Excerpt from A History of the Swedish-Americans of Minnesota, Vol. 1Not a few great waves of emigration have rolled over the territory of the United States, but none have been more impressive, or contributed in a more marked degree to the prosperity and stability of the national character, than that which has originated in the Scandinavian countries of the old world. Further, none is more worthy of an analysis in detail than the continuous emigration of the hardy, industrious, home-loving and religious Swedes, with the founding of a most virile and progressive progeny in the North Star State.Like Sweden itself, the state of Minnesota is especially adapted to provide all the natural conditions for the development of a race of Swedish-Americans who are hardy and active, both physically and intellectually. North Star State - the very name speaks of sparkling waters, a dear, bracing climate, and all that stands for a life of purity and high endeavor! The Swedish-Americans of Minnesota have, in truth, fixed their habitation in the very section of the United States which is most perfectly adapted to preserve the massive, intense traits of the old Northmen, and yet modify and electrify them with a distinctive American spirit.The purpose of this work, "A History of the Swedish-Americans of Minnesota," is to expand these general ideas, and furnish a classified mass of facts which conclusively prove that too much credit cannot be accorded the Swedish immigrants, and Swedish-American citizens, for the wonderful and high development of the great North Star State. To the end that this purpose may be fully accomplished, the old-world origin of this fundamental racial element is traced into the very mists of mythology. The half-savage, but manly and virtuous Norsemen are vividly pictured in the gloomy forests and green fields of northern Europe. The scene of tireless action and bold, patient endeavor, then shifts to the land of dense forests and bright fields of this Northland known as Minnesota. The reader realizes, as never before, the splendid contributions which these people brought to this section of the Union-contributions, especially, of industry, domesticity, morality and religion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
