Download or read book Spring Grove written by Chad Muller and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spring Grove: Minnesota's First Norwegian Settlement is a tribute to the state's earliest Norwegian emigrants, and to generations of Norwegian Americans who have made this small farming community amongst deep valleys, fjord-like bluffs, and winding streams their true vesterheim. It is a tale told through striking historic photographs, many previously unreleased, and personal narratives, often humorous and always insightful. The area was first settled in the 1850s by pioneers like James Smith, who, inspired by the landscape, named the place Spring Grove. Smith was followed by the likes of "Big" Ole Gulbransgutton, who chased crooked land surveyors out of town with his bare fist; by the innovative Mons Fladager, whose business acumen earned him the title of "Father of Spring Grove"; and by the 20th-century cartoonist Peter J. Rosendahl, whose work gave a comical voice to the challenges of cultural assimilation. Spring Grove: Minnesota's First Norwegian Settlement also conveys the universality of the Norwegian immigrant experience, and anyone with Norwegian roots who desires to learn more about their ancestors will find it an enjoyable read.

Book excerpt: Minnesota Pioneers 1871 is the third book chronicling a small group of Norwegian immigrants to America in 1861 and their remarkable lives as settlers, soldiers and pioneers on the American Frontier. The story is based on a manuscript by Mathilde Berg Grevstad, daughter of Ole Iver Berg, a central figure in the founding of the village of Lake Park. It is a first hand account about the trip from Fillmore County to Becker County and the everyday life of pioneers who were the first to set foot on unsettled land in the American Midwest. Ole Iver was a close friend of the Hansen brothers, Hans and Olaus. While Olaus after the Civil War became a soldier in George Custer's 7th U.S. Cavalry, Ole Iver and Hans - another veteran from the war - kept close ties and in 1871 migrated to Becker. Hans became the first blacksmith in town. Through Mathilde's story and new research the book tells us about the harsh conditions the settlers met in the unbroken wilderness - a vast country of mosquito filled marshes, snow storms, hail storms, massive, destructive swarms of grasshoppers, fleas, lice, bedbugs, blackbirds - and Indians. However, through undaunted courage and persistence the pioneers carved out a niche on the Frontier by utilizing Minnesota's abundant wildlife and productive soil - and the Northern Pacific Railroad - creating a community with social, political and religious life which exists to this day. Also watch out for the two previous books: "From the Hornets' Nest to Custer's Last Stand" and "Suicide by Army Life".

The family witnessed the infamous James-Younger Gang bank raid in Northfield, Minnesota in September, 1876, and the founding of St. Olaf College. The annual floods of the Red River of the North ultimately lead the family to move to the Dakota Territory in 1883. In 1888, Harold B. Kildahl, Sr. returned to Minnesota to seek an education. During the next ten years, he completed grade school and high school, graduated from St. Olaf College (1895), and the Lutheran Seminary in Minneapolis (1898), was ordained, married, and received a call to be a pastor in the Lutheran Faith.
