Little Norway: The Story of Petersburg by Donald R. Nelson

SOFT COVER - PHYSICAL BOOK : SHIPPING INCLUDED IN PRICE.

Some histories are researched. This one was lived.

Donald Nelson was born in Petersburg in 1931, graduated from its schools, worked its cold storage docks, and spent a lifetime watching the community his Norwegian predecessors built. When he sat down to write Little Norway, he brought all of it — the families, the fishing industry, the culture that crossed an ocean and planted itself on Mitkof Island.

The definitive account of Petersburg's Norwegian heritage, written by someone who was part of it.

Available in the Clausen Museum Store.
