The Way It Was, Thorvald Hansen
The Way It Was, Thorvald Hansen
The Bridge
When New York is mentioned, it seems that thoughts inevitably tum to a very large city, tall buildings, and with sidewalks and streets crowded with unfriendly people. The latter is only partially true, but it fits the common understanding, or perhaps one should say, misunderstanding, of the city and, more importantly, the state.

An American Presidential Election In The Eyes Of A European Observer, Louis Christensen

After "election fever" ran rampant in the United States throughout the year 2008 and Europe was also "running a temperature," it might raise a few eyebrows to read what a European observer wrote home after having attended the presidential election in 1848.

On an earlier occasion, I have written that there is only one political party in America, the only one possible in a republic: the Democratic [in the original sense of the term, i.e. rule by the people]. It is a party that has many branches with the same political viewpoints. Nevertheless, they differ from each other on several points, which they defend in their various newspapers. They try to promote their opinions, views, and political creeds with the public through candidates whom they nominate for office in elections--first and foremost, the presidential election.
Three Short Stories By Carl Hansen, J. R. Christianson
Three Short Stories By Carl Hansen, J. R. Christianson
The Bridge
Translator's Note. The Danish-American author, Carl Hansen, was born in Jonstrup near Holbcek in 1860, emigrated to America in 1885, taught for a number of years at Danebod Folk School in Tyler, Minnesota, and died in Seattle in 1916. Enok Mortensen once described him as follows:
"[He] had attended university classes in Denmark and studied at the state agricultural school. He knew something about pharmacology, a lot about veterinary medicine, and much about literature and philosophy ... He was a popular teacher. Each Saturday he gave a lecture-often on classics of Danish literature, and the students sat spellbound as he …

Burials In The Tomb Of The Swiss-American Society New Orleans, John Geiser Iii
Swiss American Historical Society Review
On July 3, 1871, an improved constitution was adopted and a burial ground in Greenwood Cemetery was purchased. The yellow fever epidemic of 1878 caused the entire plot of ground to be filled and compelled action on the building of a suitable vault, which was completed and consecrated with appropriate ceremonies on October 5, 1879.

Danishness is flourishing in the U.S.A. at the dawn of the twenty-first century, and it is not difficult to find this Danishness, or rather, to find what Americans consider to be Danishness. When the Danish media focus on Danishness in the U.S., they tend to highlight two areas: Solvang, California, the so-called "Danish Capital of America," and the two "Danish Villages," Elk Horn and Kimballton, Iowa. Today, Solvang has a population of around 5,000 and Elk Horn/ Kimballton around 1,000. However, estimates have 1.5 million tourists visiting Solvang and 80,000 visiting Elk Horn/Kimballton annually. Dannebrog waves on high in both …

In October 2006 I took a trip to Switzerland in search of ancestors wit
a few members of the Purysburg Preservation Foundation. A genealogy
travel destination is common among those searching for their roots .
However, until you actually have experienced it yourself, the stories are just

Digging Paradise: Historical And Archeological Miscellany Of The U.S. Virgin Islands, Kenneth Baumgardt
Digging Paradise: Historical And Archeological Miscellany Of The U.S. Virgin Islands, Kenneth Baumgardt
The Bridge
During the 1980's and 1990's, the firm of MAAR Associates of Newark, Delaware, conducted more than thirty archeological investigations of the prehistoric sites and Danish Plantations of the U. S. Virgin Islands. These studies were conducted to fulfill the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act prior to proposed hotel construction there. However, after the islands were devastated by Hurricane Hugo in 1987, many of these projects were never built. Nonetheless, a great volume of information about the history and prehistory of the Virgin Islands was collected. This study will provide a compilation of some of the discoveries made during …

Excerpts From The Course Of My Life, Jens Hansen, Edward A. Hansen
The Bridge
Jens and Maren Stine Rasmusdatter came from the small island of Mom, Denmark. On a larger map of Denmark, Mon is a scarcely discernible plot of separated land, with chalk cliffs on its eastern seaboard and sandy beaches on the other. Stege is its chief town, set by an inlet called Noret and surrounded by verdant fields and forests. It is an idyllic spot, with its own culture and legends. Residents love it. Present day tourists are charmed by it.
From this fabled island, Jens Hansen made his first journey to America. He remembers it as happening in the winter …
The International Life Of A Swiss Hotelkeeper, Marianne Burkhard
The International Life Of A Swiss Hotelkeeper, Marianne Burkhard
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Among the papers of Ferdinand Sperl there is a
small black book in which he chronicled the stages of
his life from his childhood to the 1960s. This
chronicle is very interesting as it shows first, how the
son of a hotelier was thoroughly prepared for
following in his family's footsteps as a fourth
generation hotelier, and second, how his arrival in the
United States in 1939 and the Second World War led
him to an unexpected career in military intelligence
after which he returned to his career as hotelier.
