The best books I read in 2012...

The Abercrombie Trail Series by Candace Simar

There are four books in this wonderful series, and I honestly couldn't put the books down. Simar, a life-long Minnesotan and grandchild of immigrants, has combined her love of history with her Scandinavian heritage, and has done impeccable research. This evident in these new award-winning books of historical fiction in which Simar tells the story of Scandinavian immigrants in early Minnesota during the 1862 Sioux Uprising.

Homesteaders Series: Four books about a Norwegian Immigrant Family by Esther Allen Peterson

The four books in this series gave me yet another fix for my Norwegian Immigration appetite. These delightful books, are perfect for those interested in light reading about immigrants and early Minnesota. Peterson, another Minnesota-based author, writes about the Ytterhorn/Olson families and their adventures and trials as they leave their homes in Norway, make the voyage to America, and settle in Dakota Territory.
