xii, 375 p. ; 23 cm. The classic history of this emblematic moment in U.S. immigration. In the late nineteenth century, thirty thousand Mormons from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland immigrated to Utah, dissatisfied with conditions in their homelands. As their countrymen were farming rich fields in other parts of the United States, Scandinavian Mormons were making their way to Salt Lake City. Homeward to Zion tracks this movement from northern Europe to the western desert, examining the Mormon recruiting efforts in Scandinavia as well as the arduous journey across the Great Plains. Mulder draws extensively from personal narratives of these immigrants to relate their pioneering experience and their role in the history of Scandinavian migration and of the settlement of the American West. 19th century 2660816636745 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 266 Mul h E99033816 Non Fiction 266 Mul h Homeward_To_Zion.jpg 19970 2001-04-20 00:00:00 2026-03-31 17:38:15 machine generated
