Excerpt from Chapters on Scandinavian Immigration to Iowa
Europe, yet they have contributed nearly ten per cent of our immigrant population. Counting those of foreign par entage also, there are in this country nearly one-third as many Scandinavians as in the Scandinavian countries, while for the German element the ratio is one to thirteen. In proportion to population Norway and Sweden have with one exception furnished more emigrants to America than any other of the European countries; and there are in this country half as many Norwegians and Swedes, including those born here of foreign parents, as in the Scandinavian peninsula.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the complex story of Scandinavian immigration to the United States, particularly focusing on the experiences of Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes in Iowa. The author traces the origins of this migration, beginning with early settlements in the 17th century and moving through the 19th century, highlighting the various social, economic, and religious factors that drove individuals and families to seek a new life in America. The book analyzes the distribution of these immigrant groups within the United States, showing how they predominantly settled in the Midwest and Northwest, with some notable exceptions in the East. The author provides insights into the economic conditions that motivated Scandinavians to emigrate, such as the difficult farming conditions and limited opportunities in their homelands. Additionally, the text explores the roles of religious persecution, political oppression, and the lure of a more independent life in influencing their decisions to leave their native countries. By charting the progression of Scandinavian settlement in Iowa, the book offers a nuanced and richly detailed account of the forces that shaped this significant chapter in American immigration history.
