Description
On the basis of an emigant letter by Apolonija Noč, sister of the missionary Franc Pirc (1785-1880), the author deals with her immigrant experience as of the second woman (the first was the sister of Friderik Baraga Antonija Hoffern in 1837) and the first mother with children who immigrated from Slovenia to America in the 19th century. The author compares her letter from 1855 with the letter of her nephew Jernej Pirc (1854) and of her son-in-law Janez Pogačnik ( 1857); he also includes a letter of her brother from 1838. The author analyses the grounds on which Slovene peasants did not decide in a larger number to emigrate to Minnesota (U.S.A.) when there was still plenty of soil and the missionary Franc Pirc would help them with their immigration.

      • Na podlagi izseljenskega pisma Apolonije Noč, sestre misijonarja Franca Pirca (1785-1880), avtor obravnava njeno priseljensko izkušnjo kot druge ženske (prva je bila sestra Friderika Barage Antonija Höffern leta 1837) in prve matere z otroki, ki se je priselila iz Slovenije v Ameriko v 19. stoletju. Njeno pismo iz leta 1855 primerja s pismom njenega nečaka Jerneja Pirca (1854) in zeta Janeza Pogačnika (1857), pritegne pa tudi pismo brata iz leta 1838. Avtor analizira tudi vzroke, da se slovenski kmetje v večjem številu niso odločili za izselitev v Minnesoto (ZDA), ko je bilo tam zemlje še veliko, pri priselitvi pa bi jim pomagal misijonar Franc Pirc.
