This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Norwegian Immigrant Contributions to America's Making October 29 to November 12, 1921, and is designed to serve an educational purpose. The character, achievements and contributions of the Nor wegian ethnic element of the American people are, we be lieve, deserving of more general recognition. This element does not constitute a problem in any sense. It is now among the oldest of the immigrant groups of the early XIX. Cen tury. The Norsemen discovered America nearly 500 years before Columbus landed on one of the West Indian Islands, and the first attempt by Europeans to plant a colony on the North American continent was made by the Norseman, Thor finn Karlsefne. Norwegians were here in Colonial times, especially among the Dutch in New Amsterdam, but also in the other colonies, and they participated in the Revolutionary War on land and sea. This year marks the 100th anniver sary of the beginnings of modern Norwegian immigration on a large scale. The 100th anniversary of the arrival of the sloop, Restaurationen, the first immigrant ship from Norway, will be commemorated four years hence. This group is, there fore, no longer an odd band of newcomers, but a substantial part of the American people, which by loyalty and demonstrated achievements in material and cultural advancement, has earned the right to be Americans. The voluntary contributors of the several chapters have within the limited space and time allotted to them endeavored to show what some of these con tributions are. The shortcomings of this book are obvious. It was pre pared under pressure of speed and, in the case of several of the contributors, with no time for adequate research work. It is hoped, however, that this modest effort in the treatmentof an important subject will serve to stimulate an interest in the study of the material and intellectual part Norwegian immigrants and their descendants have played in the up building of America. The field is rich for the scientific in vestigator, the student of history, the seeker after truth, and it has hardly been touched. If such a result follow.

Book excerpt: This volume is intended to present the progress of immigration from Norway to this country from the beginning down through what may be termed the first period of settlement. It is possible that I may at some future time return to these studies to trace the further growth of the Scandinavian element and its place and influence in American life. Four years ago I contributed an article to The Iowa Journal of History and Politics upon "The Scandinavian Factor in the American Population, '* in which I discussed briefly the causes of emigration from the Northern countries. This article forms the basis of chapters VI-VIII of the present volume, much new evidence from later years having, however, been added. In a subsequent issue of the same Journal I published an article on "The Coming of the Norwegians to Iowa," which is embodied in part in chapters III-V of this volume. The remaining thirty-six chapters are new
