More than 150 years ago, the man who turns in to the first Swiss consul of California took a look at the New World's shoreline and thought it reminded him of home.
Théophile de Rutté was 23 and by now well traveled, according to a new book looking back at the history of Swiss consular activities in the Bay area and beyond.
"The Swiss Experience in San Francisco" is shortened by Catherine Bosshart: Pfluger, a historian at Fribourg University.
