Abstract

Speak of the History of California and the part played by the Swiss: imnediately you will have one reaction and one name mentioned: Sutter. For the majority of the people that is the beginning and the end of it. Many books have been written on Sutter, part fiction, part history. There might be here or there a short article of general interest. Add to this the very good book of our Board Member Maurice Edmond Perret, Professor of Geography, Wisconsin State University, Stevens Point, Wisconsin, on ticinesi colonies in California and this is about the sumtotal of the literature which has been published so far on the role of the Swiss in the History of California .
