History.DescriptionThis 55 minute lecture describes how people of Swedish decent became the third largest ethnic group living in Cochise County during the early part of the 20th century. Between 1905 and 1930 there were dozens of Swedes living between 10th and 15th Avenues in Douglas, Arizona as well as a large number in Bisbee. The two communities socialized frequently at weddings and church functions. Many came from the same region of Sweden. Local Cochise County historian Wes Patience explains how economics, not geography, brought the Swedes to Cochise County.Audio Length00:54:59Date Original2007-03-28Date Range1880s (1880-1889)1890s (1890-1899)1900s (1900-1909)1910s (1910-1919)1920s (1920-1929)1930s (1930-1939)TypeSound- NonmusicalOriginal FormatLecturesLanguageEnglishContributing InstitutionCochise College LibraryCollectionCochise County Historical & Archeological CollectionRights StatementThis resource is owned by Cochise College and is provided here for educational purposes only.
