When Sweden invaded Poland, in June 1655, it went to war with an army which reflected not only the state’s military and cultural strengths but also its fiscal weaknesses. During 1655 the Swedes won great successes in Poland and captured most of the country. But a series of military decisions transformed the Swedish army from a concentrated, combined-arms force into a mobile but widely dispersed force. -

The Last Visitation of the Plague in Sweden: the Case of Bräkne-Hoby, Blekinge in 1710-11
The last visitation of the plague in Sweden: the case of Bräkne-Hoby, Blekinge in 1710-11 By ROGER SCHOFIELD SUMMARY: In an earlier study of the plague in Colyton, Devon the household distribution of deaths was studied to see whether this provided a method of the identifying the causative disease. In this article, a known epidemic of plague in the Swedish parish of Bräkne-Hoby was studied as a means of testing out the generality of the household distribution of deaths. It was discovered that, in this case, the very heavy mortality was due to two radically different means of spreading the disease, initially the classic bubonic one through the rat flea, and latterly, and somewhat surprisingly, the pneumonic one, through the infection of the inhabitants by their own friends and neighbours. One of the difficulties in studying epidemics in the past is that the disease behind the epidemic is often not identified as such in the burial register.1 Although there are certain pointers to the nature of disease, such as its seasonality, these are in general far from conclusive. Accordingly in a study that I made of the epidemic in Colyton, Devon in 1645-6, I decided to investigate the patterns of deaths within the household, just in case this gave additional information on the nature of the infection.2 One method of achieving this is through a ‘family reconstitution’ of the parish register, but for a parish of the size of Bräkne-Hoby, about 2900 inhabitants in 1749; this is a difficult and extremely laborious undertaking.3 In later epidemics, in this part of Sweden, it is possible to avoid this, by also using two alternative sources, a ‘husförhörslängd’, which is a household examination book, and the tables known as the ‘statistiska tabeller’, which contain an aggregate analysis of the parish registers. -
History of Upland, PA
Chronology of Upland, PA from 1681 through 1939 and A Chronology of the Chester Mills from 1681 through 1858. Land in the area of today’s Upland was entirely taken up in the 1600’s by Swedes, and laid out in “plantations”. Swedes and Finns had settled on the west bank of the Delaware River as early as 1650. The Swedes called this area “Upland”. Peter Stuyvesant, Dutch Governor of New Amsterdam (now New York), forced the Swedes to capitulate and named the area “Oplandt”. September, 1664 – English Colonel Nichols captured New Amsterdam, it became “his majesty’s town of New York”. The Swedes decided it was “Upland” again. Local Indians were of the Lenni Lenape tribe – The Turtle Clan. An old Indian trail ran from Darby along the general route of the present MacDade Blvd. into the Chester area, where it followed today’s 24th Street to the present Upland Avenue. Here it turned down the hill passing the current Kerlin Street, and on to the area that is now Front Street where it turned right, following close to Chester Creek across the land which later would become Caleb Pusey’s plantation, and then made a crossing to the higher land on the opposite side of the creek. Dr. Paul Wallace, the Indian expert, sites this Indian trail; “The Indians could here cross over on stones and keep their moccasins dry”. The Indian name for the Chester Creek was “Meechaoppenachklan”, which meant. Large potato stream, or the stream along which large potatoes grow. From 1681 . William Penn, being a man who learned from the experiences of others, was intent on providing a vital infrastructure for the settler/land owners in the new colony. -

