[27] Anne (b. 1814), Nels (b. 1816), Inger (b. 1819), and Martha (b. 1823). [28] Ellen (b. 1807), Ove (b. 1809), Lars (b. 1812), John (b. 1821), Hulda (b. 1825). [29] Rachel (b. 1807), Julia (b. 1810), Senena (b. 1814). [30] Sara (b. 1818), Anna Maria (b. 1819), Caroline (b. 1825). After a perilous voyage of fourteen weeks they landed in New York, October ninth. An account of that voyage, which also it seems was a rather adventurous one, was given by the New York papers at the time; it was reproduced in Norwegian translation in _Billed-Magazin_ in 1869, whence it has been copied in other works. The arrival of this first party of Norwegian immigrants, and in so small a boat, created nothing less than a sensation at the time, as we may infer from the wide attention the event received in the eastern press. Thus the _New York Daily Advertiser_ for October twelfth, 1825, under the head lines, "A Novel Sight," gives an account of the boat, the destination of the immigrants, the country they came from, their appearance, etc. For this citation I may refer the reader to page 39 of my article on "The Coming of the Norwegians to Iowa" in _The Iowa Journal of History and Politics_, 1905, or to R. B. Anderson's _First Chapter of Norwegian Immigration_, 1896, 70-71. In New York the immigrants met Mr. Joseph Fellows, a Quaker, from whom they purchased land in Orleans County, New York. It seems to have been upon the suggestion of Mr. Fellows that they were induced to settle here, although it is possible that the land had already been selected for them by Kleng Peerson, who was in New York at the time. The price to be paid for the land was five dollars an acre, each head of a family and adult person purchasing forty acres. The immigrants not being able to pay for the land, Mr. Fellows agreed to let them redeem it in ten annual installments. For the further history of the colony, with which we are here not so much concerned, the reader is referred to Knud Langeland's _Nordmaendene i Amerika_, Chicago, 1889, pp. 10-19, or to Anderson's _First Chapter_, pp. 77-90. We have already mentioned Kleng Peerson, a name familiar to every student of Norwegian pioneer history. Much has been written about this pathfinder in the West, and romance and legend already adorn his memory. It would be interesting to recount what we know of his life in America, but as this has been dealt with at length by Professor R. B. Anderson in his monograph on Norwegian Immigration, which is in large part devoted to the slooper's history, I may refer the interested reader to this work. _Symra_ (Decorah, Iowa) for 1906 also contains a brief, somewhat eulogistic account in Norwegian of Peerson's stay in New York and his journey of exploration to Illinois, Missouri, and Texas. The briefest facts I may, however, relate here.
