The Bridge

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.
