This is a short but typical story about a young Danish couple leaving their homeland for good to settle down in the US. Peter and Anna Marie Christiansen came to live in Minnesota in a landscape that very much reminded them of Denmark. Peter Christiansen did well as a farmer and was especially known for the good quality of his butter
In 1896 John H. Bille wrote a little book published in Transactions of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters, Vol. XI. It had the title A History of the Danes in America. Even today, this is a fine source of information about the early Danish settlements in the US.
