Kai Eduard Rasmussen: A Danish American Hero, Val Hempel
The Bridge
Over the years, ever since immigration to the United States began, hundreds and thousands of Danes have crossed the Atlantic to begin new lives, to work, to settle and to become Americans. The vast majority of them have helped strengthen and build their adopted land, enrich its culture and add durable strands to that multicolored fabric that is America. Many stepped lightly and left few tracks while others broke bold new trails. A few fashioned memorable evidences of their journeys. Names such as Peter Lassen, Jacob Riis, William S. Knudsen, Jean Hersholdt, Victor Borge and others are known to millions. …

Emigration From Denmark To America: Diary Of Marius Larsen, Marius Larsen
The Bridge
The hour of departure falls on this day, a busy one for me. I have made good use of Christen Knudsen, my travel companion, in tieing up and transporting my baggage. "Cimbria" got under way at precisely eight o'clock, a large crowd on the dock waving farewell. Many of them were our friends and relatives. My parents came on board with us and there said their sad goodbyes. It hurts me to leave them; I hope for their sake, and for ours, that our future will develop in such a way as to make them happy that we left. We …

Danes In Polk County, Wisconsin, A. Bobjerg
The Bridge
In the year 1863 Morten Christian Pedersen left Sindbjerg Parish north of Vejle (Denmark) for America. He was 28 years old and unmarried. In the following year he remained mainly in Neenah, Wisconsin, where a number of Danes lived. He had conceived the idea of finding a place where it would be possible for people of small means to found a Danish settlement. That dream would not leave him, nor would he let go of the dream; but he took a good look around before he chose a place.

In 1894, J. C. Evers, an approved representative of the land committee (Landudvalg) of the Danish People's Society (Dansk Folkessamfund) stood observing the vast prairie of Wharton County, Texas. Within his heart he held a dream which was seeded, grew, blossomed and continued to bear fruit. Named the Danish capital of Texas in 1990, Danevang is the harvest of the first settlers of the colony.

This is the tale of a courageous pioneer woman who with her husband Rasmus Jorgensen and daughters Caroline and Mette emigrated from Denmark in 1882, ultimately settling in Tyler, Minnesota. In her later years, she told the story in Danish to her granddaughter, Dagmar B. Hoiberg (Mette's daughter), who subsequently translated it for relatives and possible publication.

Anton Gravesen - Immigrant's Way, Anton Gravesen
The Bridge
Anton Gravesen (1870-1952) became a well-respected merchant in Tyler, Minnesota, and banker in Askov, Minnesota. This autobiographical excerpt, provided by his daughter, Dagmar Gravesen, first records his experiences as a young immigrant and then describes his fast rise as a successful businessman. It ends with his philosophical acceptance of his losses during the Great Depression. Gravesen was born on a small farm on the Jutland heath. The death of his mother when he was 10 made him selfreliant and industrious. He not only worked for his father but also hired out to neighbors and his uncles as a sheep and …
