Limited Horizons On The Oregon Frontier: East Tualatin Plains And The Town Of Hillsboro, Washington County, 1840-1890, Richard P. Matthews

Dissertations and Theses

The evolution of the small towns that originated in Oregon's settlement communities remains undocumented in the literature of the state's history for the most part. Those accounts that do exist are often amateurish, and fail to establish the social and economic links between Oregon's frontier towns to the agricultural communities in which they appeared. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate an early settlement community and the small town that grew up in its midst in order to better understand the ideological relationship between farmers and townsmen that helped shape Oregon's small towns.

Moving To The United States, Walter Angst

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

In July of 1951, I emigrated with my family to the United States. Today, I shudder when I think of our daring decision to abandon all familiar life, to bundle up two babies and a few belongings, and to trust our luck in a strange country. After all, I had only a vague promise of a job as cabinet-maker, only rudimentary knowledge of English, no money to speak of, and no prospect of getting help from anyone. Why did I change continent, language, culture, profession, home, and leave friends and relatives? The question has often been asked of me. Usually, …

Growing Up

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

I was born in Zlirich, right after the First World War, on October 16, 1919. I basically grew up as an only child, because my sister Irma is six years younger. My early childhood memories are happy ones. I remember all kinds of adventures with a band of other, mostly older children, involving such stunts as illegally riding down the rails into an immense clay pit in open rollingtrucks. It is a wonder we survived unscathed.

Gaining A Measure Of Success, Walter Angst

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

In the spring of 1943, I was able to win a job with a large firm at the Zlirich branch of the "Therma" company. The main plant was in Schwanden, Canton Glarus, and produced electrical bakery ovens, household stoves, as well as refrigerators and air conditioning systems. I was hired as a heliographist, for the copying of technical drawings. Very soon I advanced phenomenally within the firm and for eight years I worked in various positions. I served in the office of chief engineer, kept the time-clock records, did the payroll, supervised the travels of the service personnel, and administered …

Making It At The Smithsonian, Walter Angst

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Once I had a job at the Smithsonian Institution, I had to wait a whole year until my position opened, in January of 1968, and even then my position had first to be approved by Congress as at that time there was a hiring-freeze. I got hired as a "specialist for restoration" with Exhibits. We were a department of two people out of about 800. In order to justify my grade, I passed a mid-level exam, which was rather tough, as it was meant to be administered to generals, admirals, high level administrators, and Ph.Ds. Gordon, my supervisor, had difficulties …

From Zurich's "Therma" To Washington's Smithsonian: Autobiographical Sketch Of A Mid-Twentieth Century Swiss Immigrant, Walter Angst

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Both my parents were city dwellers displaced from rural Switzerland. In fact, all my grandparents came from agricultural villages. Yet, they all were "armigerous," that is, entitled to use armorial bearings, which is not unusual back home. My father, also called Walter, grew up in Btilach, at that time a small town in the Canton of ZUrich. He was a stone mason like his father, who ran a grave-stone business. I hardly knew my grandfather, who fell to his death from the steeple of one of the two churches while working on a Gothic window. What I do remember and …

Getting Re-Established, Walter Angst

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

My very first job was with a cabinet-maker called Marx, who had a tiny shop on 6th and K streets in Washington, D.C. He had three other young fellows working for him, one of whom spoke French. He could explain things to me. But coming from precision-minded Switzerland, I was not used to the sloppy ways these guys were doing cabinet work. And when I witnessed how they felt perfectly at ease banging an actual nail between the fence on a circular saw and the body of its grooved (metal) table, I was horrified. After three days I quit.

Enduring Apprenticeships, Walter Angst

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Since I was two years older than my school chums and knew that I could not afford to go on to higher education, I quit secondary school after the second year. My dream was to become a graphic artist, devising posters. My father was afraid for me: if I would indulge in an artist's life, I surely would go to pot! He proposed instead that I learn the trade of a barber or, as a concession, a cabinet-maker. Consequently, I was apprenticed to a master cabinetmaker who promptly dismissed me after a few weeks as being too weak. After a …
