Scandinavian Thrift in a Minnesota Scandinavian Settlement
A 16 year survey contrasts original Scandinavian settlers in northwestern Minnesota with later American-born neighbors. The early Scandinavians lived in dugouts, faced poverty, and were unsettled by Chippewa activity. Today, Americans failed from the same ground but Scandinavians prosper, with modern farms, tools, and credit. The piece notes assimilation, improved living, and durable credit, while debunking claims that Scandinavians hoard produce or forego food. It ends with a Berliner Cor correspondent aboard the Wilhelm at a palace visit.
