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. …

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, …

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.

"Left to go to America," teacher Johannes Frederik
Christensen wrote opposite Sophie Pauline Christine
Pedersen in the June, 1884 Kindertofte village school's attendance
and examination class register. For Sophie, daughter of
laborer P. Christian Pedersen, as for the other 1,261 emigrants
under sixteen that left Denmark in 1884 with their families,1
her first meeting with education would greatly contribute to
any success in the new country. The Danish school system
and the village teacher would cast long shadows.

I never tire of hearing stories about Danish immigrants coming to America in the 1800' s. Their courage fills me with admiration because few of them would ever see their homeland or families again. My own great-grandparents Jens and Kristine Bagge arrived in June of 1863. Kristine died a few years later leaving five small children behind. We know she was lonely for Denmark.

Father, Otto Christensen, was born in 1875 on a farm
that lay on the edge of the North Sea in Jutland, Denmark.
When he was four his mother died and his father remarried.
He spent his childhood tending sheep and cattle and playing
in the sand dunes and heather along the sea. He must have
spent much time dreaming his dreams.

Danish-American folklife consists of the expressions of
traditional culture that identify Americans of Danish heritage
as belonging to this small ethnic group.
Encompassing a full range of expressive behavior, ranging
from building and decorating immigrant homes to crafting
intricate patterns with knitting needles, scissors, hammer
and anvil, Danish-American folklife includes any form of
knowledge or skill that is learned by observation or imitation
within a community context (Hansen 1988:23)

They came singly and in small groups in the 1850' s. A
few settled in the cities, others moved on to the lumber
forests of Michigan and Wisconsin while more made their
destination the fertile farmlands of the midwest. A few of
the even more adventurous crossed the country or made
the long sail around the Straits of Magellan to California.

Those of us who grew up in the Danish-American
colonies of the 30' s and 40' s experienced a life that has
now disappeared. It was a rich and unique life. It was a
time of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation immigrants adjusting
to the American culture and at the same time cherishing
their particular brand of Danish heritage.
