The book explores the migration of Swedish men and women to the American Rockies before the twentieth century, highlighting their roles as itinerant laborers and settlers in burgeoning industries and farm communities. It reveals how this movement significantly shaped the demographic landscape, with one-fifth of all Swedish immigrants residing in the West by 1920. Through personal narratives and historical context, it sheds light on the challenges and contributions of these immigrants in their new homeland.
