Appenzell Ausser Rhoden

So long as Appenzell was a land of herdsmen, many peculiarities of costume, features, and manners must have remained.

Tobel is an Appenzell word, corresponding precisely to the gulch of California.

An Appenzell farmer lives in a house from forty to sixty feet square, and rarely less than four stories in height.

They date from the palmy days of Appenzell industry, before machinery had reduced the cost of the finer fabrics.
