Abstract

A ~ew weeks after arrivi ng in this country, thirty years ago, fr iends drove me to a place called LAKE GENEVA, Wisconsin, and on t he way back we passed a town called LAKE ZURICH Illinois. Neither of these two towns seemed to have direct 1 ties to Switzerland; but a few months later, in NEW GLARUS Wisconsin, l earned much about that town's being founded by' Swiss immigrants--a story well known to all members of the Swiss American Historical Society.
