The Swiss Colony on the Ohio River at Vevay, in what is now Switzerland County, Indiana, was founded by French-speaking Swiss citizens from the commune of Chateland, district of Vevay, Canton de Vaud, Switzerland, in the early 1800s. The founder of the settlement was John James Dufour who had first come to America in 1796 in search of lands for vineyards. He first purchased lands near Lexington, Kentucky, and subsequently in Indiana. The Kentucky settlement failed after a few years, but the Indiana vineyard flourished and became a major factor in the development of Switzerland County. This volume contains a history of this interesting chapter in American history as written by Perret Dufour. He was born in 1807 at the Kentucky vineyard, the son of John Francis Dufour who was the brother of John James Dufour, founder of these settlements. Perret removed to the Indiana community with his family at the age of two and remained there until his death in 1884. Perret’s history is of special value because he was an eye-witness and/or participant to much of what he records. This volume is not limited to the Swiss families, but contains extensive mentions of other settlers, and provides a substantial history of the entire county.

Les Trois Mousquetaires est un roman d'Alexandre Dumas, initialement publié en feuilleton dans le journal Le Siècle de mars à juillet 1844. Il a été publié en 1844 aux éditions Baudry. Il est réédité en 1846 chez J. B. Fellens et L. P. Dufour avec des illustrations de Vivant Beaucé.Le roman raconte les aventures d'un Gascon désargenté de 18 ans, d'Artagnan, monté à Paris faire carrière. Il se lie d'amitié avec Athos, Porthos et Aramis, mousquetaires du roi Louis XIII. Ces quatre hommes vont s'opposer au premier ministre, le Cardinal de Richelieu et à ses agents, dont la belle et mystérieuse Milady de Winter, pour sauver l'honneur de la reine de France Anne d'Autriche. Avec ses nombreux combats et ses rebondissements romanesques, Les Trois mousquetaires est l'exemple type du roman de cape et d'épée.Le titre prévu à l'origine était Athos, Porthos et Aramis, mais sur une proposition de Desnoyers, chargé du feuilleton au Siècle (selon qui ce titre évoquait aux lecteurs les trois Parques), d'adopter Les Trois Mousquetaires, Dumas a accepté ce dernier titre en notant que son absurdité (puisque les héros sont au nombre de quatre) contribuerait au succès de l' uvre. * Extrait (début du roman) : " Le premier lundi du mois d avril 1625, le bourg de Meung, où naquit l auteur du Roman de la Rose, semblait être dans une révolution aussi entière que si les huguenots en fussent venus faire une seconde Rochelle. Plusieurs bourgeois, voyant s enfuir les femmes du côté de la Grande-Rue, entendant les enfants crier sur le seuil des portes, se hâtaient d endosser la cuirasse et, appuyant leur contenance quelque peu incertaine d un mousquet ou d une pertuisane, se dirigeaient vers l hôtellerie du Franc Meunier, devant laquelle s empressait, en grossissant de minute en minute, un groupe compact, bruyant et plein de curiosité.

· The first 'Porsche Art' book· Includes approximately 24 artists from around the world, such as Marcello Petisci, Wolf Gast, Nicolas Hunziker, Alina Knott, Uli Hack, Stéphane Dufour, Tony Crampton, Dexter Brown, Yahn Janou and many more· Compiled by the well-known painter of the Formula 1 posters, Uli Hack· Opulent pictures in an impressive formatArtists around the world are fascinated by the Porsche brand. Inspired by the aura of the models from Zuffenhausen, they create works of art that achieve five- and six-figure prices at auctions. The Porsche 911, as the icon of the brand, is often at the center of the works. For the most part, the artists approach the object and its forms in a classical way, in oil or acrylic. Increasingly though, these artists are also designing contemporary digital art. The artists hail from all over the world - from urban and multi-cultural New York to the Scottish highlands, and the North German Plain. What all the artists have in common is that they use the charisma of the Porsche lines and curves to put it into a new context. Curated by the renowned painter and performance artist Uli Hack, the book shows a kaleidoscope of contemporary Porsche art. Text in English and German.

Praise for the First Edition: Sparks rejects simplistic solutions to school improvement, and honors the practical knowledge and expertise of educators."-Richard DuFour, Educational Author and Consultant "Dennis Sparks

"Long before the Confederacy was crushed militarily, it was defeated economically," writes Charles L. Dufour. He contends that with the fall of the critical city of New Orleans in spring 1862 the South lost the Civil War, although fighting would continue for three more years. On the Mississippi River, below New Orleans, in the predawn of April 24, 1862, David Farragut with fourteen gunboats ran past two forts to capture the South's principal seaport. Vividly descriptive, The Night the War Was Lost is also very human in its portrayal of terrified citizens and leaders occasionally rising to heroism. In a swift-moving narrative, Dufour explains the reasons for the seizure of New Orleans and describes its results.
