Wraps are intact and are in fine condition. 10 x 7 ½, 26 pages, 3 ounces XX [From the introduction] The most cosmopolitan immigrants to come to Texas with the least reason for coming were the Swiss. Ideological oppression, economic depressions and natural catastrophes caused many Europeans to immigrate to America during the nineteenth century. The Swiss, however, enjoyed a relatively high standard of living under a progressive and stable government. The great majority of Swiss who immigrated did so individually to seek even greater opportunities and to satisfy personal career goals. Switzerland was recognized as the banking center of Europe, it rivaled England in textile production, and it had attained a world-wide reputation as a manufacturer of precision instruments. The tiny country was a well-knit federation. It had compulsory education, welfare programs for its workers and firmly established traditions of civil and religious freedom. The Academy of Geneva, later the University, was respected as a world center of intellectual activities. Still the Swiss came, never in great numbers but always in a steady stream. Most of the Swiss immigrants prospered, and some revisited their homeland and persuaded others to follow. Wherever they settled ? whether in the German and French communities where their familiarity with the language was helpful or in the Anglo- American areas, they added their own distinctive cultural enrichment to society. The Swiss have long been recognized as among those immigrants most readily assimilated into American culture. Having a common heritage of democracy and personal freedom, they found themselves at home under the American democratic form of government. Some became identified as Germans or French when they moved into areas occupied by immigrants from those countries. The story of their residence in Texas has been marked by unusual success in a wide variety of occupations. The Swiss have been ranchers, newspapermen and natural scientists; religious, military and entertainment figures; and one has been a president of the United States [Eisenhower].…
