A Danish Soldiers' Song In America, Finn V. Nerland

In the revolutionary year of 1848, governments throughout Europe were being overthrown by popular risings demanding liberty and representationD. enmarkf aced a doublec risis.

Danebod: A Tradition Of Strength And Spirit, Ann Svendsen
Danebod: A Tradition Of Strength And Spirit, Ann Svendsen
The Bridge
The Danes have always expressed their joys by having
festivals. Fastelavns (Fest before Lent) is celebrated on
Shrove Tuesday . The Fifth of June, a traditional celebration,
remembers the day Denmark got its first constitution and
became a democracy. America's patriotism and freedom are
celebrated on the Fourth of July. The bounties of agriculture
are celebrated with the annual Harvest Festival. Christmas is
celebrated not only in the majesty and solemnity of a candlelight
church service but by dancing around a huge tree when
the children also recieve bags of candy, apples and nuts,
and gifts.

Like Wallace Stegner, Sophus Keith Winther feels uncomfortable with the label "Western writer." For Stegner, the label too often smacks of horse-opera: outworn myths that lacked historical basis to begin with. Winther's objection has less to do with the subject matter, more to do with themes and character: regionalism-whether Western or Southers, or Wessex-too often exploits superficial traits of locality, whereas enduring literature reveals the universal drama of the human condition ("The Limits of Regionalism"). Stegner and Winther agree, however, that a writer should begin with what he or she knows best; if one's experience is Western, then Western regionalism …
Breaking Ground In The Promised Land: Mary Lund's Letters Home To Denmark From Canada, March-September, 1926
The Bridge
I knew my Grandma Lund as a strong person. She was my Dad's mother, mary, the "tough" grandmaother my parents called on to babysit my older sister, Laurette, and me when they would travel for more than a few days. Mary Lund was a large person, a feature which worked against her in the years I knew her. Her legs were thick and chronic arthiritis did not allow her to walk without discomfort; she remained ever stoic, never complaining even as she winced in obvious pain. She insisted on respect for elder and a strict code of manners at the …
Oregon Danish Colony: Ethnic Assimilation In Junction City, 1902-1952, Gerald Rasmussen, Otto Larsen
Oregon Danish Colony: Ethnic Assimilation In Junction City, 1902-1952, Gerald Rasmussen, Otto Larsen
The Bridge
"A most desired place for Danish folks to settle." That
keynote launched the campaign to attract Danes to Junction
City. Who was the herald? What were the tidings?
The records are not particularly informative about A. C.
Nielsen. The Junction City Times only used the initials "A. C."
to refer to him. According to his great-grandson, Alfred
Christensen, his first name was Andreas and his middle
name was Christian, both common names in Denmark.

The Psychology Of A Mermaid: Understanding The Danish Psyche, Karen Lassen
The Bridge
"Way out in the ocean, the water is as blue as the petals of
the most beautiful cornflower and as clear as the cleanest
glass, but it is very deep, deeper than an anchor cable can
reach; many church steeples would have to be placed one on
top of the other in order to stretch from the bottom up to the
surface of the water. Down there live the Merpeople."

It was 20 years ago thst the Danish American Heritage Society (DAHS) came upon the scene. I used the term " came upon the scene" advisedly. Reflecting on the circumstances and discussions that led to the formation of the Society makes the term seem appropriate. It had been noted from time to time in the decases before that when Scandinavian American historians and writers assembled and the role of the Scandinavian immigrant was considered, The Danish Americans were conspicuous by their absence. In contrast,the Norwegian American Historical Association was formed in 1925, and has had a distinguished existence since then. …
Hans Christian Andersen's Statue In Lincoln Park, Chicago, Birgit F. Larsen
Hans Christian Andersen's Statue In Lincoln Park, Chicago, Birgit F. Larsen
The Bridge
I barely noticed that they placed me in a flag-draped automobile and that, accompanied by an escort, it progressed slowly down a wide avenue, while crowds of people on the sidewalks, children and adults, cheered enthusiastically. --We drove through a large park, many times larger than Kongens Have ("The King's Garden", a park in Copenhagen), and here, too, there were rows upon rows of people, and finally we stopped in front of a statue - and lo and behold, it was myself, and looked just like me, sitting with a young swan at my feet. -- Then my heart melted, …

Julius Strandberg And "The Almost White Child", Hans J. Strandberg
The Bridge
Why did more than 50 million people leave Europe for the United States in the second part of the 19th century? To understand the largest migration in history you have to look to the hopelessly poor living conditions which many people in the Old World lived under. To people living in an overpopulated and underpaid. Europe the idea of going to America where nothing was impossible but where "everything" was possible was immensely attractive.
