"The Santa Clara Historical Society has planned and worked towards publishing History of Santa Clara since they first became an organization in 1990. Much effort and time have been put into collecting and preserving histories and information, especially Sherri Graff Anderson. She researched, compiled and wrote the chapter on the Swiss settlers who arrived in Santa Clara in 1861. She also 'scanned' some of the photos that are included in our history book. It has been my privilege to collect, compile, edit, and type information from many sources into the book. As we study the lives of our ancestors, we can more fully appreciate the sacrifices, struggles, and hardships they went through for the gospel of Jesus Christ, and for us, their posterity. We can have a greater appreciation for the great heritage they have given us." [Author]
