Description: "Two and a half million people from the Nordic countries headed for the New World during the period of translantic emigration, 1825-1930. Scandinavia was among the source areas in Europe most affected by this mass phenomenon. In certain regions emigration took large shares of young age groups. Most of the emigrants headed for destinations in North America. Only minor currents went to Australia and Latin America"--Bk. jacket.
