Sommario/riassunto |
|
Jennifer Eastman Attebery offers a new perspective on Swedish immigrantsÕ experiences in Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico from 1880 to 1917 by interpreting their letters home. Recognizing the lettersÕ power as a folk form, Attebery provides a model for discerning immigrantsÕ shared culture in correspondence collections and brings to life small Swedish communities throughout the Rocky Mountain region. |
