SUMMARY:History Revealed: Scandinavian Immigrants & the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:For Gud Og Vort Land:\nScandinavian Immigrants & the Civil War\nSaturday\, July 22\, 9:00 am-1:00 pm\nNorway House\n913 E Franklin Ave\, Minneapolis\, MN 55404 \nJoin us for a very special History Revealed as we explore the contributions of Scandinavian immigrants from Minnesota and Wisconsin during the Civil War. The motto of the Fifteenth Wisconsin Regiment\, “For Gud Og Vort Land\,” (For God and Our Country)\, serves as the thread for this day of programming. Beginning with a tour of the Pioneer & Soldiers Cemetery led by Susan Hunter\, the the day continues with the story of the Fifteenth Wisconsin\, known as the “Norwegian Regiment.” The life and contributions of Colonel Hans Christian Heg and other Scandinavian soldiers from Minnesota and Wisconsin will be told by Odd Lovoll\, author of Colonel Hans Christian Heg and the Norwegian American Experience. \nSchedule\n9:00-10:00 am \n\nTour the Pioneer & Soldiers Cemetery with Susan Hunter\nPark at the Cemetery\, 2945 Cedar Ave\, Minneapolis\, MN 55407\nCost for the tour is $5.00\nPre-registration is preferred\nTickets are available at the Norway House website\n\n11:00 am-1:00 pm \n\nColonel Hans Christian Heg and the Norwegian American Experience with Odd Lovoll\nBook signing and discussion\nProgram will take place at Norway House\nFree and open to the public\, no registration required\nThe book will be available for purchase\nSee the Norway House website for more\n\nSusan Hunter is the founding member of the Friends of the Pioneer & Soldiers Cemetery. She is a historian and author of many articles about the cemetery. \nColonel Hans Christian Heg and the Norwegian American Experience is the first full-length biography of Colonel Heg examines the life of a Civil War hero while illuminating the experiences of Norwegian American immigrants who found both hardship and success in a new home. \nHans Christian Heg (1829–1863) was a Norwegian American abolitionist\, journalist\, antislavery activist\, prison reformer\, politician\, and soldier. Best known for leading the Fifteenth Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment on the Union side during the Civil War\, Heg died of wounds received at the Battle of Chickamauga in September 1863. \nWhile Heg’s achievements earned him a statue on the Wisconsin state capitol grounds\, behind his public persona was a life emblematic of his generation. Heg’s family hailed from Lier\, Norway; economic as well as religious challenges led them\, like so many others\, to leave their homeland for the promise of a better life. Heg himself trod multiple paths: joining in the California Gold Rush\, pursuing a political career in support of the Free Soil Party and then the newly formed Republican Party\, and taking up the role of Wisconsin state prison commissioner. Like his fellow immigrants\, he made a living and nurtured a family at the same time that he was defining what it meant to be both Norwegian and American. \nHeg’s remarkable leadership of the Fifteenth Wisconsin\, the “Norwegian regiment\,” is the stuff of legends. But this book is more than a biography of one man: it is the story of a generation of immigrant citizens who contributed politically\, economically\, and socially to the American Midwest and beyond. \nOdd S. Lovoll is the author of several books on the Norwegian American immigrant experience\, including Norwegians on the Prairie\, Norwegian Newspapers in America\, and Across the Deep Blue Sea. He was born in Sande\, in Møre og Romsdal\, Norway\, and immigrated to the United States in 1946. Lovoll was educated at the University of Bergen and the University of Oslo before receiving an M.A. from the University of North Dakota and a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. He taught for three years at Minnesota and then spent 30 years as a professor of history at St. Olaf College in Northfield\, Minnesota\, where he is professor emeritus. Lovoll also served for 20 years as publication editor for the Norwegian-American Historical Association. In 1986\, Lovoll was decorated with the Knight’s Cross First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit by King Olav V of Norway\, and in 2001 he was inducted into the Scandinavian Hall of Fame at Norsk Høstfest\, North America’s largest Scandinavian festival. He lives in Northfield\, Minnesota.

Link to online reservation form. \nJoin RCHS for our presentation series\, History Revealed\, featuring the best local historians\, authors and archeologists talking about a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nThe Twin Cities have long boasted beautiful parks\, waterfronts\, and trail systems – in no small part because of the New Deal. Workers employed through New Deal programs in the 1930s changed the shape of St. Paul & Minneapolis’ parks and trails. From stone walls to playgrounds and park shelters to beaches\, the New Deal’s imprint on our public landscape is indelible. \nOur tour will begin at East Side Freedom Library for a discussion about New Deal projects in Minnesota. Learn why parks\, trails\, and recreation were priorities for the New Deal. We’ll dig into questions of who was allowed to take part in this work\, and who was left behind. \nThen we’ll hop on a bus to explore two parks that showcase (in subtle and sometimes hidden ways) handiwork of New Deal era workers: Indian Mounds Regional Park and Phalen Regional Park. \nFinally\, learn how you can get involved in in finding and documenting New Deal projects. \nSpeaker & guide Natalie Heneghan is the Minnesota Associate for the Living New Deal\, a project to map New Deal sites all over the country. \nRCHS would like to thank the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota for their co-sponsorship of this event. \nFeatured image: A monument at Phalen Park to those CCC’ers who lost their lives on duty.
