Memories Of World War Two, Alice Schelbert
Memories Of World War Two, Alice Schelbert
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Each family was obligated to get a plot of land in order to grow vegetables, potatoes, and Indian corn. I abhorred working in field and garden, but luckily my younger sister enjoyed such tasks. Therefore I did the household chores, mended clothes and, for instance, spent hours undoing the runs in nylon stockings with a special hair-thin hook. The stockings were so expensive, so special, and so dearly beloved, yet one was not to wear them with runs.
Peter Moecklin And Peter Lehmann Pastors Of St. John's United Evangelical Church Of Addison, Illinois, Fran Horn
Swiss American Historical Society Review
In 1846 the congregation "The German United Evangelical Church of Addison, DuPage County, Illinois," which had no denominational affiliation but sought to include all German-speaking Protestants and any other believers in its fold, built the first church and parsonage, with Francis Hoffmann their first pastor. Most its members hailed from the village of Schale in the district of Tecklenburg in Hanover, then part of Prussia. Y~t in the summer of 1847 the Lutheran minister C. A. T. Selle of Chicago initiated the expulsion of all non-Lutherans from the congregation which was completed by 1848. By the end of 1848, therefore, …

Swiss American Historical Society Review
This is my mother's story of her Swiss family's immigration from Switzerland to Kentucky in 1895, and the story of her own American family. My mother, Ida Mooser Hattemer, dearly loved her native Switzerland, her family, and her Swiss relatives whom she talked about so much that her children felt as if they knew them intimately.

Raf Wings Over Florida: Memories Of World War Ii British Air Cadets, Willard Largent
Raf Wings Over Florida: Memories Of World War Ii British Air Cadets, Willard Largent
Purdue University Press Books
In the early 1940s, prior to the United States' entry into World War II, through the joint efforts of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill, British soldiers were sent to the United States for flight training. This collection gives first-person accounts of the men who learned the art of flying in a place far from their homeland, Florida. The stories provide a wonderful contrast between the two cultures and are told in the voices of British cadets, American cadets who trained with them, instructors, and other individuals who welcomed the British cadets into their homes and lives.
Building A Better Briton: Parliament's Push For State-Funded Secondary Schools, 1901-1903, Jason K. Burnett
Building A Better Briton: Parliament's Push For State-Funded Secondary Schools, 1901-1903, Jason K. Burnett
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
The first three years of the twentieth century were a crucial time in the development of state-funded education in England. The rising tide of Germanophobia in the wake of the South African War impressed Conservative politicians with the need to improve England's educational system in order that she remain competitive in the world. With the aid of a very few Liberal imperialists, the Conservatives were able to shepherd through a series of bills which established state funded secondary schools throughout all of England, an expansion on the system created by the Education Act of 1870 in terms of both curriculum …

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

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).

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.

One Mistress And No Master: Elizabeth I And Her Use Of Public Personas To Gain And Maintain Power, Michael J. Davye
One Mistress And No Master: Elizabeth I And Her Use Of Public Personas To Gain And Maintain Power, Michael J. Davye
History Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the evolution of the personas that Elizabeth used to gain, hold, and wield power during her reign as Queen of England. These personas were most likely conscious constructs created to deal with the problems Elizabeth faced as ruler of England. She had been bastardized by her father, Henry VIII, and, therefore, was considered by many to have no legitimate claim to the throne. But this problem was almost insignificant in contrast to the problems she faced trying to assert her authority as a female monarch. Elizabeth realized the prevailing wisdom of the …

Madjaristan: The Ottomans In Hungary 1520-1686, Matthew Pearsall
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
The relationship between the Ottoman Empire and Europe has traditionally been viewed in terms of conflict. History books are full of accounts of the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans and of Constantinople, as well as the conquest of Hungary and the ensuing conflict with the Habsburg Empire, which would stretch into the twentieth century. When the topic turns to questions outside the realm of warfare, however, things become murkier. While the many wars—as well as the occasional bout of peace—between the Ottomans and the West are focused on in detail, the role of the Ottomans in Europe outside of war …
