Book Synopsis Danes in Wisconsin by : Frederick Hale
Download or read book Danes in Wisconsin written by Frederick Hale and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wisconsin Territory's first Dane arrived in 1829, and by 1860 the state's Danish-born population had reached 1,150. Yet these newcomers remained only a small segment of Wisconsin's increasingly complex cultural mosaic, and the challenges of adapting to life in this new land shaped the Danish experience in the state. In this popular book, now revised and expanded with additional historical photos and documents, Frederick Hale offers a concise introduction to Wisconsin's Danish settlers, exploring their reasons for leaving their homeland, describing their difficult journeys, and examining their adjustments to life on Wisconsin soil. New to this edition are the selected letters of Danish immigrant Andrew Frederickson. These compelling documents, written over a 40-year span, capture the personal observations of one Dane as he made a new life in Wisconsin.

Book Synopsis The Christensen Family by : Marsha Ann Matson
Download or read book The Christensen Family written by Marsha Ann Matson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-24 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Christensen Family: From Old World Denmark to New World Wisconsin and Minnesota" is the story of the author's Danish family, whose great-grandparents left behind poverty for a better life in America. Using Danish and U.S. records, Marsha Ann Matson weaves the lives of fictitious and real ancestors into the histories of Denmark, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. She describes the momentous events in Denmark and the United States, which pushed her great-grandparents, Marie and James Christensen, to leave their homeland in 1883, the year of peak Scandinavian immigration to America. Relying on support from Madsen, Jensen, and Skafte relatives who immigrated before them, Marie and James undertook a grueling ocean and overland train trip with three small children. They struggled to farm, educate their children in a rural one-room schoolhouse, and adjust to a new way of life. Biographies of the Christensen children, who grew up to became parents, teachers, farmers, and a judge, are examples of the success of Danish-Americans in America.

Book Synopsis The Swedes in Wisconsin by : Frederick Hale
Download or read book The Swedes in Wisconsin written by Frederick Hale and published by Wisconsin Historical Society Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revised and expanded edition of Frederick Hale's "Swedes in Wisconsin" begins with the story of the state's first legal Swedish immigrants, a group of six young people and a hunting dog who set sail from Gavle, Sweden, in 1841 and established Wisconsin's first Swedish settlement, New Uppsala, along Pine Lake in Waukesha County. Hale describes the mass emigration from Sweden to the Midwest that began during the late 1860s and fundamentally changed both Sweden and the Midwest. During this time more than a million Swedes left their homeland for North America, motivated at least in part by a huge population surge that overtaxed Sweden's relatively small amount of arable land (agriculture served until the twentieth century as the Swedish economy's mainstay). Updates for the new edition include new photos and excerpts from letters Swedish novelist and feminist Fredrika Bremer wrote to her sister while touring the Wisconsin frontier in the autumn of 1850.
Book Synopsis Dannebrog on the American Prairie by : Torben Grøngaard Jeppesen
Download or read book Dannebrog on the American Prairie written by Torben Grøngaard Jeppesen and published by University Press of Southern Denmark. This book was released on 2000 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With this book on the origins of a Danish colony the focus is set on how Danish settlers established themselves in the American society. The colony 'Dannebrog' in Nebraska was founded in 1871 by a group of immigrants who some years earlier had settled down in Wisconsin." "By organizing The Danish Land and Homestead Company they set the goal farther west to build a large Danish colony comprising farmland as well as a real town. The book describes and analyzes specific details including the many difficulties and with strong competition for the acquisition of a continuous area of land and the foundation of a vigorous town. Laws, statutes, political structures, economics and labor- and trade organizations were completely different from Denmark. The realization of the dream required the ability to quickly gain insight into the new society and to become a part of it. In return the immigrants with their Danish roots and values could then be successful at forming a new society on the American prairie."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first-ever encyclopedia of the Midwest seeks to embrace this large and diverse area, to give it voice, and help define its distinctive character. Organized by topic, it encourages readers to reflect upon the region as a whole. Each section moves from the general to the specific, covering broad themes in longer introductory essays, filling in the details in the shorter entries that follow. There are portraits of each of the region's twelve states, followed by entries on society and culture, community and social life, economy and technology, and public life. The book offers a wealth of information about the region's surprising ethnic diversity -- a vast array of foods, languages, styles, religions, and customs -- plus well-informed essays on the region's history, culture and values, and conflicts. A site of ideas and innovations, reforms and revivals, and social and physical extremes, the Midwest emerges as a place of great complexity, signal importance, and continual fascination.
