"A tribute to the unconquerability of the human spirit. This isn't
a novel about pioneering; it is pioneering." New York Times Book
Review "The portrait of Minnesota is authentic . . . and it brings
home to you sharply once again that in this span of a lifetime the
face of the past, the face that so many preceding generations would
have recognized, has disappeared for good." New York Herald Tribune
Book Review "Impressive not merely for its epical scope but for its
deep understanding of the psychology of the immigrants." Saturday
Review "The author himself might have been one of the emigrants,
living every moment with them, suffering with them, but recording .
. . what all-seeing eyes might have seen." Chicago Tribune "Solid,
leisurely, and very readable." New Yorker "An earthy story, frank
in detail, but highly recommended." Library Journal "An 'epic' told
with a restraint and sincerity that command respect. . . . A work
of rare distinction and one warmly to be recommended." Catholic
World "It's important to have Moberg's Emigrant Novels available
for another generation of readers." Bruce Karstadt, American
Swedish Institute
