MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

An American-Scandinavian bibliography for 1950 appeared in Scandinavian Studies, 23:73-96 (May, 1951).
Two genealogical charts, Slekten Hoist, by D. Krohn Holm, and Slekten Randers i Norge, both published in Oslo, 1948, have been received by the Minnesota Historical Society.A special issue of Nordisk tidende, of Brooklyn, New York, for May 10, 1951, with the heading, "60 år, 1891-1951," reviewed the paper's history for the past sixty years. There were many articles in the field of Norwegian-American history, including the Norwegian settlement in Brooklyn, the press, religion, research and education, shipping, fishing, sport, Norwegian engineers in the United States, and other subjects. See earlier item under Rygg.
Recent books of fiction dealing with Norwegian-American subjects include: Door of the North, a Saga of Fourteenth Century America, by Elizabeth Coatsworth (Philadelphia, 1950); Barna fra Wisconsin, by George Victor Martin, translated by Randi Brun Mannsåker (Oslo, 1947); Challenge, a Saga of the North west, by Olga Overn (St. Louis, 1949); Gopher Tails for Papa, by Erling Nicolai Rolfsrud (Minneapolis, 1951).
The scene of Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki lies outside the United States; but plans were made at the Explorers Club on West Twenty-second Street, American money helped float the balsa logs, and the expedition wound up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
