Hale describes the mass emigration from Sweden to the Midwest that began during the late 1860s and fundamentally changed both Sweden and the Midwest. During this time more than a million Swedes left their homeland for North America, motivated at least in part by a huge population surge that overtaxed Sweden's relatively small amount of arable land (agriculture served until the twentieth century as the Swedish economy's mainstay). Updates for the new edition include new photos and excerpts from letters Swedish novelist and feminist Fredrika Bremer wrote to her sister while touring the Wisconsin frontier in the autumn of 1850. 410 0$aPeople of Wisconsin 606 $aSwedish Americans$zWisconsin$xHistory 615 0$aSwedish Americans$xHistory. 676 $a977.5/004397073 676 $a977.5004397073 700 $aHale$b Frederick$f1948-$01857349 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966264203321 996 $aSwedes in Wisconsin$94459262 997 $aUNINA
