Abstract:

Research papers, 1990-2002 compiled by William Hodge consisting of his translations of Fritz William Rasmussen's diaries and notes he recorded on Rasmussen's financial accounts and manuscripts he documented on Scandinavian settlers of New Denmark, Wisconsin. Hodge completed research on Rasmussen to write a biography and translations of his diaries. While Hodge never published "Root Hog or Die: the Life of an Immigrant Farmer," the biography and diary translations about Rasmussen, he wrote several drafts (1987, 1999, 2000). Hodge's drafts consist of a brief biography focused primarily on Rasmussen's diaries followed by translations of the diary and including revisions suggested by editors.
