Swedes in North America : 1638-1988 : technical, cultural and political achievements
Inbunden bok. Stockholm : Streiffert. 1988. 136 sidor.
Nära nyskick. Skyddsomslag i mycket gott skick.
This small, handsome volume is a welcome addition to the
several publications that have appeared during the past few years in commemoration of the arrival of the Swedes in America in 1638. It is particularly fitting to have a survey of the achievements of Swedish Americans from the pen of the doyen of Swedish scholars of emigration, Sten Carlsson.
As the title indicates, the author is interested in portraying the entire period of the Swedish presence in America, not just the experience of the seventeenth-century colonists and their descendants.
The book is divided into three major parts with subsections
discussing the broad areas of early colonization, mass emigration between 1845 and 1929, and the vocational activities of successful first-and second-generation Swedish Americans. In addition to an introduction and conclusion, there is a reference section providing bibliographic sources for the sections of the book. It is nicely illustrated with photographs, maps, and graphs.
