Content Description
The collection consists of materials associated with the Paulson family of Stanley/Haakon County dating form the 1890s to 1950s. Nels and Marin Paulson traveled from Denmark to the United States in 1900.

Also included are thirteen issues of “Den Danske Pioneer’s” “The Danish Pioneer’s” an publication out of Omaha (NE) which features news, various stories and poems (in Danish) for Danish pioneers settling in the Midwest and Great Plains.
