Download or read book Pella Dutch written by Philip E. Webber and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2011-10-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1847 by religious separatists, the town of Pella in central Iowa is the state’s oldest Dutch American colony, and its crafts, architecture, and celebrations reflect and perpetuate the Dutch heritage of its earlier residents. Through his intriguing blend of sociolinguistic research, regional history, and interviews with current speakers of Pella Dutch, Philip Webber examines the town’s rich cultural and linguistic traditions. Drawing upon formal and informal interviews and conversations with more than 150 speakers of Pella Dutch, Webber uses the methods of language research to trace the vestiges of Dutch heritage left on the English spoken by local residents; to explain attitudes toward language and ethnicity that emerged in the twentieth century; and to document the vocabulary, linguistic forms, humor, and conversational patterns that characterize contemporary Pella Dutch. In addition, desiring to let his informants speak for themselves, he includes the playful jokes, proverbial observations, folk wisdom, children’s rhymes, riddles, and puzzles influenced by Pella Dutch. Webber’s introduction to this expanded paperback edition provides new photographs, updated information about recent research and publications, examples of how Dutch continues to be spoken, and descriptions of the ways in which Pella continues to commemorate its linguistic and cultural heritage. Linguists, anthropologists, and historians—as well as all those who enjoy Pella’s Tulip Time festival, its summertime fair or kermis, the Dutch letters in its bakeries, and the early winter visit of Sinterklaas—will appreciate Webber’s informed and engaging study of this unique Iowa community.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Souvenir History of Pella, Iowa: This Book Contains a Concise Story of the Founding and Life of Pella, Iowa, With Illustrations and Short Write-Up of People and Scenes That Will Be Remembered by Hundreds of Present and Former Citizens All through European history the blood of these stubborn adherents of right and righteousness runs as a thread of scarlet and their love of liberty as a thread Of gold. Sir Philip Sidney, the flower of chivalry, who, for the love of God and his fellow-men, fought in the armies of the Netherlands, returned to England to tell Queen Elizabeth that the spirit of the Dutch is the spirit of God and is invincible. This same spirit, I like to think, reappeared in the men and women who early in the thirties revolted against the state church in Holland, seven hun dred of whom came to Pella in 1847.

From there, they traveled by canal boat, portage railroad, and steamship. Finally, they arrived in Iowa in a covered wagon.

A dugout was a warm and safe place to stay until the family had the time to build a log house.In this book, 10-year-old Jakob tells us the story of how he, his mother, his father, and his little sister built a dugout and then a log cabin so they would have . . . . . . a place to call home!
