                <text>Typescript copies of ten letters by a Norwegian-Lutheran clergyman published in Norwegian newspapers, describing his journey in 1844 to Wisconsin, his trips as itinerant minister to various Norwegian settlements, establishment of the Koshkonong congregations, doctrinal differences, plans for a seminary, and relations with the Mormons. There are references to Søren Bache, Claus L. Clausen, Elling Eielsen, Laurits J. Fribert, Hans Gasmann, Cleng Peerson, J. D. Reymert, John G. Smith, and Gustaf Unonius. After founding many congregations in Wisconsin, Dietrichson returned to Norway in 1850. He was opposed to emigration. In 1973 NAHA published E. Clifford Nelson's "Pioneer Churchman: J. W. C. in Wisconsin, 1844-1850." It includes a translation of Dietrichson's "Reise blandt de norske emigranter…" (1846) and of his "parish journal" for Koshkonong, 1844-1850. A copy of "Reise" is in the NAHA book collection; copies of an 1896 reprint are included here. Also included are photographs and articles on Deitrichson by Berge Øverland (1942) and Einar Haugen (1946).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Contents&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
