Published as part of the Images of America series issued by Arcadia, this work is a tribute to the state’s earliest Norwegian immigrants, and to generations of Norwegian-Americans who have made this small farming community their vesterheim for over 150 years. It is a tale told through historic photographs, many previously unreleased, and personal narratives. Spring Grove attempts to convey the universality of the Norwegian immigrant experience, and anyone with Norwegian roots who desires to learn more about their ancestors should find it an enjoyable and informative read.
