Book Review: The American Century: Varieties Of Culture In Modern Times, Fred Jordan
Book Review: The American Century: Varieties Of Culture In Modern Times, Fred Jordan
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Western civilization today is very technologically proficient but lacks the dynamic and creative ideas needed to launch a new cultural revolution. Bereft of a unique vision, our post-modern culture nostalgically borrows from the past, mining especially the gems of modernism. This exciting book by Norman F. Cantor, Professor of History, Sociology and Comparative History at New York University, is replete with such incisive observations. The work covers the whole gamut of twentieth century cultural history. Its core is a stimulating chapter on modernism which includes literature, theater, dance, drama, music, the visual arts, the social and behavioral sciences, history, theology, …
Gemeindegeschichte Als Vergleichende Geschichte: The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In East Germany, Bruce W. Hall
Gemeindegeschichte Als Vergleichende Geschichte: The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In East Germany, Bruce W. Hall
Theses and Dissertations
From 1945 until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) endured the hardships of existing as a religious organization under a Communist regime. An evaluation of the LDS Church within the category of general and minority religions, which serves as a microcosmic evaluation of religion in the GDR, constitutes one part of this study. The uniqueness of the LDS Church and its experience - especially its American ties, ironically earlier a liability and later an asset - make it a candidate for a …

The United States And The Netherlands: A Study Of Early Cold War Cooperation, Michael R. Hirman
The United States And The Netherlands: A Study Of Early Cold War Cooperation, Michael R. Hirman
History Theses & Dissertations
This thesis examines the policy that the United States utilized between 1945 and 1950 to enlist Dutch support for post-war European organizations and the place of this relationship within United States overall Cold War policy. The Netherlands willingness to cooperate and further United States objectives significantly contributed to the development of economic reconstruction and military security in Western Europe. In addition the United States unprecedented vision for a multilateral defense treaty came to fruition in part through Dutch support and compliance. However, the Dutch also had to make some historic changes. The United States opposed the Dutch attempt to retake …

Northern Ireland Peace Talks: Endgames, Padraig O'Malley
Northern Ireland Peace Talks: Endgames, Padraig O'Malley
John M. McCormack Graduate School of Policy and Global Studies Publications
With days to go before the Northern Ireland peace talks come to a formal close, things are, to use the immortal words ofFluther in Sean O'Casey's play, The Plough and Stars, "in a state of chasis."
Months of interminable bickering, the unwillingness of some parties to directly talk with others, a process in which it often appears that the key players spend more time trying to get one another thrown out of the process than with trying to bring those who are outside in, the insidious slide to more volatile sectarianism as armed extremists on both sides take random …
"J'Accuse ...! Emile Zola, Alfred Dreyfus, And The Greatest Newspaper Article In History, Donald E. Wilkes Jr.
"J'Accuse ...! Emile Zola, Alfred Dreyfus, And The Greatest Newspaper Article In History, Donald E. Wilkes Jr.
Popular Media
Last month marked the centennial anniversary of the greatest newspaper article of all time. Strangely, the American print and broadcast media barely mentioned the article or its importance or the astonishing story surrounding it. The article, by Emile Zola, the great French novelist, appeared in a Paris literary newspaper, L'Aurore (The Dawn) on Thursday, Jan. 13, 1898, "an essential date in the history of journalism," according to historian Jean-Denis Bredin. Written in the form of an open letter to the President of France, the 4,000 word article, entitled J'Accuse! (I Accuse!), rightly has been judged a "masterpiece" of polemics and …
The Swiss In Utah: An Introduction, Douglas F. Tobler
The Swiss In Utah: An Introduction, Douglas F. Tobler
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Beginning in the mid-18.SOs, Swiss immigrants, virtually all converts from early successful Mormon proselyting in their homeland, began arriving in the Utah Territory. They became part of two larger immigrant streams: one composed of thousands--by the year 1900, some 115,000--of . fellow Swiss who, beginning in colonial times, had found new homes in the United States; and the other, the so-called "Gathering to Zion," the organized emigration of thousands of European Mormon converts, mostly from Protestant countries, in the last half of the nineteenth and the first decades of the twentieth century.

Serge Louis Ballif: A Swiss-American, Jae R. Ballif
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Over a dozen years ago, a young man entered my office. He was a stranger to me. He placed his briefcase on my desk, opened it, and brought out several old books. He talked rapidly, giving me information faster than I could assimilate it. I soon learned that the books were from the shelves of the library at the University of Bern in Switzerland, and that they were written by my ancestors. I also learned that Gabriel Jacob Ballif, my fourth great-grandfather, was the author of one of the books. It is entitled Systematic Physics, and was published in …

Case Studies In Early Swiss Immigration To Utah: The Mathis And Bryner Families, Paul K. Savage
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Hans Ulrich could not see his own hand waving in front of his face--that is, ever since the accident. Hans Ulrich Bryner, Jr., was a talented and prosperous young man. His father's family had moved to Wiedikon, a small village just a stone's throw across the river Sihl from Zürich, and in 1839 they had purchased a large home near the Center of town. Hans Ulrich Bryner, Sr., was a farmer by day, and a shoemaker by night, and through thrift, industry, and piety, the family had gained the respect of their neighbors. In 1846, Hans Ulrich, Sr., was granted …

