The character and activities of Bohemian immigrants, 1901
Our Bohemian Population
Bohemian immigrants did not settle in Wisconsin in large numbers until the late nineteenth century. The name Bohemia refers to a historical region in central Europe that is today the western and middle thirds of the Czech Republic. This short article discusses the reasons for Czech (or Bohemian) immigration and provides some sweeping generalizations about overall character of the immigrants.
