Anderson then goes on to describe the various factors that led Norwegians to seek a new life in America, including the promise of cheap land, greater economic opportunities, and religious freedom.Throughout the book, Anderson draws on a wide range of historical sources to provide a detailed account of the experiences of Norwegian immigrants during this period.
