- Description
- Jacobson was born at Sandefjord and followed his family's seafaring tradition in 1870. He immigrated in 1892 to Racine, Wis., becoming a sailor on the Great Lakes. His memoirs were published in 18 installments in Skandinaven (Oct.. 6, 1931-Jan. 6, 1933) under the title, "Nogle erindringer fra seilskibenes dage." In addition to telling his life as a sailor, he provides much information about the Norwegian-American community in Racine. He also was a regular contributor of religious verse to Lutheraneren and Skandinaven. Clippings of the articles and some poems are included.
