Description: "This book unwraps a bundle of old 'America letters' written in the 1850's by a Norwegian minister in Wisconsin, the frontier to which immigrants were streaming in search of the Promised Land. In letters to his home in Norway the author, Olaus Fredrik Duus, chronicled the everyday and Sunday doings of a frontier pastor who was also farmer, teacher, land speculator, and even amateur practitioner of medicine."--Book jacket.
