Scandinavians -- United States
Important articles in periodicals: F. W. Hewes, "Where our Immigrants
Settle" (with excellent statistical maps), _World's Work_, VI (1903); G.
G. Huebner, "The Americanization of the Immigrant," _Annals of the
American Academy of Political and Social Science_, XXVII (1906);
Richmond Mayo-Smith, "Control of Immigration", _Political Science
Quarterly_, III, 46, 197, 404 (1888); G. H. Schwab, "A Practical Remedy
for the Evils of Immigration," _Forum_, XVI (1893); Nicolay A. Grevstad,
"Courts of Conciliation," and "Courts of Conciliation in America,"
_Atlantic_, LXVIII (1891), LXXII (1893).
Various numbers of _Normands-Forbundet_, published in Christiania, have
contained noteworthy articles, besides those mentioned elsewhere in
this bibliography, dealing with American conditions: S. Sondresen, "Den
norsk-amerikanske farmer" (1908); J. Dieserud, "Nordmændenes
deltagelse i de Forenede Staters politiske liv" (1908); M. Alger,
"Re-immigrationen" (1913); Av. Kand. Gottenborg, "Hjemvandte
norsk-amerikanere, deres livsforhold i Amerika og i Norge efter
hjemkomste" (1913); O. K. Winberg, "Degenererer Nordmænd i Amerika"
(1910).
Three small novels contain particularly graphic accounts of the life and
social conditions among the Norwegian settlers: P. O. Strömme,
_Hvorledes Halvor blev Prest_ (1893), one of the very best pictures of
pioneer immigrant family life; H. A. Foss (translated by J. J.
Skordalsvold), _Tobias, a Story of the Northwest_, an exaggerated
account of intemperance; and Sigurd H. Severson, _Dei möttes ve Utica.
En paa personlig Iagttagelse grundet Skildring af Livet i ældre
Norsk-Amerikanske Settlementer_ (1882).
