Welcome to NorwegianAmerican.com.
This is an ongoing effort sponsored by Ivitek Publishing, a division of Ivitek Corporation. I am Bill Injerd, the President of Ivitek Corporation, and am pleased to bring you topics of interest to you that relate to the rich history of Norwegians who chose to come and live in America.
I invite you to come along a journey with the first Norwegians who braved the rough Atlantic in a 54-foot long sloop from Norway to New York city. These pioneers are fondly known as the "Sloopers", arriving at America in October 1825.
You will also want to follow the travels of the "foot-loose" Cleng Peerson, considered by many of us Norskies as the "Norwegian Moses" in America.
If you have any suggestions and wish me to add other people, places, or topics -- send me an email. I'd love to hear from you!
