Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, thousands of Icelanders emigrated to both North and South America. Although the best known Icelandic settlements were in southern Manitoba, in the area that became known as ìNew Iceland,î Icelanders also established important settlements in Brazil, Minnesota, Utah, Wisconsin, Washington, Saskatchewan, and Nova Scotia. Earlier accounts of this immigration have tended to concentrate on the history of New Iceland.Using letters, Icelandic and English periodicals and newspapers, census reports, and archival repositories, Jonas Thor expands this view by looking at Icelandic immigration from a continent-wide perspective. Illustrated with maps and photographs, this book is a detailed social history of the Icelanders in North America, from the first settlement in Utah to the struggle in New Iceland.

Download or read book The Vikings Return written by Marian Cecilia McKenna and published by Detselig Enterprises. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume takes a new look from a Canadian perspective at the so-called "Great Emigration," referring to the departure from Iceland between 1870 and 1920 of over 20,000 people, representing almost 30% of the nation's entire population. Over these decades, the majority of emigrants went to Canada, although several important settlements began earlier in Utah, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Author Marian McKenna tells their dramatic story, tracing the roots of discontent in the homeland, the origins of the first tentative immigrating groups, and the beginnings of a mass emigration. This resulted in relatively large settlements in parts of Ontario, Nova Scotia, and in Manitoba's New Iceland. Emphasis is placed on the plight of the basically rural, agrarian emigrants and the difficulties they faced adjusting to the rigors of their new environment. This modern saga, embracing some fifty years of many of the most fateful, stirring events in Iceland's tumultuous history, deserves a retelling for not only those of Icelandic descent, but for all those interested in the human condition and in these pioneering immigrants whose labors have helped to build the Canada and United States as we know today.
