This review is from: Anna Norse Roots in Homestead Soil (Paperback)

"Anna: Norse roots in homestead soil" is the incredible story of Anna Guttormsen Hought, a Norwegian immegrant. She was 99 years old when she wrote this, and her memory remaind crisp and detailed. The story begins with her bright, sunny childhood in beautiful Norway. From there she became a working girl in Oslo. She immigrated to America as a single woman of 29, and took a pioneer's life, living in a one-room shack on the prairie.

This is a wonderful story of a life lived to its fullest. From sunshine and green grass, parties and marriage, to heartbreak and loss. This book really is a jem.

It is 142 pages, in decently large type, with many black and white pictures. It is an easy, exciting read and I reccomend it to anybody. This book is a MUST for anyone of Norwegian or Scandinavian heritage. Read "Anna: Norse roots in homestead soil", you will enjoy it.
