Of the numerous travelers through the American Northwest, noting the Scandinavian settlements or the conditions affecting them, the most significant is Frederika Bremer, _The Homes of the New World--Impressions of America_ (In translation from the Swedish, 3 vols., London, 1853), the work of an educated, alert, sympathetic Swedish lady already noted as a writer. Others of special worth are C. C. Andrews, _Minnesota and Dakota: in Letters Descriptive of a Tour through the Northwest in the Autumn of 1856_ (1857); Johan Bolin, _Beskrifning öfver Nord Amerikas Förenta Stater_ (Wexjö, 1853); A. Budde, _Af et Brev om Amerika_ (Stavanger, 1850); Basil Hall, _Travels in North America in the Years 1827-1828_ (1829, Edinburgh, 3 vols.); Thorvald Klavenes, _Det Norske Amerika_ (Kristiania, 1904); Harriet Martineau, _Society in Autumn of 1856_ (1857); Johan Bolin, _Beskrifning öfver Amerika_ (Göteborg, 1872); P. Waldenström, _Genom Norra Amerikas Förenta Stater: Reiseskildringar_ (Stockholm, 1890); Victor Wickström, _Som Tidningsman Jorden Rundt_ (Östersund, 1901). Of guidebooks and handbooks for emigrants and immigrants there is a great number, in English, Swedish, and Norwegian; some issued from philanthropic motives, some by interested States, railroad companies, land companies, and counties, and some by the United States. Only those that directly affected the Scandinavians, or that are typical of a period, are mentioned, and the list is not meant to be exhaustive of titles or editions. Some of the publications by States, might well have been put under the heading of State documents. One of the typical, widely circulated English handbooks is William Cobbett, _The Emigrant's Guide, in ten Letters addressed to the Taxpayers of England, containing Information of every Kind, necessary to Persons who are about to emigrate_ (London, 1829). A similar Norwegian pamphlet is L. J. Fribert, _Haandbog for Emigranter til Amerikas Vest_ (Christiania, 1847), or J. R. Reierson, _Veiviser for norske Emigranter til de forenede nordamerikanske Stater och Texas_ (Christiania, 1844, reprinted in America, 1899). The United States issued a guide: Edward Young, _Special Report on Immigration; accompanying Information for Immigrants_ (1871), reprinted in 1872, with editions in French and German. Other works are: Frederick B. Goddard, _Where to Emigrate and Why_ (1864); and Edward Young, _Information for Immigrants, relative to Prices and Rentals of Land, etc._ (1871).
