GERARD Avrnoa of 'KEATA" "njE WATERS OF HERCULES " "BEGGAR Mr NEIGHBOR" E'U WITJ-I MAI' AND ILLUSTRATIONS NEW YORK HARPER & BROTHERS, FRANKLIN SQTIARE 1888 •3. PREFACE. In the spring of 1883 m}' husband was appointed to the coininand of the cavah-y brigade in Transylvania, composed of two hussar regi- ments, stationed respectively at Hermanstadt and Kronstadt—a very welcome nomination, as gratifying a long-cherished wish of mine to visit that part of the Austrian empire known as the Land beyond the Forest. The two years spent in Transylvania were among the most agree- able of sixteen years' acquaintance with Austrian military life; and I shall always look back to this time as to something quaint and excep- tional, totally difEerent from all previous and subsequent experiences. Much interested in the wild beauty of the country, the strange admixture oi races by which it is peopled, and their curious and varied folk-lore, I recorded some of my impressions in short, independent papers, of which "three were published in BlackwoocVs Magazine, one in the Nineteenth Century, and one in the Contemj>orary Review. It was only after I had left the country that, being desirous of preserving these sketches in more convenient form, I began rearranging the mat- ter for publication ; but the task of retracing my Transylvanian expe- riences was so pleasant that it led me on far beyond my original inten- tion. One reminiscence awoke another, one chapter gave rise to a second ; and so, instead of a small volume, as had been at first contem- plated, my manusci'ipt almost unconsciously developed to its present dimensions. When the work was completed, the idea of illustrating it occurred to me : but this was a far more difficult matter ; for, though offering a perfect treasiire-mine to artists, Transylvania has not as yet received vi Preface. from them the attention it deserves; and had it not been for obliging assistance from several quarters, I shonld have been debarred the satis- faction of elucidating some of my descriptions by appropriate sketches. In this matter my thanks are greatly due to Herr Emil Sigerus, who was good enough to place at my disposal the blocks of engravings designed by himself, and belonging to the Transylvania Carpathian Society, of which he is the secretary. Likewise to Madame Kamilla Asboth, for permission to copy her life-like and characteristic photo- graphs of Saxons, Konmanians, and gypsies. I would also at this place acknowledge the extreme courtesy with which every question of mine regarding Transylvania people and cus- toms has been responded to by various kind acquaintances, and if some parts of my work do not meet with their entire approval, let them here take the assurance that my remarks were prompted by no unfriendly spirit, and that in each and every case I have endeavored to judge im- partially according to my lights.

CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTOET. Leaving Transylvania after a two years' residence, I felt some- what like Robinson Crusoe unexpectedly restored to the world from his desert island. Despite the evidence of my own senses, and in fiat contradiction to the atlas, I cannot wholly divest myself of the idea that it is in truth an island I have left behind me—an island peopled with strange and incongruous companions, from whom I part with a mixture of regret and relief difficult to explain even to myself. Just as Robinson Crusoe, getting attached to his parrots and his palm-trees, his gourds and his goats, continued to yearn for them after his return to Europe, so I found myself gradually succumbing to the indolent charm and the drowsy poetry of this secluded land. A very few years more of unbroken residence here would no doubt suffice to efface all memory of the world we had left behind and the century in which we live. I remember reading in some fairy tale, long ago, of a youthful princess who, stolen by the gnomes and carried off into gnomeland, was restored to her parents after a lapse of years. Their joy was great at recovering their child, but it turned to grief when they dis- covered that she had grown estranged from them, and had lost all interest in the actual world. The sun was too bright, she said, it hurt her eyes, and the voices of men wei-e too loud, they scorched her ears and she could never feel at home again amid the restless glitter of her surroundings. I do not recollect how the story concludes—whether the young lady became in time reconciled to her father's brilliant court, or 1 2 The Land Beyond the Forest. whether she ran away and married a gnome ; bnt this tale somehow reminded me of my own experiences, and I caught myself wondering whether a few years hence, perhaps, the summons to return to the world might not have come too late. Parrots and palm-trees are all very well, no doubt, to fill up the life of a stranded mariner, but it is questionable whether it be wise to let such things absorb the mind to the extent of destroying all taste for wider interests. Life in an island is apt to consist too en- tirely of foreground—the breadth of a panorama and the comprehen- siveness of a bird's-eye view, only gained by constant friction with the bustling, pushing outer world, being mostly here wanting. Luckily, or unluckily, as one may choose to view it, tlie spirit of the nineteenth century is a ghost very difficult to be laid.

    NEW CITIZENS: GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alison Clark Efford, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Professor John L. Brooke, Adviser Approved by Professor Mitchell Snay ____________________________ Adviser Professor Michael L. Benedict Department of History Graduate Program Professor Kevin Boyle ABSTRACT This work explores how German immigrants influenced the reshaping of American citizenship following the Civil War and emancipation. It takes a new approach to old questions: How did African American men achieve citizenship rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Why were those rights only inconsistently protected for over a century? German Americans had a distinctive effect on the outcome of Reconstruction because they contributed a significant number of votes to the ruling Republican Party, they remained sensitive to European events, and most of all, they were acutely conscious of their own status as new American citizens. Drawing on the rich yet largely untapped supply of German-language periodicals and correspondence in Missouri, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., I recover the debate over citizenship within the German-American public sphere and evaluate its national ramifications. Partisan, religious, and class differences colored how immigrants approached African American rights. Yet for all the divisions among German Americans, their collective response to the Revolutions of 1848 and the Franco-Prussian War and German unification in 1870 and 1871 left its mark on the opportunities and disappointments of Reconstruction.

