Four biographies stand out above the others: T. N. Hasselquist, _Lefnadsteckning af E. Norelius_; L. A. Stenholt, _En Studie af Knute Nelson_ (1896); Chr. O. Brohough, and I. Eisteinsen, _Kortfattet Beretning om Elling Eielsens Liv og Virksomhed_ (1883); and L. M. Björn, _Pastor P. A. Rasmussen_ (1905). Other biographies of less significance for this study are: C. J. Rosenberg, _Jenny Lind in America_ (1851); Sara C. Bull, _Ole Bull_ (1883); W. C. Church, _Life of John Ericsson_ (2 vols., 1890). Other collected biographies, including Scandinavians, are: J. C. Jensson, _American Lutheran Biographies_ (1890); _Men of Minnesota_ (1902); F. G. Flower, _Biographical Souvenir Book_ (1899), relating to North Dakota alone; _Prominent Democrats of Illinois_ (1899); H. A. Tenney, and D. Atwood, _Fathers of Wisconsin_ (1880); C. J. A. Erickson, "Memories of a Swedish Immigrant," _Annals of Iowa,_ April, 1907. RELIGION, EDUCATION, AND THE PRESS No attempt is made here at a bibliography of the abundant polemical religious literature, nor of the sermons and proceedings of church conventions, nor of denominational year books, further than to show the material contributing to this volume. In similar manner, a limit is put upon the list of catalogs and publications of colleges and seminaries, and upon the periodicals and newspapers of which the number is very large. A very recent and excellent volume dealing with Norwegian progress and culture in America is _Norsk-Amerikanernes Festskrift, 1914_ (Chief Editor, Johs. B. Wist) which was prepared as an American contribution to the celebration of the centennial of Norwegian independence. Important chapters are devoted to the press (noted below), the churches, schools, literature, and men in public or political life, each being the work of a careful scholar.
