photo caption

[edit]

The picture that claimed to be a view "westwards from Ferden" is actually a view of the valley looking east from a point west of Ferden. I've revised the caption. 65.213.77.129 (talk) 18:31, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]


I believe the first 2 lines are to be altered or deleted altogether as they are not neutral —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.56.57.92 (talk) 21:29, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History section

[edit]

A proper history sections would be interesting, there's some things mention that raise more questions in http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html

"Chapter 3 ISOLATED AND MODERNIZED SWISS The people of this valley have a history covering more than a dozen centuries. ... These people have never been conquered, although many efforts have been made to invade their valley.

The people of the Loetschental Valley make up a community of two thousand who have been a world unto themselves. They have neither physician nor dentist because they have so little need for them; they have neither policeman nor jail, because they have no need for them. The clothing has been the substantial homespuns made from the wool of their sheep. The valley has produced not only everything that is needed for clothing, but practically everything that is needed for food. It has been the achievement of the valley to build some of the finest physiques in all Europe. This is attested to by the fact that many of the famous Swiss guards of the Vatican at Rome, who are the admiration of the world and are the pride of Switzerland, have been selected from this and other Alpine valleys. It is every Loetschental boy's ambition to be a Vatican guard. Notwithstanding the fact that tuberculosis is the most serious disease of Switzerland, according to a statement given me by a government official, a recent report of inspection of this valley did not reveal a single case. I was aided in my studies in Switzerland by the excellent cooperation of the Reverend John Siegen, the pastor of the one church of this beautiful valley." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:14B8:100:2A9:0:0:0:2 (talk) 08:39, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