Univ.-Prof.in Dr.in Elisabeth Dietrich-Daum eingereicht im Semester: SS 2014 Rubrik: BA-Arbeit Abstract „Walliser off Gultüre.“ The Walser migration movement and Galtür This bachelor thesis focusses on the history of the Walser migration in general and the settlement of Galtür in particular, looking at the reasons why the Walser people left their homeland and at the conditions of establishing new settlements. In addition, this paper tries to find out whether traces of the Walser people and their culture still exist, particularly with reference to Galtür. Does a commemorative culture in the centres of the Walser migration and settlement exist in today’s Galtür? Do people there identify themselves as Walsers? Einleitung „Alle drei Jahre trifft sich die große Walser-Familie, blickt auf die gemeinsame fas- zinierende Geschichte zurück, tauscht sich über Gemeinsamkeiten und Unter- schiede aus, macht die Tradition im Sprechen der Walserdialekte und dem Tra- gen der Trachten erlebbar, pflegt und knüpft bewusst Walserfreundschaften.“1 Dieser Auszug aus dem Vorwort des Programmhefts des „Walsertreffens“ vom Septem- ber 2013 verdeutlicht die Aktualität der Walser2 und ihrer Kultur.

  • Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory
    To Our Dead: Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory by Jeffrey P. Luppes A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Germanic Languages and Literatures) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Andrei S. Markovits, Chair Professor Geoff Eley Associate Professor Julia C. Hell Associate Professor Johannes von Moltke © Jeffrey P. Luppes 2010 To My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a dissertation is a long, arduous, and often lonely exercise. Fortunately, I have had unbelievable support from many people. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor and dissertation committee chair, Andrei S. Markovits. Andy has played the largest role in my development as a scholar. In fact, his seminal works on German politics, German history, collective memory, anti-Americanism, and sports influenced me intellectually even before I arrived in Ann Arbor. The opportunity to learn from and work with him was the main reason I wanted to attend the University of Michigan. The decision to come here has paid off immeasurably. Andy has always pushed me to do my best and has been a huge inspiration—both professionally and personally—from the start. His motivational skills and dedication to his students are unmatched. Twice, he gave me the opportunity to assist in the teaching of his very popular undergraduate course on sports and society. He was also always quick to provide recommendation letters and signatures for my many fellowship applications. Most importantly, Andy helped me rethink, re-work, and revise this dissertation at a crucial point.

  • Josephe Ii Census of 1784-1787 in Zarand County
    JOSEPHE II CENSUS OF 1784-1787 IN ZARAND COUNTY Ionuţ-Cosmin CODREA The land of Zarand is a well-delimited geographic and ethnographic area, with a well-defined historical identity, lying between the western, mountainous parts of the old Zarand County and the eastern plains. The western part of the Apuseni Mountains rises as a row of mountainous massifs, isolated by broad alluvial depressions, which look like bays on a map and are actually intermountain plains. Through these tectonic depressions is made the link between the valleys of the Black Criş and the Mureş, the so-called Deva - Beiuş depression corridor.1 This region stretches along the White Criş, marked in the north by the Codru Moma Mountains and by the mountains of Bihor and Zarand, while to the south by the Metaliferi Mountains. Geographers recognise, generally, the unitary character of this Zarand “County,” although between Gurahonţ and Leasa the continuity is recognised only in the White Criş Valley. In the east, the intermountain valley (also called the Brad Basin) continues until Săcărâmb, in a region that generically belongs to the Metaliferi Mountains, while downstream it continues until Gurahonţ.2 In the 18th century, administratively speaking, the Land of Zarand had reached the end of a long journey and had turned from a part of the old County of Zarand (constituted around the eponymous fortress in the 12th and 13th centuries) into a county in its own right, through the “Karolin Resolution” of 31 December 1732, issued by Emperor Charles VI.3 The decision to carry out the Joseph II Census of 1784-1787 is part of a set of administrative measures implemented by the monarch “Aufklärer” Joseph II, which he wanted to be a more vigorous continuation of the reforms started by Maria Theresa.

They are the premiers in every colony, professors in every university, teachers, editors, lawyers, engineers and merchants – everything, and always at the front.” – English writer Sir Walter Besant Copyright © C White 2003 Version 2.1 This is the first in a series of discussion papers and notes on the identity of each of the tribes of Israel today Some Notes on the True Roots and Origin of the Scots TABLE OF CONTENTS Introductory Remarks 3 Ancient Judah 6 Migrations of Judah 17 British Royal Throne 25 National and Tribal Emblems 39 Scottish Character and Attributes 44 Future of the Scots – Judah’s Union with the rest of Israel 55 Concluding Remarks 62 Bibliography 65 “The mystery of Keltic thought has been the despair of generations of philosophers and aesthetes … He who approaches it must, I feel, not alone be of the ancient stock … but he must also have heard since childhood the deep and repeated call of ancestral voices urging him to the task of the exploration of the mysteries of his people … He is like a man with a chest of treasure who has lost the key” (The Mysteries of Britain by L Spence) 2 Some Notes on the True Roots and Origin of the Scots INTRODUCTORY REMARKS Who really are the Scottish peoples?
