Transatlantic Connections: Nordic Migration To The New World After 1800, Hans Norman, Harald Runblom, George Nielsen, Reviewer
Transatlantic Connections: Nordic Migration To The New World After 1800, Hans Norman, Harald Runblom, George Nielsen, Reviewer
The Bridge
Transatlantic Encounters is actually two books in one. The first half of the study, written by Hans Norman, describes the conditions in Europe, while the second part, written by Harald Runblom, describes the immigrants in America. Instead of limiting the topic to Scandinavians (Danes, Norwegians, and Swedes), Norman and Runblom identify their subjects as Nordic, in order to include the Finns and Icelanders. Relying heavily on earlier research, and following the usual stages of migration history, the authors have produced a survey of the migration from these five countries to the United States.

Johannes Knudsen: The Cultural Context Of His Youth, Aage V. Knudsen
Johannes Knudsen: The Cultural Context Of His Youth, Aage V. Knudsen
The Bridge
The editor of The Bridge asked me to describe the early life of Johannes Henrik Vilstrup Knudsen: his childhood in Tyler, Minnesota, his youth in Denmark, and his interaction with Danes and Danish Americans. My brother's life spanned from 1902 to 1982, but it was the cultural context of his youth that molded his character. Many years ago, Johannes presented me with a copy of Danish Rebel, his book about Grundtvig. He inscribed it with these words, "Lest we forget." This expressed his love and the obligation he felt for the rich heritage he received. That heritage became his lodestar.

Johannes Knudsen As An Educator: A Conversation With Harry Jensen, Thorvald Hansen

In the fall of 1927 Johannes Knudsen began what was to be a lifelong teaching career. For the next eight years he was to teach at Grand View College and in the theological seminary there. He taught courses in Danish as well as in Scandinavian literature. In the Seminary his specialty was Church History. It was far from his first contact with Grand View. He had lived there as a youth, from 1912 until 1915, while his father was president of that institution. Later he attended the high school department there. In 1920, when his parents returned to Denmark, he …

J. Christian Bay And His Account Of Hans Christian Andersen's Visit To Chicago, Rolf Erickson
The Bridge
The legendary Jens Christian Bay, librarian of the John Crerar Library of Chicago, and Danish-American writer, never met Hans Christian Andersen, of course, since he had been but three years old when Andersen died in 1875. And, Hans Christian Andersen never visited America though he had been offered countless invitations.

Harald P. Nielsen Saga, Ivan E. Nielsen
The Bridge
When I was asked to do a history on Harald P. Nielsen in observance of the 100th anniversary of his birth, I envisioned a relatively short sketch. It developed into much more than that. In this paper I have documented, quoted and plagiarized. I hope I have conveyed facts as accurately as possible. I am especially grateful to the following for their contributions: Vagn Duus, Inga Kroman-Kelly, Ove Nielsen, Viggo Nielsen, and Emerald Swenson.

