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 …

"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.

"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."

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, …

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. …

"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.

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.

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.
Black Immigrant Community Of Washington, D.C.: A Public History Approach, Portia James
Black Immigrant Community Of Washington, D.C.: A Public History Approach, Portia James
Trotter Review
In the Washington, D.C. area contemporary Black community life has been shaped in large part by a pattern of migration and settlement of African Americans from southern states. But international immigration has also made its mark on the local Black community. Today, Washington and its suburbs in Virginia and Maryland are home to significant populations of Black people from Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. This international movement of people has resulted in the broadening of Black community life and the development of a multicultural and multi-ethnic Black population in the area.
