She had promised herself that once they left the fjords of Norway, she woul d not look back. After three long years of scrimping and saving to buy tickets for their pas sage to America, Roald and Ingeborg Bjorklund, along with their son, Thorli ff, finally arrive at the docks of New York City. It was the promise of fre e land that fed their dream and lured them from their beloved home high abo ve the fjords of Norway in 1880. Together with Roald's brother Carl and his family, they will build a good life in a new land that promises untold wea lth and vast farmsteads for their children. As they join the throngs of countless immigrants passing through Castle Gar den, they soon discover that nothing is as they had envisioned it. Appalled by the horrid stories of fellow immigrants bilked of all their money and f orced to live in squalid living conditions, the Bjorklunds continue their l ong journey by train as far as Grand Forks. From there a covered wagon take s them into Dakota Territory, where they settle on the banks of the Red Riv er. But there was no way for them to foresee the price they will have to pa y to wrest a living from the indomitable land. The virgin prairie refuses t o yield its treasure without a struggle. Will they be strong enough to over come the hardships of that first winter? Proud of Their Heritage and Sustained by Their Faith, They Came to Tame a New Land.
