Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of essays and articles about Peter Cassel, who is famous for being the leader of the first group of Swedes who established the first Swedish settlement West of the Mississippi in Iowa in 1845, before Iowa became a state. I am a direct descendant of Peter Cassel. My mother, Dr. Helen Marjorie Jacobson Sloan (1910-2002), was the daughter of Wesley Jacobson (1877-1963), who was the son of Axel Jacobson who was born in 1843 in Follingasjo, Kisa, Ostergotlund, Sweden and his wife Carrie Cassel who was born in 1851 in Jefferson County, New Sweden, Iowa. Carrie Cassel was the first Swedish person born in America. Her father was Peter Cassel. This group had left from Sweden planning to join another Swedish group in Pine Lake, Wisconsin. However on the way, they heard there was better farm land available in Iowa so they went to Iowa instead. This advice proved to be correct as Iowa is now the bread basket of America with the most productive farm land anywhere. The ship from Sweden to New York took four months. This was longer than the discovery voyage by Christopher Columbus from Spain to the Bahamas that took 33 days. After landing in New York, they when to Philadelphia, then crossed the mountains by railroad and canal to Pittsburgh, then sailed down the Ohio River to the area of St. Louis and then went up the Mississippi River and then went up the Skunk River to Jefferson County, Iowa. This took four months. When they arrived, there was nothing there except for a house with four walls but no roof, so they had to chop trees and build their own quarters. They had to endure great hardship and many died along the way, but there was no turning back as they had sold their remaining possessions back in Sweden to prepare for this trip. They had arrived in Iowa with less than a dollar. They had come all the way to Iowa planning to stay permanently. Hearing of their supposed success, another group left Sweden the following year. After landing in New York, the route they followed was different. They crossed to Buffalo by the Erie Canal. Then they crossed by the Great Lakes to Toledo. They sailed down the Ohio River to the area of St. Louis and then went up the Mississippi River. However, they took a wrong left turn and went up the wrong river. When they reached wild Indian territory near Des Moines, they realized their mistake. Some turned back intending to join the original group. Others decided to stop there and stay where they were and established a settlement that they called New Sweden. It is now in the area of Madrid, a bit Northwest of Des Moines Iowa. They settled on lands that had been purchased from the Indians.

Book Synopsis The Welsh in Iowa by : Cherilyn A Walley
Download or read book The Welsh in Iowa written by Cherilyn A Walley and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Welsh in Iowa is the history of the little known Welsh immigrant communities in the American Midwestern state of Iowa. Dr. Walley’s book identifies what made the Welsh unique as immigrants to North America, and as migrants and settlers in a land built on such groups. With research rooted in documentary evidence and supplemented with community and oral histories, The Welsh in Iowa preserves and examines Welsh culture as it was expressed in middle America by the farmers and coal miners who settled or passed through the prairie state as it grew to maturity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This work seeks to not only document the Welsh immigrants who lived in Iowa, but to study the Welsh as a distinct ethnic group in a state known for its ethnic heritage.

The purpose of this book is to seek answers to such questions in the case of the Swedes during the period of their great migration, between roughly 1840 and 1940." -- Pref.
