Inhaltsangabe

A young bride, Caja Munch accompanied her husband, Johan Storm Munch, from Norway to Wisconsin where he had received his first call to become pastor of several newly organized Norwegian Lutheran congregations. Her letters to her parents, written during a four-year period, 1855–59, and Pastor Munch’sAn American Adventure, an excerpt from his “Vita Mea,” written fifty years after the visit to America, provide, with an uncanny timelessness and a distinct and charming literary style, perspectives on the immigrant in rural America which will be of con­siderable interest to general readers as well as historians and sociologists.
