New World Visionaries, Seekers, and Creators with Czechoslovak Roots

By Mila Rechcigl

The Czechs, or the Bohemians, as they used to be called, from the times of the ancient Kingdom of Bohemia to the onset of the 20th century, when the Czechoslovak Republic was established, have had the reputation as being considered among the highest accomplishers and achievers possible. This reflects the Czech culture and traditions, developed throughout centuries in their ancestral home. You would hardly ever find an individual among them, suffering from inferiority or minority complex. The opposite is true. They are very proud people who have a good opinion and good feelings about themselves.

In this comprehensive compendium, notable Americans with roots on the territory of Czechoslovakia are viewed from the perspective of their unique characteristics as Visionaries, Seekers, and Creators in the New World, encompassing Activists as Advocates, Explorers, Pathfinders, Leaders, Reformers, Innovators, Inventors and Futurists. As the monograph demonstrates, this characteristic has not been limited to a few individuals but can be found in just about every area of human endeavor.

The monograph is organized into sections by subject matter, i.e., The Mythical New World, Pioneers, Wanderers, The Society, Law, Public Life, Advocacy & Activism, Culture: Arts & Letters, Humanities, and Science & Technology. It is apparent from this publication, the Czechs, the Slovaks and the Bohemian Jews in America made a difference and considerably contributed to the growth and development of their new homeland.
