About this product

Product Information

The first Finnish immigrants arrived in Red Wing in 1864, the vanguard of thousands who eventually and resolutely placed Minnesota second among the states in terms of Finnish population. Today we may recognise Minnesota's Finnishness in the popular sauna, in the characteristic tenacity kwn as sisu, or in place names and cultural markers that link to homeland. The newest contribution to the People of Minnesota series traces the Finns' migration to the state, particularly its rth-eastern region; their log construction techniques, including dovetail tching; and their ethnic organisations, from religious to political to fraternal. Colourful sidebars enliven the narrative, highlighting such topics as Finglish , New World legends, and the 1920s Olympic competitors in track and field kwn as the Flying Finns . A separate thread tells the story of the Finland Swedes the mirity within a mirity whose members were born in Finland but spoke Swedish and thus straddled two ethnic groups, belonging fully to neither. The book concludes with a personal narrative of Fred Torma (1888-1979), a miner and carpenter from Nashwauk, who describes establishing a Socialist hall, involvement in the 1907 Mesabi strike, and founding a co-operative boarding-house and store. His is just one engaging example of the vibrant lives and legacy of Finnish Americans in Minnesota.

    Objet (CD) bien reçu et conforme à la description et parfaitement emballé. Délais de livraison assez longs (3-4 semaines), mais tout à fait acceptables étant donné la provenance des USA et surtout : les frais de port gratuits. Et des prix très attractifs et honnêtes. Ça vaut largement le coup ! Vendeur très sérieux et digne de son statut de pro. Je recommande ! Merci.

    El CD vino sellado y es completamente nuevo. Llego en excelentes condiciones, nuevo, aunque el empaque no tenía mucha protección (era un sobre de cartón), pero fue suficiente. El envío demoró, pero sin exceder el límite. En todo caso, el precio del envío fue bastante económico. Estoy muy contento y recomiendo a este vendedor. Sus precios son razonables y la calidad y aspecto de los productos son como los describe.
