This study deals with the issue of Czech emigration to the United States of America in the second half of the 19 th century, and tries to look at the issue with the help of microhistory. In addition to determining the motivating factors that led the Švehla family to emigrate in the first half of the 1850s, the author traces the life journey of František Švehla, Jr. (1845-1921), who recorded the events from his life in an autobiographical way. Today, these memoirs allow us to become acquainted with the lives of Czech emigrants who settled in the American countryside in the second half of the 19 th century, not only on a factual level, but also in terms of individual opinions, attitudes, and behavior.
