St. Paul, MN 2009. Near the end of her life, Mina Anderson wrote a lively, intimate memoir, a piece so interesting and informative that renowned Swedish novelist Vilhelm Moberg used it to shape the central female character of his beloved emigrant novels. But Mobergs archetypical Swedish settler Kristina is lonely and depressed, constantly yearning for her homeland.Minas story was quiet different.Shocasing this previously untranslated memoir, I Go To America traces Minas trip across the Atlantic to Wisconsin and then to the Twin Cities, where she worked as a domestic servant. It explores her move to rural Mille Lacs County, where she and her husband worked a farm, raised seven children, and contributed widely to rural Swedish community life through her poetry, fiction, and letters to Swedish American newspapers., English, Year2009, Illust.
