My Great Uncle, Tor Olaf Gustav Kolberg (Billy), wrote a memoir covering his childhood in Norway, the trip to America, and growing up in Red Wing. It covers the years 1875 through to about 1909, but includes bits from some later times too. It’s a bit of a ramble that can give a present reader some insights.
I thought it had been lost – but now it’s found. I scanned it, ran it through an OCR and then made it into a PDF. Not a huge book, 25,000 words. I’m attaching the PDF so feel free to grab a copy to read when the mood may strike you.
