A Century of Urban Life: The Norwegians in Chicago before 1930

Price range: $15.00 through $30.00

This significant work on immigrant life in America’s great cities examines the Norwegian urban experience as it expressed itself in Chicago. It serves to correct a strong rural bias in the historiography of the Norwegian-American population. The study is based on a thorough reading of secondary literature and on extensive research of primary sources.
