Summary:	"The idea of personal progress and freedom in the United States continued to have a strong impact on Norwegians for the remainder of the nineteenth century. Knowledge about these freedoms was spread through America letters, handbooks, and returned migrants, and this knowledge often was a decisive factor behind the decision to emigrate...Dimensions of freedom are interconnected in this fifteenth volume of Norwegian-American Essays 2017. Its title, Freedom and migration in a Norwegian-American context, is identical to the theme of the conference of the Norwegian-American Historical Association -- Norway which was held at Fagernes, Norway, June 18-21, 2014. The theme reflects the signing of the Norwegian constitution in 1814. Norwegian-American essays 2017 reveals various approaches to the concept of freedom. In addition, all essays share a thematical connection in that they are transnational in content. To a large extent the essays are also comparative as they take into account conditions both in the sending society and the receiving society, which helps to contextualize the theme."--Editor's note.
