The number of persons of Norwegian birth and blood in the United States is larger in proportion to the population of the mother country than that of any other racial group in the United States. excepting the Irish. I doubt that any other racial group. numbers considered. has had effects as beneficial to the development of the Middle West and the far West as have the NorwegianAmericans. Shortly after the settlement in La Salle County. these immigrants erected a log church building. That was significant of the history to be made by the NorwegianAmericans wherever they were to settle. They always built churches and schoolhouses.
