Insight into Immigrant Life,

This review is from: Grass of The Earth: Immigrant Life in the Dakota Country (Borealis Books) (Paperback)
I was interested because my roots were from Norway. This book was interesting but lack that "something" which could have made it that much more interesting and informative. All if all it was OK.
