They were focal points for social cooperation, integral to the building and cohesion of communities, and ubiquitous on the American landscape. This is the story of Norwegian migrants, mostly from Hardanger, Norway, who built a church- and school-centered community in western Wisconsin, beginning in the late 1850s. The schoolhouses in the valley were venues for assorted entertainments and activities such as basket socials, debates, song fests, homemakers' meetings, community picnics, and 4-H club activities. The story is shared at an intimate level, incorporating recollections and reflections from former teachers and students. The story also ties into the larger contexts of Wisconsin and U.S. history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Marie Legreid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798369465738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xlibris Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Ann Marie Legreid","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852781793535,"sku":"9798369465738","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/that-strong-strong-sense-of-ann-marie-legreid-9798369465738","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
