Excerpt: ... native of Wurtemberg and very accommodating and trusty but not very bright. About eight o'clock in the evening he called up on the telephone from Jansen and said he believed he could not get through the snowdrifts with his team. I told, him he would be a fool to try it; to leave the mules at the livery stable and himself to go to bed at the hotel. About midnight I heard a knock at the kitchen door. Opening it, there sood Carl, covered with ice and snow, looking like a veritable Sainta Claus, the mail pouch slung over his shoulder. I pulled him inside, as he could hardly stand, and commenced scolding him for risking his life in such a foolhardy way. Hie looked at me rather sheepishly and said: "Why, Mr. Jansen, I knew you wanted your mail." He had walked those four miles, feeling his way from one telephone pole to the next one, floundering through drifts six feet deep, often losing his way, but never giving up. It certainly was getting the news under difficulties. POLITICAL LIFE It seems but natural that I should have taken an active interest in the political and public affairs of the country of my adoption. Being a sheepman and in favor of protecting wool, it was also natural that I became a Republican from the start. However, I would probably have affiliated with the Republican party anyway. Its conservative policy and the achievements of the great men who founded it appealed to me. The Mennonite Church had never permitted its members to take an active part in politics. There was good reason for this in Russia and Germany, but here conditions were entirely different, and I soon formed the conclusion that the man who failed to do his part in maintaining good government was not a good or useful citizen. My people at first rather resented...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of Nebraska was originally created to mark the territorial centennial of Nebraska and then revised to coincide with the statehood centennial. This one-volume history quickly became the standard text for the college student and reference for the general reader, unmatched for generations as the only comprehensive history of the state. This fourth edition, revised and updated, preserves the spirit and intelligence of the original. Incorporating the results of years of scholarship and research, this edition gives fuller attention to such topics as the Native American experience in Nebraska and the accomplishments and circumstances of the state’s women and minorities. It also provides a historical analysis of the state’s dramatic changes in the past two decades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the biography of Paul Tschetter, a leading figure in late nineteenth-century Hutterite history, the "Hutterite Joshua," who convinced 1,250 Hutterites to leave Russia in the 1870s and resettle in Dakota Territory. Tschetter's life elucidates the way that an immigrant community fought for survival in a North American environment that stressed assimilation to radically different political, economic, cultural, and religious values. Janzen provides an in-depth narrative and analysis of Tschetter's influence based on diaries, sermons, hymns, interviews, and other primary materials.

Download or read book Pacifism in the United States written by Peter Brock and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 1018 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called "a pioneer work of the first importance" by Staughton Lynd, this book traces the history of pacifism in America from colonial times to the start of World War I. The author describes how the immigrant peace sects-Quaker, Mennonite, and Dunker -faced the challenges of a hostile environment. The peace societies that sprang up after 1815 form the subject of the next section, with particular attention focused upon the American Peace Society and Garrison's New England Non-Resistance Society. A series of chapters on the reactions of these sects and societies to the Civil War, the neglect of pacifism in the postwar period, and the beginnings of a renewal in the years before the outbreak of war in Europe bring the book to a close. The emphasis on the institutional aspects of the movement is balanced throughout by a rich mine of accounts about the experiences of individual pacifists. Originally published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Download or read book The Hutterites in North America written by Rod Janzen and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2010-07-18 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the longest-lived communal societies in North America, the Hutterites have developed multifaceted communitarian perspectives on everything from conflict resolution and decision-making practices to standards of living and care for the elderly. This compellingly written book offers a glimpse into the complex and varied lives of the nearly 500 North American Hutterite communities. North American Hutterites today number around 50,000 and have common roots with and beliefs akin to the Amish and other Old Order Christians. This historical analysis and anthropological investigation draws on existing research, primary sources, and over 25 years of the authors' interaction with Hutterite communities to recount the group's physical and spiritual journey from its 16th-century founding in Eastern Europe and its near disappearance in Transylvania in the 1760s to its late 19th-century transplantation to North America and into the modern era. It explains how the Hutterites found creative ways to manage social and economic changes over more than five centuries while holding to the principles and cultural values embedded in their faith. Religious scholars, anthropologists, and historians of America and the Anabaptist faiths will find this objective-yet-appreciative account of the Hutterites' distinct North American culture to be a valuable and fascinating study both of the religion and of a viable alternative to modern-day capitalism.
