Faculty Research & Creative Activity
Oliver Cromwell's opening speech to the Assembly of Saints (BarebonesParliament) on 4 July 1653 has been singled out as 'the high-water markof radicalism' because his millenarian and reformist language revealed theinfluence of London-based Fifth Monarchists. 1 But Cromwell began hisspeech not with biblical references but with 'that case ofWales, which Imust confess for my own part I set myself upon, if I should inform youwhat discountenance that business of the poor people of God there had' bythe Rump's refusal to renew the Propagation Act 'to the discountenancingof the honest people there', despite the seemingly obvious proof 'thatGod kindles a seed …
From Here To There: Memoirs Of A Swiss Childhood, Ellen Carney
From Here To There: Memoirs Of A Swiss Childhood, Ellen Carney
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Flags are the hallmark of August ist, a day steeped in tradition and legend. Flags are flown all year round, but they serve mainly decorative purposes on mountain tops, steam boats and on occasion, a church tower. The bright red square with the white cross livens up the green (or white) countryside, gray city streets and certainly looks photogenic against the blue sky of calendar pages. Swiss love their flag but don't pledge allegiance to it, not even on this day when it assumes a patriotic dimension and is flown everywhere, from ordinary buildings, across narrow streets in the old …

Swiss American Historical Society Review
To compile a pedigree chart of a few generations, and have it printed, might be considered a private and personal pleasure. However, if such a pedigree is set out to cover all ancestors as far back as the sources allow, the author has achieved something important not only for his family, but for his home town, the canton or even a larger part of the country. Swiss genealogists, especially Komad Schulthess, have started projects like this during the 1920's; in 1939 Eduard Riibel and Wilhelm H. Ruoff have set new standards with their Rubel-Blass genealogy, covering mainly Zurich and Bern …

Seeking to dislodge the prism that a singular political practice—represented as the story from savage to slave—informed the slave trade, this essay points to a distinct genealogy shaping the earliest encounters between Europeans and Africans.
Book Review: Jonathan Steinberg, Why Switzerland?, Jurg K. Siegenthaler
Book Review: Jonathan Steinberg, Why Switzerland?, Jurg K. Siegenthaler
Swiss American Historical Society Review
"Any decent biography," a New York Times book reviewer recently remarked, "is a work of drama." Jonathan Steinberg's Why Switzerland? is truly a biography of Switzerland, and the story often has the substance of drama. Since the book has no subtitle, the author explains the three ways in which he is intending to answer the question "why." Why has a place such as Switzerland come about? Why should readers abroad care? And why should Switzerland continue to exist? "No country is more frequently visited but less known" (p. 4). What Steinberg manages to do very well is to provide answers …

Book Review: Malcolm Lawrence, Something Will Come Along: Witty Memoirs Of A Foreign Service Officer, Dwight Page
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Upon opening this little volume and reading its first lines, the reader is instantly overwhelmed by a sensation of delicious delight. No dull dry account of a bureaucratic life behind a dusty desk is this, but rather the fascinating memoirs of a man, Mr. Malcolm Lawrence of Chevy Chase, Maryland, who in his lifetime career in American diplomacy and government has made a major impact upon and has exercised a positive influence upon European and American as well as Swiss and American relations.
The Seven Years' War In New York State: Introduction, Timothy J. Shannon
The Seven Years' War In New York State: Introduction, Timothy J. Shannon
History Faculty Publications
Ask the average person on the street about the Seven Years' War and you are likely to get a blank stare. Try again, only this time call the conflict "The French and Indian War" and you might get a faint smile of recognition. Take a different approach: ask random strangers their opinion about The Last of the Mohicans. Many will tell you they loved it, although they will more likely be thinking about Daniel Day-Lewis than James Fenimore Cooper.
Such has been the fate of one of the most important events in early history. In 2004, the 250th anniversary of …

Law, Boundaries, And City Life In Early Modern Poland-Lithuania, Magda Teter
Early Modern Workshop: Resources in Jewish History
The dynamics of relations within cities thus are shaped not only by class or religious or ethnic membership but also by the legal framework. In the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, divisions between the private and royal domains within cities disrupted not only their legal coherence but also that of Jewish communities themselves, sharpening economic competition and often also conflict. This is what the 1711 decree of the Lithuanian Tribunal against the kahal of Minsk highlights--legal distinctions sometimes exacerbated urban tensions.

Close Quarters Privacy And Jewish House Space In Early Modern Polish Cities, Adam Teller
Close Quarters Privacy And Jewish House Space In Early Modern Polish Cities, Adam Teller
Early Modern Workshop: Resources in Jewish History
The following texts were chosen in order to illustrate the implications of the growth in Jewish population in Poland's larger towns during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when the number of Jews grew faster than the non-Jewish authorities would allow the Jewish quarters to expand. This led to an increasing degree of crowding in the Jewish quarter as a whole as well as in individual houses. To illustrate this, some demographic data on the situation in the Jewish quarter of Poznan may be seen in the presentation.

Rural Jews Of Alsace, Debra Kaplan
Rural Jews Of Alsace, Debra Kaplan
Early Modern Workshop: Resources in Jewish History
From 1348/9-1477, the Jews of Alsace were expelled from the cities in which they had lived throughout the Middle Ages. While many opted to leave the Empire for centers in Eastern Europe and Italy, some Jews remained, moving to the towns and villages in the countryside. By the 1470's, the majority of Alsatian Jews lived in rural areas. Quotas often dictated residential policies in towns and villages, so it was not uncommon to find one or two Jewish families per village/town. The following documents detail the relationship of rural Alsatian Jews, as represented by their communal leaders, with two Alsatian …
The Sharper Image: Bringing Irish Nationalist Identity Into Focus, 1880-1923, Meghan M. Ferriter
The Sharper Image: Bringing Irish Nationalist Identity Into Focus, 1880-1923, Meghan M. Ferriter
History Theses & Dissertations
From 1880 to 1923, Irish nationalists created and sustained an independent cultural identity shaped by external and internal forces. British political cartoons reveal key external cultural perceptions of the Irish, while Irish nationalist writings endorse internal concepts of character and project political aims. Irish nationalists present an uninterrupted internal identity in pursuit of autonomy. Images published in Punch, or the London Charivari, provide external factors of identity that evolve from exaggerated threat to trivial concern while the nationalist political demands they represent escalate.
Identity is the product of complex interaction and compromise between external and internal definitions. Individuals …

New Glarus' Original Settlers A New Listing, Robert A. Elmer, Duane H. Freitag
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Published histories of New Glarus have been inconsistent in the names and numbers of original settlers. They generally peg the number at 108, 118 or even 122. The Settlers' Monument in New Glarus, erected in 1915 to commemorate those pioneers, has a listing (only the men!) that differs somewhat from written histories. A comprehensive listing based upon the primary sources of the time has never been fully enumerated or fully referenced.

Swiss American Historical Society Review
A notebook kept by one of the two men who selected the site for the Swiss colony of New Glarus in Wisconsin has been located and translated from German, providing additional insight into a unique story of Swiss immigration. While two pages from the 28-page notebook had been photographed and preserved in Switzerland years ago, the original was thought by some to be missing. However, it has been safely archived at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin in Madison since 1929.

Swiss American Historical Society Review
It is indeed an honor to have been given the opportunity to be guest editors for this "Searching for a New Home" edition of the esteemed Swiss American Historical Society Review. While we are both ardent students of history, we are not historians by profession but rather a scientist and a journalist - both born and raised in New Glarus, Wisconsin. Our goal is not to retell the story of New Glarus' birth 160 years ago, but to examine this beginning through three documents of that significant year.
