No ethnic group is so identified with a single state as the Swedes are with Minnesota. From before statehood, Swedish immigrants flooded into the small frontier towns of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Encouraged by agents who promised inexpensive and fertile farmland, they came by the thousands. By the turn of the twentieth century, over 126,000 Swedes lived in Minnesota--d their impact on everything in the state continues to today. In this concise history of Swedes in Minnesota, the newest addition to The People of Minnesota series, Anne Gillespie Lewis tells the rich history of this ethnic group in the state they would make their own. Swedes in Minnesota recounts the story of the great Swedish migration through numbers-- the census reports and settlement patterns. It also tells the story through the cultural institutions Swedes founded--e churches, schools, and lodges, the Swedish-language newspapers and businesses, the neighborhoods and the associations. But mostly this book tells the story through the people: the anecdotes, letters, and interviews from the immigrants themselves and from their grandchildren. For the many Minnesotans of Swedish ancestry, Lewis provides a remarkably concise portrait of an ethnic group striving to become American while struggling to maintain its ties to tradition.

Lovely earrings
Color: Silver, Size: 20-30-40mm
These earrings are thicker than what I wanted but they are so lovely and packaged so nicely that I am not going to return them. I will gift them to someone instead.

Very comfortable and light weight
Color: Gold, Size: 30-40-50mm
For what I would spend for one pair, I got three. Not knowing what size I wanted, I chose the three pack and I am glad that I did. I generally only wear stud earrings because of the weight and I don't like things dangling and touching me. So far, I have only used the smallest pair and like them. They are big for me but for most people probably wouldn't feel all that large. I am not certain that I will use the medium or large pairs but maybe some day I will feel dangerous. If you aren't sure what size you will feel comfortable with, I would suggest this package and try them all to see what your style might be. They are a good value and are light weight.

Earrings tarnished.
Color: Silver, Size: 20-30-40mm
Very pretty. until I used jewelry cleaner to remove the tarnish. Says they are tarnish resistant. Not True. Had to throw away one pair that turned black. Very unhappy about that, because I really liked the earrings.
