paul Widmer Jun 2000

John Adams, The Second President Of The United States, And Switzerland, Paul Widmer

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Writing on a topic such as· John Adams and Switzerland', to a large extent means dealing with the roots of the American Constitution from a rather peculiar standpoint. In order not to mislead the reader about the modest importance of this undertaking, I would like to tell an anecdote at the outset.

Prefatory Note And Chronology, Leo Schelbert Feb 2000

Prefatory Note And Chronology, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Throughout 1999 the SAHS was involved in pursuing plans to establish a Swiss American Center in New Glarus, Wisconsin. Although the SAHS' involvement in the project has been terminated by the membership at the Annual Meeting of October 9, 1999 in Philadelphia, and although over eighty percent of the SAHS members polled agreed with that decision, it seems proper to present to the SAHS members a documentation of the events in the first issue of the SAHS Review of the year 2000, especially also of the steps taken by the SAHS representatives at the New Glarus meetings, E. Schmocker, the …

Swiss American Historical Society Review

This is in response to your message dated 8-20-99 and faxed 8-26-99. After much thought and discussion we have come to the conclusion that a further involvement of the SAHS in the planning of a Swiss American Center to be located in New Glarus has to be suspended to enable the SAHS President to consult by mail the members of the SAHS Board of Advisors as well as the SAHS membership in order to reach a decision whether the SAHS can be a partner in that project as now pursued. The extensive discussions of the past months and especially also …

Snow!, Enok Mortensen Jan 2000

Snow!, Enok Mortensen

The Bridge

The winter had been unusually mild. For many years, people had never seen anything like it. The old folks even thought that there was something wrong with such unusual weather. Coal dealers cursed and knocked on their barometers, but the temperature held above freezing and well into December no snow fell. In Grant Park, which Chicago had wrested from Lake Michigan, a faint sun kissed the faded grey lawn and warmed it enough so that fat wealthy women took out their yappy lap dogs. In long uneven rows the homeless lay in rags and stole a belated sleep well into …

Restless Fanatic:Mogens Abraham Sommer, 1829-1901, Thorvald Hansen

The Bridge

This account of the life and activities of a Danish religious fanatic who played a significant role in emigration has been prepared on the basis of materials available in this country. Further items are available in Denmark, but on the basis of what is known to be available, it is doubtful that this would make any appreciable difference. To my knowledge, this is the only English language story of his life.
