Norwegians in America: The Last Migration: Bits of Saga from Pioneer Life = Original Title, Den Siste Folkevandring Sagastubber Fra Nybyggerlivet I Amerika

To see informative as well as entertaining historical works such as Holand's lost to second-generation Americans because of a language barrier is a painful realization to one who has spent his life in the field of education. In this translation, I hope to convey to you, through Holand, the feelings and aspirations of Norwegian immigrants as they established settlements from New York on through the heart of the Midwest. Among the cities and regions cited in the book are Manhattan, New York; Fox River, Illinois; Muskego, Koshkonong, Ephraim, Coon Valley, and Green bay, Wisconsin; Grant, Goodhue, Kandiyohi, and Otter Tail counties, Norway Lake, Elbow Lake, and Minneapolis, Minnesota; Winneshiek County, Decorah, St. Ansgar, McGregor, and Spirit Lake, Iowa; Vermillion, Elk Point, Canton, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and the Red River Valley of North Dakota. Holand's easy style and sensitity make this an unusually palatable reading experience of pioneer adventure, as one tale flows into the other in this saga of migration across America.
