This book was released on 2000 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With this book on the origins of a Danish colony the focus is set on how Danish settlers established themselves in the American society. The colony 'Dannebrog' in Nebraska was founded in 1871 by a group of immigrants who some years earlier had settled down in Wisconsin." "By organizing The Danish Land and Homestead Company they set the goal farther west to build a large Danish colony comprising farmland as well as a real town. The book describes and analyzes specific details including the many difficulties and with strong competition for the acquisition of a continuous area of land and the foundation of a vigorous town. Laws, statutes, political structures, economics and labor- and trade organizations were completely different from Denmark. The realization of the dream required the ability to quickly gain insight into the new society and to become a part of it. In return the immigrants with their Danish roots and values could then be successful at forming a new society on the American prairie."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Broken Hoops and Plains People written by Galen Buller and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to Nebraska, concerns common people and the Great Plains. The argument of this book is that, in the colliding of cultures in the plains, many hoops were fractures-those of the Indian cultures, of the Mexican and Southwestern peoples, and of the European immigrant groups who came after 1860. The various essays and the introduction argue that the vision of these people as well as that of thousands of less well known community builders, artists, workers and musicians constitute the humane past of our various ethnic groups; these visions may also constitute our hope for a future in a period of overcentralization, short fossil fuels, and loss of identity.
Download or read book For was I Not Born Here written by Anne Holden Rønning and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2010 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Lauris Edmond writes, du Fresne's work is a tapestry of the past and present, storying immigrant life. Flitting in and out of the past is shown to be one way of coming to terms with the present and of understanding the importance of home, as is evident in The Book of Ester and Frederique , both centering on the manifold, complex European cultural traditions that were often overlooked in settler countries. Another is to be an inquisitive spy on the land like the child narrator, Astrid Westergaard, in du Fresne's magnificent stories, many of them originally radio broadcasts, which depict life in a small Danish community in the Manawatu in the 1930's, often in a humorous and ironic manner. --
