Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By 1860 Wisconsin's Danish-born population had climbed to 1,150. But these newcomers remained only a small segment of the state's increasingly complex ethnic mosaic, and the challenges of adapting to life in this new land, among diverse cultures, forged the Danish experience in Wisconsin. In this concise introduction to the state's Danish settlers, Frederick Hale traces the catalysts for Danish emigration, their difficult journeys, and their adjustments to life on Wisconsin soil. Updates for this edition include additional historic photographs and the selected letters of Andrew Frederickson, which were written over a forty-year span and capture the personal observations of one Dane who made a new life in Wisconsin."--BOOK JACKET.
