Wisconsin Territory's first Dane arrived in 1829, and by 1860 the state's Danish-born population had reached 1,150. Yet these newcomers remained only a small segment of Wisconsin's increasingly complex cultural mosaic, and the challenges of adapting to life in this new land shaped the Danish experience in the state. In this popular book, now revised and expanded with additional historical photos and documents, Frederick Hale offers a concise introduction to Wisconsin's Danish settlers, exploring their reasons for leaving their homeland, describing their difficult journeys, and examining their adjustments to life on Wisconsin soil.
New to this edition are the selected letters of Danish immigrant Andrew Frederickson. These compelling documents, written over a 40-year span, capture the personal observations of one Dane as he made a new life in Wisconsin.

Danes in Wisconsin
Minnesota is my home state, and though I was born not far from Frogtown, my childhood was lived in the north metro suburbs. In many ways -- economically, culturally -- I lived a world apart. What I deeply appreciated about this book is the way it helped me to reunite these worlds into one place. This is a book about Minnesotans. It is made by a Minnesotan, who just happens to be an outstanding photographer, and, better yet, a great artist who shares his work in the communities that help him shape it.
Key passage: "A photograph can be as much a piece of fiction as it is a document of the real world--these realms are separate yet somehow complicitous. Indeed, the most compelling photographs shed light on reality in much the way good fiction does." (p. 6)
