An intriguing book that explores the causes that impelled migrants to come to the New World, their dangerous Atlantic voyage, and the establishment of Norwegian communities in the America. The challenges of unfamiliar farm machinery, agricultural techniques, language, clothing, and foods also shaped the Norwegian experience in Wisconsin. New to this edition are the selected letters, from mid 1800s, of two adept observers of Norwegian settlers’ early lives here: Ole Munch Raeder, a Norwegian scholar, and Anders Jensen Stortroen, an immigrant farmer.
