Cleveland Czech book 1895
Partial quote from the familytreedna Czech group:
An English translation of Hugo Chotek's work entitled, Ceska Osada, a jeji Spolkovy Zivot u Cleveland, Ohio, v Severni Americe ("Bohemian Settlers and Their Social Life in Cleveland, Ohio, North America") is being posted in installments online at: http://OnwardToOurPast.com. This 192 page book is regarded as one of the most comprehensive and detailed views of the early Czech immigrant community in Cleveland, Ohio USA; It was published in 1895 by the Ohio Czech community for the Prague Ethnographic Institute and their International Ethnographic Exhibition.
However the website listed does not have it. A short look at the wayback machine has at least some of the book, is there a complete copy anywhere? Also this site had a huge amount of really good information in the past, all gone now?
Hello Al, The translated version may be online on Academia dot edu. You would need to create an account to be able to see and download it. The original version is available online on OhioLink Library website. They have listed the two items written by this author, https://olc1.ohiolink.edu/search?/a{u0306}Chotek%2C+Hugo/achotek+hugo/-3%2C-1%2C0%2CB/exact&FF=achotek+hugo&1%2C2%2C.
The Archive.org has another item related, written by Eleanor E. Ledbetter in 1919, The Czechs of Cleveland. https://ia601809.us.archive.org/3/items/czechsofclevelan00ledb_0/czechsofclevelan00ledb_0.pdf
And the HathiTrust dot org has monthly publications Ceske osady v Americe, however, those are in the Czech original language. Thank you. yvegen
