Papers, 1848-1879.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145788125

Correspondence, written in German script and transcribed via typewriter by Emma Gattiker into High German, of three generations of the Bosshard and Gattiker families, Swiss immigrants who settled in Green, La Crosse (especially the village of Bangor), and Sauk counties, Wisconsin. The letters relate to family affairs, discussing personal matters, the growth of community life, farming conditions, the Civil War experiences of a son who later settled in Owatonna, Minnesota, and the family affairs of relatives who returned to Switzerland and of those who had remained there. There is a long series of letters from Emma Gattiker while a student at the University of Wisconsin from 1875 to 1879, and a brief article by Miss Gattiker on the Swiss settlements in Sauk County.
