Description
Imagine the lives of early 20th century Danish immigrants in South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa. In this book, told mostly by second generation members of Danish immigrant families in the upper Midwest, we encounter precious glimpses of life as it was then. We hear about joys and sorrows, success and failure, celebration and tragedy, births and deaths,even deceit and murder.Most of these stories were written by Fred Hansen, who grew up in Hecla, South Dakota, and became a veterinarian like his uncle. Fred wrote about a time long disappeared just for the joy of telling a good story. For decades they were filed and forgotten in family papers. Now we get to hear them, fresh as when they were written. In his first paragraph Fred writes that he hoped someday a granddaughter would hear these stories and say, "That old grandpa you told about was pretty lucky. He had a horse." We are lucky to have them. So, spend a few hours in a comfortable chair as these tales take you back to rural immigrant life over a century ago. Share them with your family; you won't regret it.
