Swiss Officers And Prominent Personalities
Swiss Officers And Prominent Personalities
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The United States census of 1860 listed 53,327 Swiss-born residents who represented 1.3 percent of the foreign-born in the nation. John (Johannes) Hitz, Sr. ( I 797- 1864), Swiss Consul General from 1853- 1864 in Washington, D.C., estimated the number of Swiss serving during the Civil War in the Union Army at 6,000. In his 1862 register of names, he listed 537 Swiss in the military. In 1863, he included an additional 302 men. He presented no separate lists for 1861 , 1864, and 1865. Paul de Valliere stated that 4,000 Swiss served in the Union Army in his monumental …

Foreword A Forgotten Chapter Of Our Military History, David Vogelsanger
Foreword A Forgotten Chapter Of Our Military History, David Vogelsanger
Swiss American Historical Society Review
More Swiss participated in the American Civil War than in any other foreign conflict except the Battle of Marignano in 1515 and Napoleon's Russian Campaign of 1812. This work has rescued this important and little-known fact from oblivion, and it is a privilege to introduce this concise study by my friend, Heinrich L. Wirz, and his collaborator, Florian A. Strahm. Mostly as volunteers, the Swiss fought either to maintain the Union, or they risked their lives for the independence of the South. These men believed it was honorable to fight for their new homeland where they had migrated in search …

Portraying “The Responsible Man”: A Historiographical Analysis Of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Greer Bates, Dr. Paul Kerry
Portraying “The Responsible Man”: A Historiographical Analysis Of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Greer Bates, Dr. Paul Kerry
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The roots of this project stem from years of research into the life and theological work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer—a German pastor who contributed to 20th century Christian theology and who was executed for his work in movements opposing the Third Reich in Nazi Germany. As I have read biographies and articles in order to better understand Bonhoeffer’s writings and actions, I began to notice that scholars often take different approaches to portraying Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Some authors choose to highlight aspects of his life that others virtually ignore; some books emphasize elements of his theology that other biographies leave untouched. Over …

Jo Marries Goethe: Dr. Bhaer As The Goethean Ideal In Louisa May Alcott’S Little Women, Megan Armknecht, Paul Kerry
Journal of Undergraduate Research
In February 2014, I received an ORCA grant to work on my Honors Thesis, “Jo Marries Goethe: Dr. Bhaer as the Goethean Ideal in Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women.” I had found resonances between Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and the character of Dr. Bhaer in Little Women, and I wanted to explore whether these connections held any ground and if I could make a case for Dr. Bhaer as Louisa May Alcott’s representation of the Goethean ideal. I applied for an ORCA grant in order to travel to Harvard to conduct research in Houghton Library’s Special Collections, which …

In The World But Not Of It: Responses Of Lds Leaders To The Vietnam War, Luke Miller
FHSS Mentored Research Conference
This poster presents a summary of original research based on public addresses given by LDS leaders during the Vietnam War era. It identifies and describes four different ideological perspectives on the Vietnam War that high-ranking LDS leaders publicly advocated during these years. Given the enormous amount of influence that LDS leaders in the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve have over Mormons, an analysis of their views is critical to understanding the beliefs and opinions of LDS members. Understanding the main points of agreement and disagreement among LDS leaders serves as a starting point to elucidate the evolution …

A Brief History Of The Relationship Between The Royal House Of Hahs Burg And The Swiss Confederation, Dwight Page
Swiss American Historical Society Review
When the v1s1tor to Vienna v1s1ts the royal palace of the Hofburg, he will note, inscribed on numerous pillars and monuments, the following inscription carved into the crest of the House of Habsburg: Austriae Est lmperare Orbi Universo or Alles Erdereich ist Osterreich Untertan, meaning "The Entire Earth is Subject to the House of Austria." Never has there been a more true declaration, for in the sixteenth century, during the reign of the Habsburg Emperor Charles V, the sun indeed never set on the Habsburg Empire

The intent of this article is to impart information on the nineteenth-century Swiss artist Ferdinand Arnold Brader (1833- 1901) , who was born on December 7, 183 3, to Johann Baptist Brad er (1795-1842) and Anna Maria Steiner [Brader] 1 (1801-1859) , in village house no. 51 in Kaltbrunn (see Figure l).2The location of the

