Abstract:
Relates the story of Norwegian pioneers who make the long trek from a fishing village in Norway through Canada to Spring Creek, in Dakota Territory in the latter part of the 19th century. For Per Hansa's wife Beret, the difficulties become unbearable. This "saga of the prairie" deals with timeless themes of immigration, fear and loneliness, myth, and religion.