The Kunz Family: Over A Hundred Years In Mormonism, Phillip R. Kunz, Paul A. Nielson
The Kunz Family: Over A Hundred Years In Mormonism, Phillip R. Kunz, Paul A. Nielson
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The focus of this paper is the Kunz Family, or the American descendants of Johannes Kunz and Rosina Katharina Klossner Kunz, our great-great-grandparents. Johannes was born on the 16th of September 1803 at Tschueppls in Zwischenflueh. in Diemtigen Canyon, Bern. Switzerland. Rosina was born on 9 December 1802 on the Blatten farm in Zwischenflueh. They were married in Diemtigen on the 9 February 1821. Johannes and one of his twin daughters were the first converts in the family to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). Two other children followed them into the Church and eventually the Mormon …

"The Mundane And The Transcendent: Excerpts From Letters Of Johannes & Clorinda Schmutz, 1900-1902", Richard Schmutz
Swiss American Historical Society Review
It isn't often that a hoard of old letters comes unexpectedly into a family's possession, but it happened in my family a few years ago at the passing of an uncle. Unknown to other descendants he had in his keeping a collection of letters that his parents--my paternal grandparents--exchanged during a proselyting mission grandfather served in Switzerland for his church, 1900-1902. A short while after uncle's funeral, the letters were entrusted by his spouse to my sister and copies have since become available to family members and taken their rightful place of importance in the family legacy.
"Introduction" To European Immigrants In The American West: Community Histories, Frederick C. Luebke
"Introduction" To European Immigrants In The American West: Community Histories, Frederick C. Luebke
Department of History: Faculty Publications
European immigrants are the forgotten people of the American West. Their stories are not told in the many books, paintings, and movies that have created the mythic West. Immigrants did not easily fit the image of the West as the bastion of unfettered individualism and self-reliance-a region peopled by the free, brave, and pure-battling against the urbanized, industrialized, a,nd economically dominant East. Nor do European immigrants populate the pages of frontier history. Ever since Frederick Jackson Turner opened the field a hundred years ago, general histories of the American frontier have tended to ignore them. Grounded on the Turnerian notion …

Henry Norris And The Boleyn Faction: 1528-1536, Jeff Lavender
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
This work details primarily the last nine years of the life of Henry Norris, a British court figure during the reign of Henry VIII. His career in Tudor England developed from and through his role in the Privy Chamber, which was a department of court operating in the king’s private suite of rooms. Norris was the most prestigious of the chamber groomsmen who took care of the king’s daily needs and personal care. As chief groomsman or Groom of the Stool, Norris also played a significant part in the distribution of offices through patronage and through his influence with the …

Danebod: A Tradition Of Strength And Spirit, Ann Svendsen
The Bridge
The Danes have always expressed their joys by having
festivals. Fastelavns (Fest before Lent) is celebrated on
Shrove Tuesday . The Fifth of June, a traditional celebration,
remembers the day Denmark got its first constitution and
became a democracy. America's patriotism and freedom are
celebrated on the Fourth of July. The bounties of agriculture
are celebrated with the annual Harvest Festival. Christmas is
celebrated not only in the majesty and solemnity of a candlelight
church service but by dancing around a huge tree when
the children also recieve bags of candy, apples and nuts,
and gifts.

Sophus K. Winther, Barbara Howard Meldrum
The Bridge
Like Wallace Stegner, Sophus Keith Winther feels uncomfortable with the label "Western writer." For Stegner, the label too often smacks of horse-opera: outworn myths that lacked historical basis to begin with. Winther's objection has less to do with the subject matter, more to do with themes and character: regionalism-whether Western or Southers, or Wessex-too often exploits superficial traits of locality, whereas enduring literature reveals the universal drama of the human condition ("The Limits of Regionalism"). Stegner and Winther agree, however, that a writer should begin with what he or she knows best; if one's experience is Western, then Western regionalism …
Breaking Ground In The Promised Land: Mary Lund's Letters Home To Denmark From Canada, March-September, 1926
The Bridge
I knew my Grandma Lund as a strong person. She was my Dad's mother, mary, the "tough" grandmaother my parents called on to babysit my older sister, Laurette, and me when they would travel for more than a few days. Mary Lund was a large person, a feature which worked against her in the years I knew her. Her legs were thick and chronic arthiritis did not allow her to walk without discomfort; she remained ever stoic, never complaining even as she winced in obvious pain. She insisted on respect for elder and a strict code of manners at the …

Oregon Danish Colony: Ethnic Assimilation In Junction City, 1902-1952, Gerald Rasmussen, Otto Larsen
The Bridge
"A most desired place for Danish folks to settle." That
keynote launched the campaign to attract Danes to Junction
City. Who was the herald? What were the tidings?
The records are not particularly informative about A. C.
Nielsen. The Junction City Times only used the initials "A. C."
to refer to him. According to his great-grandson, Alfred
Christensen, his first name was Andreas and his middle
name was Christian, both common names in Denmark.
