- Description
- "A Scandinavian Trio in Pre-Revolutionary North Carolina" tells the story of the founding of Wachovia Tract, near present-day Winston-Salem, North Carolina, by the Moravian Church. Among the early shareholders was Madtz Jenson Klein from Drammen, about whom little is known. In the establishment of the first settlement two Norwegians took part: Hans [John] Martin Kalberlahn, a doctor, born at Trondheim in 1722, and Erick Ingebretson, a millwright and carpenter, born at Røros, 1721. Both men died during an epidemic of typhoid fever and are buried on a hill near the settlement. For more information on Kalberlahn, see P 1433.
