Description:In the late 19th century, Lowell, Massachusetts was one of the most popular American cities for Swedish immigrants hoping to start a new life. “Swedes in Lowell” is the modern translation of Olof Berntson’s 1917 book, “Svenskarne i Lowell, Mass.”, which documents the humble beginnings and robust growth of Lowell’s Swedish population from 1857 to 1917. Berntson lists the minutia of arrivals, marriages, births, and deaths, but also outlines the formation of Swedish religious congregations and community organizations in the city. “Swedes in Lowell” tells the story of this close-knit immigrant community using the broad strokes of historical perspective and the fine detailing of day-to-day living. Jacquelyn Merrill Ruiz originally translated Berntson's century-old book for her family, who couldn't read Swedish. She's included an introduction and an extensive index as well as side-by-side translation, to bring this rich history of Lowell Swedes to modern readers.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
