In 1908, Nels Nelsen earned his journeyman carpenterÕs certificate in central Denmark. For four years he traveled throughout Denmark by bicycle and train, working and writing of his adventures and observations of life in Denmark. Then he embarked on an even bigger adventure, crossing the Atlantic to begin a new life in America. In America he encountered new customs and places, but continued traveling as he worked, describing his time in the Midwest, as well as a winter spent in Florida. This story, in his own words, covers those years in Denmark and his first years in America as he joined the Union, learned English, found a wife, and started a family, becoming an American citizen and never returning to his homeland. His insights and descriptions, as well as the additional material discussing the places he visited and the events he witnessed, paint a vivid picture of early 20th century life both in the U.S. and in Denmark and tell the story of the immigrant experience through the eyes of someone who lived it.

Perfect compact wallet
Size: One Size, Color: Black
I bought my wife a small Michael Kors purse that needed a small wallet. This matched perfectly and was just the right size to fit in the purse. My wife was very happy. Not a bad price either. Very compact.

“Gorgeous Color and Great Fit”
Size: 9, Color: Atlantic Blue
I absolutely love these Sam Edelman Bay sandals in Atlantic-/Tide-blue. The 9 M fit me perfectly — true to size and very comfortable right out of the box. The leather is soft but sturdy, and the slide design makes it super easy to throw on for errands, brunch, or just relaxing around town. The footbed has enough cushioning that my feet don’t feel tired after a few hours. Overall, great quality and style, and they look more expensive than they really are.
