Traces the movement of both groups and individuals from Norway to the American Midwest and Pacific coast states.
This book tells the story of the migration as it affected both countries and investigates the reasons for "American Fever." The story ends with a discussion of the ways in which Norwegian-Americans retain their ties to Norway. The book was first published in Norway as Dröm og Dad (Dream and Deed), in observance of the 150th anniversary of the departure of the first emigrant ship for America. This is an excellent way to celebrate one of the strongest ethnic heritages in America.
