Industrial expansion in New England gave impetus to large-scale Swedish immigration by the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Swedish American communities were established in many areas, including Worcester County in Massachusetts and adjacent northern Windham County in Connecticut. Swedes of Greater Worcester Revisited, a companion to Swedes of Greater Worcester (2002), expands upon the story of the region?s Swedish American population. Vintage images capture the immigration experience, family and organizational life, and religious aspects of the community.

Imagine showing this book to my 91 yr old Mother,as she pointed out her grandfather's store on Greenwood Street, and recognized many names and faces from our past, as I grew up there also. It is a lovely collection of photographs and area history. The house where my Mother was born, and the school we attended,as well as our church are all shown here. I am very happy to have this lovely book. Thank you, Nancy Nelson McKee,daughter of Ruth Forsberg Nelson and David W. Nelson, great-grand daughter of Wilhelm Forsberg.
