Norwegian Traits - as seen 1876
BorgeThis is a transcript of an article printed in Scribners Magazine 130 years ago. It is quite interesting reading, hmmm...., I wonder what has changed. I thought this article would be nice reading for Christmas. Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year to you all!

BorgeI don't know if any of you enjoyed the Norwegian Traits article, but I am adding a new article to go with it, for those with an interest in what life could be like in Norway more then 100 years ago: [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/articles/anmviewer.asp?a=122&z=21"]NORWEGIAN RURAL CUSTOMS AND COSTUMES[/url] written by Thomas B. Willson, M. A. ca. 1900. [:D]
Jo Anne SadlerWell, I for one sure enjoy these articles.[:p] Especially the fact that were written at the time. Where do you find these?
BorgeGlad you enjoyed them. I get stuff like that from old magazines and newspapers that I buy from antique dealers and on auctions.