SCS News Fall 2004, Volume 3, Number 1
Swedish Colonial News Volume 3, Number 1 Fall 2004 Preserving the legacy of the New Sweden Colony in America The Faces of New Sweden now in print Kim-Eric Williams After more than two years of work, the long-awaited The Faces of New Sweden is now available and was premiered at the New Sweden History Conference on November 20 in Wilmington, DE. It is a perfect-bound book and includes many full color reproductions of the recently rediscovered paintings of Pastor Erik Björk and his wife Christina Stalcop. Erik Björk was one of the three Church of Sweden priests sent to America in 1697 by Jesper Svedberg and King Carl IX to revive the churches and serve the remaining Swedes on the Delaware. He was pastor at Holy Trinity (Old Swedes’) Church in Wilmington from 1697 until 1713. The portraits of Björk and his wife seem to date to 1712 and are by America’s first portrait painter, Gustavus (Gustaf) Hesselius, who was the brother of the next two Swedish priests to serve in Wilmington, Andreas Hesselius and Samuel Hesselius. The family background of the painter Gustavus Hesselius and the families of Erik Björk and Christina Stalcop is told by the author Hans Ling of Uppsala, Sweden, legal advisor to the National Heritage Board and a Forefather member of the Swedish Colonial Society.

Fritsch AC 2
Cercles 19 (2009) ANGLICAN OR AMERICAN: Re-examining the Impact of the Frontier on Legal Development in Seventeenth-Century Pennsylvania CHRISTOPHER N. FRITSCH The question of the Americanization of the English common law was a subject of historical interest prior to the American Revolution. In his lectures presented at the University of Oxford, William Blackstone noted that Britain’s colonies fell into two categories—areas claimed “by right of occupancy only, by finding them desert and uncultivated, and peopling them from the mother country” and regions gained by conquest or treaty [1:104]. In his estimation, the former area immediately became subject to the laws of England. In the latter, a legal system of some form pre-existed the conquest or the treaty. In this situation, the older, established laws continued, until the monarch decided to change them [1:104-5]. Blackstone believed that the American settlements existed by right of conquest [1:105].1 Thus, the common law held no authority there. However, Parliament did and like other English possessions, such as Ireland and the Isle of Man, residents were subject to Parliament and its statutes, but only if they were specifically mentioned.2 Did this allow colonists in British North America the freedom to develop their own common and statute laws? As much as the common law held no authority within this region according to Blackstone, colonial governors and legislatures were barred from passing laws or establishing any legal custom which was “repugnant to any law, made or to be made in this kingdom” [1:105].3 1 English historians have disagreed with these conclusions. -
Suède Le Centre De Gravité De L'espace Scandinave
Suède Le centre de gravité de l'espace scandinave On s’est accoutumé, depuis le milieu du siècle dernier, à voir en la Suède un pays pacifique et un peu terne, une sorte de « Suisse du nord », vouée à professer depuis la tour d’ivoire de sa neutralité de tranquilles convictions sociales-démocrates. Bien loin d’être infâmante, cette image contient évidemment une part de vérité : appuyée sur une solide identité protestante, berceau de l’une des plus anciennes monarchies parlementaires au monde, préservée depuis 1815 des conflits qui ont affecté ses voisins, la Suède constitue incontestablement un des plus solides pivots de la démocratie et de la stabilité en Europe. Sans même parler de ce « modèle suédois », récemment mis à mal par les contrecoups de la mondialisation mais qui n’a peut-être pas dit son dernier mot… Cette apparence paisible ne doit pas faire oublier que la Suède a aussi et surtout été une grande et énergique puissance continentale, dont l’ambition a longtemps été d’unifier la Scandinavie, de contrôler les côtes de la mer Baltique et de jouer un rôle significatif dans les affaires de l’Allemagne et de la Russie. De ces rêves de grandeur et des quelques souverains exceptionnels qui les ont portés, il ne subsiste malheureusement pas grand-chose dans notre mémoire collective. En leurs temps, l’annonce de la mort de Gustave-Adolphe à la bataille de Lützen ou celle de Charles XII devant Fredriksten ont pourtant sonné comme autant de coups de tonnerre dans le ciel des capitales du vieux continent. -

For the first six generations included in it, it is, genealogically, as complete as the author, with his pres- ent knowledge, can make it. Members of later generations are mentioned in footnotes in such numbers, it is believed, as will enable others to trace their lineage from the first progenitor with little difficulty. It is published not merely as the record of a particular family but also as a striking example of the wide diffusion of the blood of an early Swedish settler on the Delaware through descendants of other surnames and other races residing both in the United States and Europe.
