Editor's Introduction
In 1892, at the invitation of a Danish immigrant who had married a Cherokee woman in what was then Indian Territory, the Danish Lutheran Church Association sent a student from Trinity Seminary in Blair, Nebraska, to investigate the possibility of doing mission work among the Cherokee.

There have been many Scandinavian immigrants who have left their hearts in the great American Southwest.

In Danish settlements throughout the United States,
Jmmigrants often formed reading clubs within which their

was founded in Chicago in 1897 and remained in existence
until 1977.
