| Abstract | They came because the land was free, conditions were bad in the old country, land and railroad agents enticed them with mouth-watering propaganda, and friends and relatives who had already come to Dakota encouraged them to do likewise. Welcomed into the two-room shanties of the families who had arrived earlier, the newcomers located land and constructed temporary housing. Nothing was easy. At every turn, they were pulled between the old country and the new. English was the bridge to the new world, but their native language carried the memory of who they were. |
