Description

Book "The Story of Two Families And Their Times: The Chilstroms, The Nelsons" by Herbert W. Chilstrom, 2005. Published by Gustavus Adolphus College Printing Service. St. Peter/MN/USA 

Inscribed by the donor, “Though it traces our roots back to the early 1600s in Sweden, the major focus is on my great-grandparents and grandparents who came to America in the 1850s. Both families of my great-grandparents fled the Sioux Uprising north of Willmar, MN, and settled in Goodhue County in 1862. They lived on adjacent farms just a few miles east of Cannon Falls.”

Chilstrom (Kjollerstrom) family, Nelson (Nilsson) family.
