{"product_id":"norwegian-seattle-kristine-leander-9780738559605","title":"Norwegian Seattle","description":"The Norwegians who immigrated to Seattle were a sturdy stock. Perhaps it was due to their ancient history as determined Viking seafarers--or their more recent experiences as tenacious fishermen, farmers, loggers, and carpenters. From the first Norwegians to arrive in 1868 through today, Seattle's Norwegian American community has maintained a remarkable cohesiveness. They participate in Sons and Daughters of Norway and other clubs; enjoy lutefisk dinners, lively music and dance groups, and the annual May 17 parade; boast elaborately knitted sweaters and historic costumes; and labor over language classes and genealogy. The result is a pride of heritage unique to the Norwegian Americans in Seattle and a sinew that binds their community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristine Leander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738559601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738559605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Kristine Leander","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947044241663,"sku":"9780738559605","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ec87b924-c3d8-41c6-98b1-c9ba5e0c6da0.jpg?v=1681516378","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/norwegian-seattle-kristine-leander-9780738559605","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
