Ramsey County History – Winter 1998: “Growing Up in St. Paul: From Amerika to America: Alma Crosses the Border”

Growing Up in St. Paul: From Amerika to America: Alma Crosses the Border

Author: John W. Larson

This memoir of the author’s grandmother illuminates the lives of Swedish immigrants, life on the East Side (Oak Park and Hazel Park), Ames School, the Harvester Works, People’s Church, the Swedish Lutheran Church, and the author’s janitor grandfather, Martin. Like everything written by Mr. Larson, it is witty and engaging.
