Description
The story of Andrew Peterson of Scandia, Minnesota, is a wonderful account of the building of our multifaceted country. It is the story of immigrants coming to the wilderness of the Midwest where they carved their lives on the prairies, in the forests and by the lakes, laying the foundations of modern America. The story documents not only the few brave families who settled the small country of
Carver, Minnesota, but also the strong ties between Sweden and the new land. It is a story that we Swedish-Americans can take great pride in, because it is our story. Here we find an honest account of the real people based upon the remarkable diary of Andrew Peterson. - from Amzon
