The Swedes

 

These men are Swedish immigrants that settled in Divide County, North Dakota, in the early 1900’s. One of the men, Karl, married a Norwegian immigrant, my cousin Aagot. These men worked, worshiped and socialized with my Tangsrud grandparents, and helped make a difficult life on the North Dakota prairies more bearable. And they had awesome coats.

  1. They truly did have awesome coats. I don't want to know what animal they came from.
