- In the first article, When America was the land of Canaan, George Stephenson tells what motivated Swedish immigrants to come to America in the latter half of the 19th century. In the second article, Some footnotes to the history of Swedish immigration from about 1855 to about 1865, he describes how people who remained in Sweden, family, friends, officials of government and the church, responded personally and institutionally to the wave of emigration. The third article, Pilgrim and stranger, is autobiographical.
