SUMMARY:History Revealed: Italians on St. Paul's East Side
DESCRIPTION:Italians on Saint Paul’s East Side\nJohn Andreozzi\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, July 20\, 2023\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library & Roseville Library \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting\, register on Zoom here. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. For questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nItalians have had a significant presence in St. Paul.  Although there were only a few as the City began to grow in the 1850s\, within five decades their numbers had grown substantially. Many settled in Railroad Island and Swede Hollow on the East Side. They had been farmers in Italy\, but in St. Paul they worked on the railroads that surrounded their neighborhood\, as well as the city’s public works department\, while some were self- employed as peddlers or operators of confectionery and grocery stores. \n\nSt. Paul Italians founded institutions in Railroad Island that offered protection from bigotry and facilitated the assimilation process. The Dante Alighieri society formed in 1883\, was the first Italian group in the state. The Christ Child Center\, a Catholic settlement house which offered a variety of programs\, was located in a building erected by Italians. East Side Italians established Saint Ambrose church in 1915\, and they became known for their processions honoring patron saints. \nJohn Andreozzi was born in Lackawanna\, NY\, and has worked as a teacher\, clinical social worker\, community organizer\, and ethnic historian.  He has been studying Italian American history for more than fifty years\, and he holds Master’s Degrees in Sociology and Social Work. In 1985\, he moved to the Twin Cities to work at the Immigration History Research Center and Archives.\, and he became an organizer of Festa Italiana MN.  John has written two books and several scholarly articles on the experiences of Italians in the United States\, and he maintains a website at Italian-American-Experience.org. \nHis presentation is part of our series “Making Minnesota: Natives\, Settlers\, Migrants\, and Immigrants.” \nThe Ramsey County Historical Society\, in partnership with the East Side Freedom Library\, the Ramsey County Roseville Library and other community organizations\, will present a series of programs and events during 2022 that will center on the experiences of indigenous people\, African Americans\, and immigrants in Ramsey County from the 1800s through the current day. programs which focus on the too often lost\, erased\, forgotten or misrepresented histories and stories of Ramsey County and the state of Minnesota. We expect these presentations to enrich and complicate our understanding of the development of the county and the state that we call home.

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.
