Description
Nybygger-breve fra Amerika, a compilation of 33 letters by Abraham Grimstvedt, who lived in Nissedal, Telemark, Norway, were intended for publication in Norway. The letters, written by Grimstvedt's three sisters and their husbands living in Dane County, Wisconsin; Fillmore County, Minnesota; and Decorah and Lake Mills, Iowa, give a favorable picture of life in America. The topics most often discussed are health conditions, farming, school, church, and transportation. The letters were published, with extensive introduction and footnotes by Øyvind T. Gulliksen, by NAHA-Norway and the Nissedal Historielag, as "Saa nær hverandre" (1999), in the NAHA library collection.
