The First Fifty Years: Glimpses From The Dagmar Community
The First Fifty Years: Glimpses From The Dagmar Community
The Bridge
"Nothing can stay alive in this country but Danes and Russian thistles." So spoke a discouraged rancher in the early days. This is the story mostly of those Danes but also of the other extractions who for the past half century have carved out a saga of fortitude and resourcefulness in what is now generally known as the Dagmar community. Since the establishment of a church was the main purpose in the first plans for settlement and since the church soon did become the center of community life, this account is told in the broad outline of the history of …
Danes In Polk County, Wisconsin, A. Bobjerg
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.

The Significance Of The Private Letter In Immigration History, Niels Peter Stilling
The Significance Of The Private Letter In Immigration History, Niels Peter Stilling
The Bridge
The title of this paper is two-sided. The private letter is an important source for understanding the psychological and human aspects of immigration. It is also important to note that until recently historians have shown much too little interest in the documents from the immigrants themselves. My hypothesis, which I intend to discuss here, is that the private letter was the most important stimulating pull-factor in immigration history. In certain periods a call for USA was put forward in most letter series. Praising various aspects of American life, private letters were written to draw relatives or friends across the Atlantic. …

Those of you who grew up in the old A.E.L.C. will relate to much of what I write. You will be able to give names from your congregation to many of those whom I will describe. I will use vignettes, stories, some fact and some fiction. Hence, the title, Tales.

Jens Horstrup: A Labor Legacy, Shannon Kracht
The Bridge
When Jens Horstrup was a young man, his father Albert taught him that every worker had a right to take part in decisions made by his or her employer. It was a lesson that he carried - and re-taught - for the remainder of his life. Born in July, 1907, in Fredrickshavn to a ship patternmaker father, Jens opted for the bricklaying trade. He served a seven-year apprenticeship in Denmark, worked as a bricklayer in his country for awhile, and, seeking the challenges inherent in new opportunities, traveled to America in 1927. In his book, The Danish Americans, George R. …

My First Ninety Years, Agneta Jensen Slott
The Bridge
My father and mother, John Christian and Anne Jensen and three children, Signius, Katherine and Kamille, came to America from Denmark in 1890. They settled in Tacoma for three years where my father worked as a bricklayer. Fremming, their fourth child, was born while they lived in Tacoma. After three years they came to Enumclaw, bought some wooded acreage which is now part of the King County Fair Grounds. My father cleared a space big enough to build a house. He worked in a logging camp and walked four miles to and from work. In 1893 they moved to Franklin …

Gribskov, Marius Larsen
Gribskov, Marius Larsen
The Bridge
Pastor Marius Larsen was one of the many Danish preachers who served Danish Lutheran Churches in the United States for a time and then returned to Denmark to accept pastorates in that country. Larsen served the Junction City, Oregon "Danish" Church in the late 1920s, and into the early 1930s, when he accepted a call to serve the Nathaniel Lutheran Church in Dagmar, Montana. He returned to Denmark in the mid 1930s and became pastor of the Als congregation located at the eastern end of "Limfjord," directly east of the city of Aalborg. While there he wrote a book about …

Weeping Water, A Typical Small Town Danish-American Community, 1880-1930, Edith Matteson, Jean Matteson
The Bridge
It is common knowledge that Danes established numerous small agricultural settlements across the United States during the period of mass emigration from Denmark that began in the 1860s and lasted through the 1920s. Yet scholars studying Danes in America have frequently devoted more attention to the institutions established in small towns in America than to the communities themselves. For example, if it had not been for Sophus K. Winther's trilogy that begins with the novel Take All to Nebraska (1936), the community established by Danes in and around Weeping Water in Cass County, Nebraska, would probably have passed unnoticed by …
