Norway to America by Ingrid Semmingsen

The story of Norwegian immigration to the United States is full of drama and pathos. Between 1815 and 1915 as many as thirty-five million people came to the United States from Norway. This book tells the story of the migration as it affected both nations and investigates the reasons for this “American Fever.” Rich in history, the tale ends with a discussion of the ways in which Norwegian-Americans retain their ties to the old country.

"A work of superior quality and merit that will appeal with equal strength to the critical scholar and the interested layman alike." —American Historical Review
