Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of Swedes settled in Moline, Illinois, from the late 1840s through the 1920s. For many years they made up the largest ethnic group in the city. They came to work in the plow factories and to join relatives who were here before them. Lilly Setterdahl has drawn from many different sources and brought forward a mosaic of facts and photographs. The reader will learn about the environment facing the new immigrants, how they conquered the challenges of adapting to another culture and language to become Americans and, in many cases, significant contributors to society. Other immigrants groups, no doubt, experienced the same tribulations and rewards. The work at hand is unique in many ways. As far as is known, no other Swedish-American researcher has attempted to include smaller businesses in similar studies. Fifty different business categories are included. Find out where the Swedes worked, shopped and went to church, what papers they read, and which clubs and lodges they joined. What was their journey to America like, their arrival in Moline, and every-day life? Did they ever visit Sweden? These are questions asked by many descendants. Sample descriptions are included. So are first-hand experiences recorded on tape with Swedish Americans in Moline. The work concludes with family histories that cover several generations and reveal the upward movement in society. Sometimes the immigrant trail winds through places in the East, the Midwest and even the West. Many Swedes settled in the farming communities in northwestern Illinois. The connection to Moline then is through their descendants. While the general history of the Swedes in America is relatively well docu-mented, local histories still remain largely untapped. With this richly illustrated publication, Lilly Setterdahl fills one gap on the subject in the Midwest, which was so prominently settled by Swedes.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 938 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Swedes of Illinois, Vol. 1 The Swedes of Illinois, therefore, rank as the pioneers of this great migratory movement. In later years they have been out numbered by the Swedes of Minnesota, and' nearly all the western and many of the eastern states now have each a very considerable Swedish population, yet the Illinois Swedes retain pre-eminence from a historical point of view. Illinois was the central point from which the Swedish population spread in various directions, chiefly to the west and the northwest. The Swedish settlements in the eastern states and on the Pacific slope are of more recent date and have no direct connection with the pioneer history of Illinois. In intellectual culture as well as in material development the Swedes of this state led the way for their countrymen in other parts. In Illinois we meet with the first properly organized Swedish churches - the mother churches of no less than five distinct denominations. In Illinois was founded the first swedish-american newspaper of permanence, and the great bulk of the Swedish publishing business in this country has always been done here. In Illinois was founded the first swedish-american institution of learning, followed in later years by a score of others, but still remaining the foremost educational institution among the Swedish people of the United States. In Illinois were put forth their first endeavors in the literary field, which, although modest, yet formed the nucleus of a distinct literature. In the cultivation of the fine arts of music and painting as well as in manufacture, craftsmanship, invention and industrial art, the Swedes of Illinois also led, and in the succeeding pages will be found the names of Swedish pioneers in a variety of fields.

Download or read book Minnesota Swedes written by Lilly Setterdahl and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 1999-08 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the individuals in this study were closely related. They came from an agricultural community in Sweden dominated by a large estate. The pioneers came in search of 'free' land, and they found it in Goodhue County. Former neighbors settled close to one another. Many of the descendants are still tied to the land. The author has endeavored to trace the immigrants from cradle to grave to find out how they fared in their new homeland. But she did not stop there. Whenever possible, she continued her search among the descendants. There are extracts from official records in Sweden and in America for about 320 immigrants. Including their families, the study encompasses more than one thousand individuals. Explore the intricate kinship within the group, name-changes, moves, occupations, farm locations, family members, and much more. The author, a native of Sweden, has studied and written about Swedish immigration history for the last 30 years. This book is a continuation of Minnesota Swedes: The Emigration From Trolle Ljungby 1855-1912 , which she had published in 1996.
