George Champlain Sibley: Shady Dealings On The Early Frontier, Tomas C. Danisi

The Confluence (2009-2020)

Danisi offers an analysis of Sibley’s time as assistant factor at Fort Bellefontaine under factor Rodolphe Tillier, a man of strong political connections and elastic ethics. Tillier fired Sibley, Danisi argues, because he discovered and revealed Tillier’s shady business dealings while a government official; ultimately, Sibley was exonerated and even promoted to factor of the newly formed Fort Osage.

Trans-Atlantic Crossings- Past And Present, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

On September 24, 1992, my wife and I were waiting at one of the

finger docks at Zurich airport. As the president of the airport's former

building commission, I had come to know its plans intimately. But now I

was more interested in the feelings of those waiting for the transatlantic

flight. Or might 'feelings' be too strong a word for passengers leisurely

sprawling in their seats, reading or dozing as if they were riding to work

on one of Zurich's commuter trains?

Epprecht's Crossing, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

At Leo Schelbert's house in Evanston, Illinois, we looked through

those sources available at Leo's university library in which traces of the

Epprechts were most likely to be found. In the course of this process I

came across another Dorlikon ancestor, Ulrich Singer, a descendant of a

family doubly represented in the village's heraldic church window from

1685.

Columbus Day, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

On October 12 I drove out to the magnificent autumn forests

by Pennsylvania. I chose highway 22, a route I had been familiar

with since the days at Lehigh University. Once more I was struck

by the speed and the distances mastered nowadays. Unlike us, the

Dorlikon emigrants had measured the distances they covered by the

hour. Carolina, for example, was '2200 hours on sea' from Rotterdam.

In order really to appreciate our modern standards of living, one has

to visualize what since then pioneers have achieved in America- not

only the independence from the British Crown, but also the …

Second Harvest, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

We both felt that in order to compare our findings we ought to get together. Unfortunately, Mrs. Ebright's husband was in New York for two days, but she agreed to meet me the following day, at Lancaster's Historical Archives. Working there, we discovered that Jacob had opened an inn. The next day we went over to the Lebanon County Historical Society Archives, for it was in that area that "Jacob Epprieht of Bethel Township in the Country of Lancaster" had acquired land for his inn (at that time the lay-out of the lots looked different from today). At these archives …

Second Harvest: The State Of Research 2007- An Update, Konrad Basler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

The author of this personal report did not stop research on his

native Dorlikon with the present volume, reedited unchanged. Questions

of local conditions and family relationships, economic limitations in the

17th and everyday life in the 18th century filled three more volumes (see

the concluding essay by Leo Schelbert). Additional light was shed on

the causes for emigration, and a second research trip to the USA in 1996

yielded many a missing puzzle stone towards the picture of the Dorlikon

emigrants. These new facts have been assembled here under the headings

of the emigrant families. Reference is made to …
