Reviews

"Swedes in Minnesota is a refreshing primer on this state's Swedish American community, past and present. Woven among stories of those who helped give shape to this state are unexpected delights: the short-lived colony of Minnesota Swedes in Cuba; excerpts of a young Swedish woman's memoirs from the early 1900s; and even two families' treasured recipes for Swedish meatballs. This book was clearly a labor of love for the author; in it, we find a piece of our heritage."
--Bruce Karstadt, Executive Director, American Swedish Institute
