- Together with the Reverend Eric Norelius, Mattson helped organize the church at Vasa, Goodhue County, Minnesota, in 1853. Mattson, an immigrant from Skåne, Sweden, has been called "the single most influential American leader responsible for the vast Scandinavian migration to Minnesota. His Reminiscences: The Story of an Emigrant, published by the Minnesota Historical Society in 1891, is in the NAHA book collection. A number of the clippings, photocopies and originals, concern the dedication of the Mattson Settlement Marker at Vasa, July 9, 1988, and the celebration of "Hans Mattson Day," October 9, 1990. The others address various aspects of Mattson's career.