Until recently a 19th century ballad, entitled "Amerikavisan" ("The America Ballad") or "Lovsang over det fjaran Amerika" ("In Praise of the Far Off America") has survived in the Swedish-language oral tradition of Minnesota.
A Bilingual Editor, Thorvald Hansen
A Bilingual Editor, Thorvald Hansen
The Bridge
Editors are, in a sense, people in the middle. They stand between those who write and those who read. They must be conscious of the wishes and the feelings of both groups without sacrificing their own or the publication's integrity. They must have a reasonable familiarity with language and grammar, as well as reason and logic. They must often act as a judge without letting their own inclinations and preferences take the limelight. When their work is with a bilingual publication the problems are compounded.
The Theological Contributions Of Johannes V. Knudsen, Axel Kildegaard
The Theological Contributions Of Johannes V. Knudsen, Axel Kildegaard
The Bridge
"The glory of God is man fully alive." That quotation attributed to lreneus, Church father and first systematic theologian, is about 1800 years old. It affords a clue in my search for the common thread that runs throughout the seemingly diverse theological interests of Johannes V. Knudsen. The Celt, lreneus, Bishop of Lyons, who lived in the volatile second century when the Christian tradition was taking shape, wrote two significant works. One defined the basic Christian teachings, and the other, Against the Heresies, answered false teachings. These works spoke also to the interests of Bishop N.F.S. Grundtvig in 19th century …
The Development And Failure Of Historic Agricultural Communities Of Utah: A Case Study Of Johns Valley, Utah, Wayne R. Shelley
The Development And Failure Of Historic Agricultural Communities Of Utah: A Case Study Of Johns Valley, Utah, Wayne R. Shelley
Theses and Dissertations
Many agricultural communities have developed in Utah since the first settlement, but many no longer exist today. Some of these early communities experienced a "boom and bust," while others struggled for several years and were eventually abandoned. Johns Valley is a good example of these historic communities, as it experienced rapid growth and times of success and prosperity, yet it struggled and was eventually abandoned.
The situation in Johns Valley, from its early settlement to its demise, demonstrates the hope of the people who settled there and their efforts to make Johns Valley a productive and successful area. History also …
The Relevance Of Our Heritage, Johannes Knudsen
The Relevance Of Our Heritage, Johannes Knudsen
The Bridge
Are the traditional fellowship values of the American Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, of Grand View College and the Folk Schools, viable today? This is the most important question facing us as a group, and it is expressed in our theme through the term "relevance." We must therefore ask what relevance means. According to the dictionary it means that something is "lifted up again" or that it "bears upon the matter at hand." When this definition is applied to personal or group values, it means that these values continue to be alive and important or that they are lifted out …
Saints In The Secular City: A History Of The Los Angeles Stake, Chad M. Orton
Saints In The Secular City: A History Of The Los Angeles Stake, Chad M. Orton
Theses and Dissertations
Beginning in 1847 and continuing to the turn of the century, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) were encouraged to gather to Utah, where they formed communities seperated from the evils of the world around them. While Mormonism continues to be closely associated with Utah, in 1989 it is a world-wide church with nearly seven million members, most residing outside of Utah, and many of these in major urban areas. Nevertheless, few studies have been made of how the Church has developed outside of Utah.
When the Los Angeles Stake was organized in 1923, it …
Effects Of A Parent/Teen Workshop, Roberta Magarrell
Effects Of A Parent/Teen Workshop, Roberta Magarrell
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to investigate the short-term effect of a parent-teen structured family facilitation program (PAT). The study compared pre and post workshop scores on a number of dependent variables in a workshop, a replication of the workshop, and a comparison group.
Analysis of the data revealed no significant differences from pretest to post test in either of the groups. However when the groups were combined there were some statistically significant differences from pretest to post test. The fathers increased in their ability to transfer control while the mothers decreased in kindness. A few post hoc analyses …

At several of Danebo Home summer festivals little one-act pieces were performed out on the lawn. Yes, there was a time when practically everyone of Danish origin understood and was happy to hear the Danish language. Now it is seldom that anything is done in Danish, although there is still the singing of Danish songs, especially in the Danish Reading Circle. This "Laesekreds" has existed for I don't know how many years. It is perhaps a continuation of St. Peder's Church Young People's Society. This latter group has certainly also been a live circle of men and women who met …

Christian Hansen, "The Fairy Tale Man", Johannes Knudsen, Gudrun Nielsen, Translator
The Bridge
My grandfather, Christian Hansen, came to Tyler, Minnesota, 100 years ago (1888) to make his home and to assist Pastor H. J. Pedersen in the building and founding of a folk high school. Pedersen had just been selected to be the first pastor of the newly formed congregation and the area was beginning to develop from virgin prairie to an agricultural community. Christian Hansen was a member of the first faculty of the folk school and throughout his long life he contributed much to establishing a Danish-American cultural enclave which became known as Danebod.
