| Summary | "A History of Norwegian Immigration to the United States" by George T. Flom is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book meticulously chronicles the waves of Norwegian immigration from its inception up until the year 1848, detailing the socio-economic factors that motivated individuals and families to leave their homeland for America. By focusing on the immigrants' challenges and settlements, Flom provides a rich context for understanding the Norwegian influence in American life. The opening of the work sets the stage by highlighting the author’s intent to cover the origins and growth of Norwegian settlements in the United States, emphasizing both the significant historical events leading up to 1848 and the personal stories of pioneers. The introduction addresses the landscape of Norway, its economic hardships, and the societal conditions that propelled many to emigrate. Flom also acknowledges the role that letters from the early settlers played in inspiring further migration, showcasing a blend of research and narrative that forms the foundation for a detailed exploration of Norwegian-American history. The opening conveys the importance of understanding this immigration movement not only as a population shift but as a crucial part of shaping the cultural and social fabric of the United States.
