Historical Notes About The Danish American Fellowship Of Minnesota, Caroline Olsen

The Bridge

This is the story of the Danish American Fellowship of the Twin Cities. But before its founding in 1948 there were many separate Danish organizations and events that led to the founding of the Fellowship, a co-ordinating organization that united many groups. Wherever there have been settlements of Danish immigrants there have been Danish social organizations, not always in harmony with one another.

Kirkegaard Families' Years On The Nebraska Prairie, Jean Matteson

The Bridge

Anders Laugesen Nielsen Kirkegaard (1860-1940), son of Lauge Nielsen and Sidsel Marie Kristiansen, was born in Harbo0re, Ringk0bing Parish, Ringk0bing County, Denmark, on October 4, 1860. After attending grade school near his home, he moved to Copenhagen where he became a carpenter's apprentice. At the age of eighteen, having a workable knowledge of God, he felt a calling toward the ministry. He wondered whether he should go to Asia or America. With the help of friends, Kirkegaard chose the latter. Kirkegaard returned to Copenhagen where he had been a carpenter and a soldier, and a student at the Copenhagen School …

Grandfather Rasmus B. Nielsen's Written Account Of His Life From Birth Until He Emigrated From Denmark To The United States, Harald R. Jensen

The Bridge

Born the 4th of August 1851. Son of Niels Kristensen and wife, Karen Marie (born Rasmussen). I have very few recollections from my childhood. Father, I can remember, but only faintly. However, I can remember the birth of a little sister and can recall she was very sick and weak. She suffered from a contagious sickness, which was very dangerous. After she fell ill, I was sent to my grandparents in Sk0rring. I don't know how old I was then, but that is where I grew up. I shall try, from memory, to picture the character and life of my …

In-Migration And Settlement Of Danes In Howard County, Nebraska, Rasmus B. Nielsen

The Bridge

What I write here is not historical but is simply experiences and memories after having lived in Howard County some 48 years. Last summer in Dannebrog we had an Old Settlers' Picnic, but there were not many of the old settlers left from 1871 and 1872 when the first Danes began to settle in this county. Mrs. Lerke Sorensen and Mrs. Lars Hannibal were the first white women to settle in Howard County, along with their husbands. Lars Hannibal and Lerke Sorenson were actually the founders of the colony which was organized in Wisconsin with the objective of going to …

Story Of Karen Henriksen Bondo, Chaplain Lauritz H. Pedersen, Anton Hansen

The Bridge

What might be told about the many of our countrymen who have emigrated from little Denmark and scattered throughout the world would not always make pleasant listening. Our common mother has not always rejoiced because of the children who have left her shores. Many a son and daughter have strayed so far that their heritage has been totally forgotten. On the other hand, there have been many who have carried the best of Denmark's culture with them. Of those who immigrated to America, Wm. J. Knudsen is no doubt one of the most noted. Another, whose life and work came …

Meta M. Hedemann: From 1878

The Bridge

I have often been asked, "Why did you and your husband leave Denmark and go so far away . .. adventuring?" We did not go adventuring. My husband was offered a position with a Mr. Unna, an old friend of his father's, who owned a sugar plantation on the island of Maui, one of the Sandwich Islands, as Hawaii was called at that time. Mr. Unna wanted to improve, rearrange, or maybe even build a new sugar factory. He had heard much about a very big, modem sugar mill on one of the islands of the West Indies, which had …

Danish Artists Of The American West: Olaf Seltzer And Olaf Wieghorst, Cecilia Ibsen Larsen

The Bridge

If you mix cowboys, Indians, Danes and paint, you come up with two remarkable artists, Olaf Seltzer and Olaf Wieghorst. These two men came to America from Denmark and, after living and working here for numbers of years, produced art that is as American as American art can get. Their subject was the Old West. Although their trips were 27 years apart, both Seltzer and Wieghorst came to America in their teens. Both worked at other occupations until they had developed the skills necessary to survive as artists. Both chose the West as their subject matter; both were named Olaf; …

Reminiscences At The Celebration Of My Folks' First Seventy Married Years, 1911-1981, Axel Nielsen

The Bridge

"Reminiscences" is the title ascribed to the talk that Axel Nielsen made at the celebration of his parents' 70th wedding anniversary. His sister-in-law, Enola Nielsen writes, "He wanted to say something for the folks at the anniversary so he started writing a little in a yellow spiral-ring notebook. He'd write a little bit more each evening and it just kept going. I've seen the handwritten notebook, and he just filled up the page from top to bottom without ever scratching out a word or changing anything. No outline, no overall plan - not at all the 'right' way to write! …

Personajes Femeninos En Veinticinco Comedias De Luis Velez De Guevara, Hilma Maria Espinosa

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

A study of the feminine characters in twenty-five plays by Luis Vélez de Guevara, taken from three general categories of the Spencer and Shevill listing: sixteen "comedias novelescas," seven "histórico-novelescas," and two "comedias divinas."

Each play studied is provided with a short historical bibliography, a brief summary of the plot and the analysis of its feminine characters.

By means of this character, an attempt is made to determine Vélez's special perception and sensibility with regard to the feminine generally and to the treatment of women in a society that the Spanish theater of the Golden Age to some extent reflects. …
