Wisconsin Territory's first Dane arrived in 1829, and by 1860 the state's Danish-born population had reached 1,150. Yet these newcomers remained only a small segment of Wisconsin's increasingly complex cultural mosaic, and the challenges of adapting to life in this new land shaped the Danish experience in the state. In this popular book, now revised and expanded with additional historical photos and documents, Frederick Hale offers a concise introduction to Wisconsin's Danish settlers, exploring their reasons for leaving their homeland, describing their difficult journeys, and examining their adjustments to life on Wisconsin soil. New to this edition are the selected letters of Danish immigrant Andrew Frederickson. These compelling documents, written over a 40-year span, capture the personal observations of one Dane as he made a new life in Wisconsin. No library descriptions found. |

I have a Danish great-grandfather, so will keep the book in my genealogical collection. I don't feel this gave much of a flavor of what made Danes different from other immigrants. But I am going to look for one of the references "A New Life: Danish Emigration to North America as Described by the Emigrants Themselves in Letters, 1842-1946" by Niels Peter Stilling & Anne Lisbeth Olsen, 1994, Aalborg, Denmark.
