American Fever

The use of extensive quotes from family letters conveys a deep and personal sense of the hard work and dreams that many European immigrants brought with them when they settled the American West. As an archivist, I am pleased to see the effective use made of this collection of family papers. AMERICAN FEVER is a valuable contribution to the history of the Waterville, Washington area, and the history of Norwegian immigration to the United States. Charles V. Mutschler, Archivist and Historian
