Focusing on the Norwegian period of their lives makes this book uniquely informative and valuable, since there are already many good books about the American period. Ten out of twelve chapters concern aspects of life in Norway, such as the church, courting and marriage, education, and trading and markets. The remaining two chapters concern the circumstances that led to emigration and the founding of Norwegian communities in America. If you are researching your relatives in Norway, this book is a must-read, full of valuable, practical, and interesting information.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51894950920480,"sku":"NEW1886627134","price":88.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51UwBFo7c4L.jpg?v=1782028375","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/between-rocks-and-hard-places-1886627134","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
