President's Report
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Over the past year, our on-going projects have progressed, although a bit slowly. While the publisher had promised to have the Frey Letters out last Spring, the book is only now coming off the press. Patience was also the word with regard to our proposals for the CH-91 exhibit since the US visit of a representative of the organizing committee was delayed from Spring to early Fall. Professor Erdmann Schmocker was, however, able to establish valuable contacts while in Switzerland during the summer.

This issue of the SAHS Newsletter contains, first, the minutes and reports of the annual meeting that provide valuable insight into the present state of the Society. It offers, second, the text of two addresses, one on the Swiss political system, the other on the status of women in Swiss politics. They were given by National Councillor Verena Grendelmeier in the context of her trip to the United States that was sponsored by the SAHS with the generous support of Pro Helvetia and the Swiss Benevolent Society of Chicago.

Women In Swiss Politics, Verena Grendelmeier
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
You all know that Switzerland is that strange, little country in the centre of Europe. It is the place, where cheese has tremendous holes; where the snow-white Alps compete with dark brown mountains of chocolate; where every aborigine keeps his alphorn under the bed and every morning gets up - yodelling - and then, punctually, after a critical glance at his watches (and swatches that cover his left arm up to the elbow and beyond) hurries to his place of work - (you guessed it) - the bank, of course. Above all else it is the country that pretends being …

Media And Politics, Verena Grendelmeier
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Who governs Switzerland? ls our country run by the politicians or is it run by the media? To make this clear right away: The answer is, neither by the one nor by the other, as I hope my expose, by assessing the relative roles of politics and politicians and of the media, will demonstrate.

Beyond National Concerns: A Limnologist And World Peace, Arthur D. Hasler
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
I have just returned from a four month tour of duty in Germany where I had opportunity to talk with a fair cross section of Germans and to visit some biological laboratories. In Munich I visited the Zoologisches Institut built by Rockefeller for Professor K. van Frisch. It was here van Frisch and his students investigated the problems of sensory physiology: hearing, color vision, smell, taste, "Schreckstoff" in fish; here also was produced a classic work in animal behavior, "Die 'Sprache' der Bienen," an experimental analysis of the methods of communication among bees. This Institut is badly bombed; only the …
Book Review: An American Apprenticeship: The Letters Of Emil Frey 1860-1865, Shirley J. Burton
Book Review: An American Apprenticeship: The Letters Of Emil Frey 1860-1865, Shirley J. Burton
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
In the autumn of 1860, twenty-two-year-old Emil Frey left his native Switzerland for America, apparently under the shadow of an impending scandal, possibly a duel. He arrived in the U.S. at a time when the economy was in a deep slump, and finding himself unable to get work, Frey enlisted in the Union Army in July, 1861. Despite the brutalizing experiences of the war, which included a year and a half as a prisoner of the Confederates, young Frey's arduous American "apprenticeship," as editor Rappolt describes his sojourn, served him well. Returning to Switzerland after the war, he spent several …
Hanne Ravnholt: Pioneer Wisconsin Buttermaker, Reimert T. Ravenholt
Hanne Ravnholt: Pioneer Wisconsin Buttermaker, Reimert T. Ravenholt
The Bridge
The historical marker placed along Highway 35 near Luck, Wisconsin, commemorating the founding of Wisconsin's first cooperative creamery-the Luck Creamery Company-on the north shore of nearby Little Butternut Lake, West Denmark, notes that "the first Buttermaker was a Danish woman who made butter in large wooden churns." A brief history of this pioneering Danish woman was provided by her son, Ansgar Ravnholt, a few years before his death in 1964.1 This author, a grandson, has contributed additional details from more recently discovered records.
Danish Methodists In America, Arlow W. Andersen
Danish Methodists In America, Arlow W. Andersen
The Bridge
The separate histories of foreign-language missions present a special challenge to students of American church history. Descendants of the immigrants, more and more of mixed ancestry, lack the ability to read and translate material published in the language of their forebears. To make matters more difficult, the children and grandchildren of the pioneers often shun the tedious work of research and writing. Their handicaps apply to the offspring of all foreignspeaking peoples in America. Of the nineteenth-century immigrants, the Danes come to mind.

When my younger brother and I were little, our mother often sang to us, and soon our voices would be joining in with "Venter Paa Far"--Waiting for Father. This song is about two little blueeyed children who press their ' noses against the window pane as they eagerly await their father's homecoming. It ends with a happy rush to the door when they hear him approaching, and the words change to a joyous shout of "Her Kommer Far"--Here Comes our Father.

Children Of Danish Roots, L.C. Laursen
The Bridge
Children of Danish Roots is a translation by Willard R. Garred of Stammens B0rn, an article that appeared originally in the 1931 issue of the "Ryslinge Julebog," a Christmas magazine of the Ryslinge Folk High School, Ryslinge, Denmark. The article was written by L. C. Laursen when he lived in the western Nebraska community at Mirage Flats near Hay Springs. After his arrival in the community he named it Ryslinge, a name generally accepted by the settlers and their friends.

The Travels Abroad Of H. C. Andersen, Don Mowatt
The Bridge
A complete appreciation of Hans Christian Andersen has always been limited to Danish-speaking readers because so much of his private life is most clearly revealed in his letters, diaries, and travel books which remain largely untranslated into English. There is a handful of exceptions, the majority of which are mid-nineteenth century translations from England.
Enok Mortensen's Major Fiction, Dorothy Burton Skardal
Enok Mortensen's Major Fiction, Dorothy Burton Skardal
The Bridge
Enok Mortensen' s literary career was strangely divided. In the 1930s he published a play and three books of fiction in a first burst of activity that began after most other Scandinavian immigrant authors had ceased to publish or had died. After 1936, however, he abruptly ceased to publish fiction except for scattered short stories , and for many years wrote historical works in English instead. In English too was his charming autobiographical account of A Danish Boyhood in 1981. Who would have expected, then, that his last book would return to the novel form after nearly half a century …

The Danish Immigrant Experience In The Fiction Of Enok Mortensen, Rudolf J. Jensen

Here are several short quotations from Enok Mortensen 's fiction for the purpose of showing its primary themes: " . .. for you emigrants, nothing is ever as good as it was in Denmark . .. you always have to compare . .. Over here one always possesses a peculiar unrest-only another hundred dollars, a thousand, or a million dollars more. In the old country everything was ordered and secure . .. Sons followed in the footsteps of their fathers, but as a rule they didn't get any farther either . .. Here in America it was the Golden Chance …

Enok Mortensen As Preacher, Thorvald Hansen
The Bridge
Unless one were aware of it, one would not be likely to guess that Enok Mortensen was an immigrant. Even when one was aware of it, one tended to forget the fact. In his speaking and in his writing, Mortensen did not portray the usual marks of a Danish immigrant. His pronunciation of English was flawless and he was no stranger to English grammar. He was as much at home in one language as the other and he was as much a part of America as he was of his native Denmark.
