About this title

Synopsis

The second in the series of in-depth investigations of urban immigrant life in America's great cities from the Norwegian-American Historical Association (NAHA), this work continues the correction of the previous rural bias in the historiography of the group. It also contributes to a significantly more multi-faceted view of Norwegian and, indeed, European international migration by focusing attention on an East coast community that developed primarily through the irregular, often illegal immigration of merchant seamen.
