Norway to America by Ingrid Semmingsen
This book tells the story of the migration as it affected both countries and investigates the reasons for OC American Fever.OCO The story ends with a discussion of the ways in which Norwegian-Americans retain their ties to Norway. The book was first published in Norway as DrAm og Dad (Dream and Deed), in observance of the 150th anniversary of the departure of the first emigrant ship for America. This is an excellent way to celebrate one of the strongest ethnic heritages in America.Ingrid Semmingsen was professor of history at the University of Oslo and the author of a two-volume study of Norwegian emigration to America, Veien mot Vest (The Way West).
Einar Haugen was professor of Scandinavian and linguistics at Harvard University.| SKU | Unavailable |
