  • Cestovatelé a emigranti z Českých zemí a jejich reflexe otrokářství na jihu USA v první polovině 19. století prismatem mýtu ztracené věci

    This article aims to explore the authentic opinions of travellers from the Czech lands on the institution of slavery in the southern United States during the first half of the 19th century. In the form of a probe, it focuses on five people who visited this region and therefore had eyewitness experience with the social conditions there. They were Karel Antonín Postl, Vilém Pflanzer, Vojta Náprstek, Gottfried (Bohumír) Menzel and Antonín Michael Di…

  • Bohumír Menzel

    Open AccessLukáš PerutkaARTICLEAnnals of the Náprstek Museum2024

    This article aims to present the relatively unknown personality of Bohumir (Gottfried) Menzel (1798–1879) and connect his writings to the beginning of the Czech mass immigration to Texas. Adopting the thematic and discourse analyses, we can observe that his letters contain positive information on Texas that coincides with the main concerns of Czech society in the 1840s and early 1850s. Therefore, we can assume that his letters were published by t…

    The process of Czech and Moravian immigration to Texas is a well-known phenomenon. Since 1848, tens of thousands decided to cross the ocean to seek a better future in the “Lone Star state.“ Although their history is well documented, there are still themes to be explored. Their religious activity and the connection it has created with their metropolis is one of them. The church and its institutions sent priests to America to attend to the immigran…

  • Do Latinské Ameriky se nestěhujte. Rady československého „globetrottera“ Václava Kotála

    Open AccessLukáš PerutkaARTICLEČeský lid2021

    This study presents the activities of the Czechoslovak traveller Václav Kotál (1894–1976) in Latin America. Although, he is an obscure figure today, he was at the height of media fame in the 1920s on account of his walking journey from Buenos Aires to Chicago. Kotal made use of this popularity to put his compatriots off moving across the ocean. The aim of this work is therefore to present this intriguing historical figure, but, above all, conduct…
