Abstract

The theme of this issue of the Review is the 19th Century SAHS emigration from Canton Valais of Switzerland to the United States. All the materials in the issue were written by Valaisans or by American descendants of Valaisan immigrants. My own article, "Nineteenth Century Swiss Valaisan Immigration to the United States," developed from · a desire to understand the experience of my great-great grandparents who left the canton in 1854. Their final destination, according to the ship's manifest, was Mishicot, Wisconsin.
