Elsebeth Hansen thesis, 2001
A thesis presented to the Department of British and American Studies, the University of Oslo, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Cand. Philol. Degree. 146+ p.; "I have concentrated on issues between 1889 and 1945. The journal addressed an urban readership consisting of immigrants from Norway, their children, and Norwegian migrants from states further east. It became a cohesive factor among Norwegians in the maturing immigrant communities on the Pacific coast. Most of my newspaper references have taken from the journal's editorial comments, letters to the editor, its question and answer department and announcements and advertisements. Its foreign affairs reporting, much of its reports on internal American issues and several other departments have been left out due to space limitations."; Another copy in library collection.
