Not So Far From Home: A Norwegian Correspondent in the Midwest
Description:
Its easy to find Norway. Its that long, spoon-shaped country in northwest Europe. But Norway Times correspondent Roald Steen knows that Norway can also be found elsewhere . . . right smack-dab in the heart of America! When the thousands of Norwegian immigrants sailed west to America in the 1800s and early 1900s they brought along not only their material belongings but also their Nordic traditions and heritage. This rich ethnic spirit continues to live and even thrive in the many Norwegian settlements throughout the United States. This book is a compilation of stories that first appeared in Mr. Steens popular column in the then Brooklyn, New York-based newspaper, Norway Times. So, if you were unlucky enough to miss these wonderful stories the first time around, in that publication, then heres your chance to enjoy Americas slice of Norway from someone who has a love for both countries. To give the reader a better perspective of Mr. Steens native Norway, he provides an insiders view of many little-known, but interesting places, customs and events. As for his new Norway, the heritage-commemorating activities and accomplishments of the Norwegian-Americans are reported with objectivity and a good measure of pride. We think you will agree that Roald Steen is a writer who is at home in either of the two Norways.
