Abstract
The second newsletter of this year consists of a substantial scholarly article on the American career of the Basel politician Emil Frey by our esteemed advisory board member Hans R. Guggisberg, professor of history at the University of Basel. The article was originally presented as a paper at the 1984 annual meeting of our society in Philadelphia. Professor Guggisberg revised the paper for publication here and in Switzerland. A somewhat shorter version will appear as a commentary in the forthcoming publication of our society with the translation of the letters which Frey wrote when he lived in this country during the Civil War. The article brings together materials and information from many sources and gives as balanced an interpretation of the meaning and significance of Frey's experience in America as we ever will get.
