This collection of essays is published in memory of Jon Gjerde, who was professor of history at the University of California at Berkeley until his premature death on October 26, 2008. He was 55 years old. For years Jon Gjerde worked incessantly within the field of Norwegian-American history. His research, publications, and teaching had taken him from Balestrand to Berkeley, from a study of emigration from a small community on the western coast of Norway to an important chair in American history at Berkeley. Like few others, Gjerde had the capacity to focus on details of immigration history and culture and, in the same way, to generate an interest in the overall picture of immigration.

Norwegian-American documents and records have been studied and continue to be read and analyzed in the context of both Norwegian and American history, and in the light of contemporary international migration studies. Six of the essays included are based on papers delivered at the NAHA-Norway conference held at the Norwegian Emigrant Museum in June, 2009. The remaining essays were all solicited especially for this volume.…

If you have never been tempted to visit Norway before, one look at this gorgeous book and you will be on your way. The hotels featured here were all built some 150 years ago, in a flamboyant architectural style, with ornately carved gables, intricately perforated verandas, banisters, railings, towers and dragons. They have been restored to their original charm, and the brilliant color photographs do justice to these structures, their furnishings, and the magnificent landscape they occupy. In a lively text the histories of each hotel and their environs are related, and embellished with references to folklore and local anecdote.
