Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Norwegians in New York, 1825-1925 Owing to this backwardness on our part in getting our records in order, the contributions to the community made by the Norwegian ele ment in New York have, to a large extent, been hidden under a bushel. Because of this lack of records, statistics and definite information concern ing our life and activities, we do not, perhaps, show up fully as well as we otherwise might, although we do, of course, in a general way rank high as citizens of this country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Skavlem and Odegaarden Families: Being a Genealogical Record and Pioneer History of the Skavlem and Odegaarden Families From Their Emigration From Norway Down to the Present "How our fathers toiled, and how much they suffered, we their descendants who are now enjoying the fruits of their labours, can never realize or know, and we owe them a debt of gratitude which we can never pay. The best we can do is to live worthy lives, and try to keep green the memories of those who did so little for themselves and so much for us." R. B. Anderson. The above beautifully expressed sentiment, so appreciative of the simple but earnest lives of the pioneer immigrants is a most appropriate eulogy, tendered worthy subjects. - "They who did so little for themselves and so much for us" - simple words, yet so rich - so full of meaning. Conscious of our debt of gratitude, and desirous to "keep green the memories" of ancestors who were worthy members of that band of pioneer immigrants, we have gathered material for these historical sketches and memoirs. It has taken much time and a voluminous correspondence, extending over several years. The lives of our immediate ancestors were cast in pioneer days. They were not writing history - they were making it, leaving it for others to preserve the records. This, I am sorry to say, has been sadly neglected, and how much is irretrievably lost, the pickings up of fragmentary bits of data often coloured and distorted by traditional transmission and - sifting out the facts, is a work requiring both time and patience; at best it can only approximate accuracy. No one can be more conscious of the short comings of this work, nor more deeply deplore the inevitable presence of errors than the author; he has done the best he could with the material at his command, and it is hoped that, with all its defects, it will still help to "keep green the memories of those who did so little for themselves and so much for us." The making of these records what they are could not have been accomplished without the hearty co-operation of nearly all of "our Folks," for which I wish here to express my full appreciation. Special mention is due cousin Tosten Holverson for his unstinted aid and financial support in the prosecution of this work; in fact the production of this work is largely due to his enthusiastic support.

Download or read book The First Chapter of Norwegian Immigration to Its Causes and Results written by Rasmus Bjorn Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Chapter of Norwegian Immigration, to Its Causes and Results: With an Introduction on the Services Rendered by the Scandinavians to the World and to America The reader will also find a number of repetitions. The author would have been pleased to eliminate many of these, but as the book is written mainly for plain people it was thought better to repeat some of the things that had already been told than to be continually referring the reader to some other part of the volume. The aim has been to give as full an account as possible of each of the six separate settlements, and as will be seen the same persons sometimes appear among the pioneers of more than one settlement. It seemed better to restate some of the facts in regard to such persons than to refer the reader back to other pages of the book. Doubtless there are many names omitted, that ought to have been mentioned, and some of those introduced may have been given more prominence than they are entitled to; but the reason for this is the author's inability to see with sufficient clearness through the veil of time that covers the first epoch of emigration from Norway.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irish Nation, Vol. 2: Its History and Its Biography Retrospect - Early Religion not that of Rome - State of Ireland in the previous Period - anglo-norman Conquest Reign of Mary - Elizabeth. To obtain a just insight into the social or political history of Ireland, during the period on which we must now enter, it will be necessary to recall from the past some general conditions which have still, through all our periods, had a main influence to govern, or chiefly shape the course of events. The consideration is the more essential, as most of the seeming difficulties and misrepresentations which have obscured our history, have their source in Opposite views on those fundamental ele ments - the social condition and early religion of the native Irish. For the first of these main considerations, we have to Observe, that even so late as the 17th century, there existed in Ireland no class, to which, in any modern sense, the term people could be intelligibly applied. There was no constitutional structure of civil government or social order between the lord and the serf. The common people were slaves to chiefs, with few exceptions, little less savage than them selves. As such a statement must seem to many inconsistent with the traditional exaggerations of the annalist or the bard, it may be useful to recall the truth, even as it becomes transparent through the very sur face of the tradition itself. And it will also be clearly apparent, that the boasted learning of the early Hibernian saints and doctors, was wholly confined to those learned individuals themselves; and, in no way indicates the state of the people, rich or poor. They were teachers without a school - speculative disputants in religion or philosophy, travelling to learn or teach. The chiefs and the people had other oh jects to attend to; the incessant and murderous contentions of the petty toparchs who robbed each other, and trampled on their heredi tary bondsmen. The frequent invasions from the Dane or Norwegian, invited by such a state of things, ever tended to repress the first germs of civilization, and drive the arts and muses from the shore.

Download or read book The Changing West and Other Essays Classic Reprint written by Laurence Marcellus Larson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Changing West, and Other Essays I trust that Professor Larson will permit me to add that his friends and associates desired to bring out this book in honor of his election to the vice presidency, and his forth coming elevation to the presidency, of the American His torical Association. When, about a year and a half ago, I ventured to suggest to him the idea of bringing together in book form some of his essays, I was well aware of the fact that his previously published works were mainly in the field of English and early Norse history, but I also knew of his deep interest in the story of the Norwegians in America, and I expressed the hope that he would focus his attention Upon that subject. He took kindly to the suggestion and the result is the present volume. The norwegian-american Historical Association feels honored in being permitted to sponsor the book, and in doing so it offers its congratula tions to Professor Larson not only upon the high distinction that has come to'him at the hands of the national historical organization but also upon the many and important con tributions that he has made to American historiography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Medieval Europe Inasmuch as emigrants from all parts and from all races of Europe have long since been coming to the United States and becoming American citizens, it has seemed worth while to include the states and racial groups of central and eastern Europe, as well as the richer medieval history of those western European lands whose institutions and culture have thus far had the greatest influence upon our own. In conformity with present tendencies in historical writing, economic and social conditions are given due attention, and many minor details of military and political history are omitted. In these days of tottering thrones I have even ventured to lay the axe at the root of absolutism and to dispense with genealogical tables. Contemporary events sadly remind us that the age of wars is not past; but they have also demonstrated that an intensive study of Cæsar's Commentaries and the tactics of Hastings and Crécy is of little use even to the modern military specialist; while they have further reminded us that in the art of the past there are precious models and inspirations, whose loss is almost irreparable. Since man is a reasoning and emotional being, it is unfair to the past actors and uninteresting to the present readers of history merely to chronicle events without some indication of the ideas and ideals behind them as well as of the personalities that produced them. But discussion of economic and intellectual influences should not be carried so far as to reduce the narrative of events in political history to a mere skeleton. If wars and politics are to be discussed at all, they should be treated with sufficient fullness to insure clearness and interest. The background of physical geography is frequently referred to and described. In the maps the aim has been to omit confusing detail and to keep them in close accord with the text. As a rule all places mentioned in the text and no others are given in the accompanying maps. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
