The third volume of From American to Norway is the final book of collected letters written by Norwegian–American immigrants from the years 1893 to 1914. During this time many Norwegians had left their homeland; traveled to America; and settled in the Midwest. The intended audience for letters home gradually transitioned from the expectation that letters were to be shared and published in local Norwegian communities to their recognition as a private form of communication.The challenges and opportunities that immigrants faced are described in these letters. The funny; sad; poignant; and inspirational experiences of the settlers are related from an intensely personal point of view.

It is very difficult to read because of all of the typos; misused punctuation ; run on sentences; and misspellings. I suggest you have someone edit it for you and publish a revised edition. I hate to be harsh; because I know you put a lot of time and effort into this; but have another set of eyes review it for you. I think you have a story to tell.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. People need to know the truth.By AchotaThank you for taking the time to write your book. You are very fortunate to be chosen by Kochi to enlighten folks about the true nature of the forest people. Sorry you and Violet had to go through so much and be taken advantage of. No wonder Kochi didn't care for that parasitic woman who latched on to you. So glad you escaped and are doing better. Please continue to write more books and thank you for caring about the forest people.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
