Synopsis
Excerpt from The Changing West, and Other Essays
I trust that Professor Larson will permit me to add that his friends and associates desired to bring out this book in honor of his election to the vice presidency, and his forth coming elevation to the presidency, of the American His torical Association. When, about a year and a half ago, I ventured to suggest to him the idea of bringing together in book form some of his essays, I was well aware of the fact that his previously published works were mainly in the field of English and early Norse history, but I also knew of his deep interest in the story of the Norwegians in America, and I expressed the hope that he would focus his attention Upon that subject. He took kindly to the suggestion and the result is the present volume. The norwegian-american Historical Association feels honored in being permitted to sponsor the book, and in doing so it offers its congratula tions to Professor Larson not only upon the high distinction that has come to'him at the hands of the national historical organization but also upon the many and important con tributions that he has made to American historiography.

The Changing West, and Other Essays (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the development of the Midwest and Northwest through the lens of Norwegian American immigration and settlement. The author, a prominent historian, argues that the traditional narrative of American history, which emphasizes the role of Puritan New Englanders and the Cavalier South, neglects the significant contributions of the Scotch-Irish and other immigrant groups. The book explores the unique experiences and perspectives of Norwegian American pioneers, their role in shaping the region's social, political, and cultural landscape, and the challenges they faced as they sought to balance their Norwegian heritage with their new American identity. The author draws on a wealth of research and personal anecdotes to present a vivid and nuanced account of this important chapter in American history.
