The Changing West, and Other Essays (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Changing West, and Other Essays

I trust that Professor Larson will permit me to add that his friends and associates desired to bring out this book in honor of his election to the vice presidency, and his forth coming elevation to the presidency, of the American His torical Association. When, about a year and a half ago, I ventured to suggest to him the idea of bringing together in book form some of his essays, I was well aware of the fact that his previously published works were mainly in the field of English and early Norse history, but I also knew of his deep interest in the story of the Norwegians in America, and I expressed the hope that he would focus his attention Upon that subject. He took kindly to the suggestion and the result is the present volume. The norwegian-american Historical Association feels honored in being permitted to sponsor the book, and in doing so it offers its congratula tions to Professor Larson not only upon the high distinction that has come to'him at the hands of the national historical organization but also upon the many and important con tributions that he has made to American historiography.
