This will tell you why Norwegians left the homeland for USA.,
By shirleysorenson@yahoo.com (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sexual Customs in Rural Norway-93 (Hardcover)
If your ancestors left Norway for the USA in the Nineteenth Century, and if you want to know about their life in the 'old country' this book will tell you. Originally published in Norway in 1857, it is not fiction, it is real life, a study by a sociologist who went into rural Norway and wrote about the common people. There is nothing to compare to this information. The translation is excellent and very readable. Do not let the title mislead you, this book is not about sex, it is about life in rural Norway, what the people wore, what they ate, how they lived.
