In this book a Norwegian-American historian tells the story of the thousands of Norwegian immigrants who gambled on a new life in America. His focus is on the growth of an ethnic subculture and the process of assimilation--the institutions (churches, schools, colleges, newspapers) that provided a fixed point in an uncertain existence, the ways that old traditions combined with new realities to create a richly diverse Norwegian-American culture, and finally the many contributions that several generations of Norwegian-Americans have made to their new country. Many splendid old photographs enchance this text.

This revolt was the dramatic culmination of a long conflict of interests between the Danish and German populations of the old Monarchy. Though this war began as a civil war and ended as a civil war, it has been invested with the full lustre of victory and national enthusiasm in the subsequent Danish conception of history. This vividly illustrated small book presents maps of the battles, detailed analysis of soldier’s uniforms, paintings and etchings depicting battle scenes, as well as extensive text on this unique revolt.
