SOME RECENT PUBLICATIONS RELATING TO NORWEGIAN-AMERICAN HISTORY: III

Abstract

SOME RECENT PUBLICATIONS RELATING TO NORWEGIAN-AMERICAN HISTORY III Compiled by Jacob Hodnefield The publications listed below are approximately current, continuing the second list issued in Studies and Records, volume 6, and including the early part of the year 1932. The same policy in regard to the listing of publications has been followed as in previous lists. A new feature has been added at the close by supplementing the list proper with a few paragraphs of comment on items that do not lend themselves readily to separate entry. Criticism and suggestions are again invited, and members are requested to send copies of any publications in this field to the managing editor or to the archives of the Association at Northfield, Minnesota. ^ ^ Aasgaard, J.
