{"product_id":"the-central-iowa-norwegians-volume-2","title":"The Central Iowa Norwegians, Volume 2","description":"Norwegian immigrants founded a settlement southwest of Cambridge, Iowa, in June 1855 and a second colony east of Story City in June 1856. By 1861, at least 644 Norwegians had moved to or been born in Story, northern Polk, and southern Hamilton counties. This book identifies each of them in biographical profiles of the families who lived in central Iowa during 1855–1860. Trace the 396 immigrants from their farms in southwestern Norway to central Iowa. Discover the prices they paid for land and timber lots and the agricultural products they reported on the 1860 Census. Experience what life was like in frontier Iowa through memoirs written by central Iowa Norwegians, and learn about their contact with Meskwaki Indians who hunted and trapped alongside the Skunk River.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0998500216\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0998500216.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Twedt, Arlen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43300604313661,"sku":"BVV.0998500216.VG","price":20.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0998500216-0.jpg?v=1782596636","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-central-iowa-norwegians-volume-2","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
