Book Reviews of Settlers: The Emigrant Novels Book 3 (The Emigrant Novels, Book 3)
Book Review: Fiction that's also history
Summary: 4 Stars
The second of Vilhelm Moberg's Swedish emigration novels places his characters in Chisago Lake (Ki-chi-saga) in Minnesota Territory and details how they succeed and fail in wresting a farm from virgin forest. While Carl Nilsson and his wife are fictional, their situation, motives and actions, and the land they settled, are very well researched and delineated, and the translation is good, right down to the anglicization of Swedish expressions. Begin with The Emigrants before starting this, then go on to Onto a Good Land and the Last Letter Home. (The film of The Emigrants is good too, if you can find it.)