Natur, Gnade, Und "Nein!" Karl Barth And Emil Brunner: Swiss Theologians In Conflict, Samuel J. Youngs
Natur, Gnade, Und "Nein!" Karl Barth And Emil Brunner: Swiss Theologians In Conflict, Samuel J. Youngs
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The monumental nature of Calvin's theological career forever left its impress and guaranteed a perennial home for "Reformed theology" in Switzerland. Idiosyncratically, Reformed theology does not refer to some universal, systematic "theology of the Reformation" (Reformation theology, far from being universal, could be quite conflictual and polymorphous2) but rather to specific and dominant tropes of most Reformation Christian thought, perhaps best summarized by the solae of the Lutherans: Sola Fidei (Faith Alone), Sola Gratia (Grace Alone), Solus Christus (Christ Alone), Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone).3 If we wanted to distill this theological trajectory in one sentence, it could …

History Seen Through Multiple Lenses: Leo Schelbert's Contributions To The Swiss-American Historical Society, Marianne Burkhard Osb Jcl
Swiss American Historical Society Review
L ooking over the work of our Society over the past 40 years, it becomes quickly evident that Leo Schelbert has shaped it in important ways almost from the beginning of the Society's reactivation in 1963- 65. After contributing an article on Albert Gallatin in 1967, he became deeply involved: as co-editor of the Review with Heinz K. Meier (1970- 1986), as President (1975-1980), as sole editor of the Newsletter/Review (1980-2002), co-editor with H. Dwight Page (2002-2006), as editor of the society's book series (1981-2013), and as member of the editorial board for the book publications since 2013 . During …

“I Am I”: The Allegorical Bastard In Shakespeare’S King John, Alaina Bupp
“I Am I”: The Allegorical Bastard In Shakespeare’S King John, Alaina Bupp
Quidditas
Shakespeare’s King John provides readers with a particularly interesting, though relatively unexamined character: Philip Falconbridge, the bastard. This character exists somewhere between the allegorical forbears of medieval morality plays and the intensely interior specificity of the likes of Hamlet. Philip begins the play with a specific, though fictional, identity, but consciously decides to become allegorical. We can see this transformation at the intersection of text and context, of the words spoken by Philip as he becomes Bastard (the allegorical figure) and the First Folio’s construction of that transformation. Bastard employs particular rhetoric to firstly shed his old, specific identity and …
The Sin Eater: Confession And Ingestion In The Romance Of Renard, Elizabeth Dolly Weber
The Sin Eater: Confession And Ingestion In The Romance Of Renard, Elizabeth Dolly Weber
Quidditas
The “Confession of Renard,” Branch XIV of the twelfth-century animal epic Roman de Renart (Romance of Reynard the Fox) explores the potential risks of the rite of confession, including the danger of whetting the appetite of the sinner by having him recount and re-live his delicious past sins. The fact that Renard, the “repentant” sinner, actually eats his confessor, suggests not only that merely talking about sin, particularly sexual sin, is a perilous business, but also that confession, like digestion, is a transformational process for both the penitent and the confessor.
Sacred Or Profane Pleasures? Erotic Ceremonies In Eighteenth-Century French Libertine Fiction, Marine Ganofsky
Sacred Or Profane Pleasures? Erotic Ceremonies In Eighteenth-Century French Libertine Fiction, Marine Ganofsky
Religion in the Age of Enlightenment
In France, the Age of Enlightenment was also an age of literary levity that saw a proliferation of erotic and pornographic narratives in which philosophy often fused with sexual gratification. The famous Choderlos de Lados with his Liaisons dangereuses (1782) and the infamous Marquis de Sade, along with authors such as Crebillon and Vivant Denon, epitomize this moment in French literary history, when erotic freedom paired with intellectual liberty. This "libertine" literature, as it is known, is characterized by its focus on fleshly desires and pleasures. The subject matter of libertine novels, short stories, poems, and paintings is the rendezvous …

Religion in the Age of Enlightenment
As the editor of an academic annual, I have the pleasure of interacting with scholars from across the United States and the world. While most of these interactions take place via e-mail, I feel as if I get to know RAE's contributors, in addition to their work, as I take a manuscript from submission to publication. Of course, some interactions are more personal than others. This was particularly true of my email exchanges with Adrianne Wadewitz, who died in a rock-climbing accident during the production of this volume. I am pleased to include her excellent essay on the ways eighteenth-century …
