The Jamestown American Scandinavian Heritage Foundation recently donated the two-volume reference work, Swedish Contributions to American Freedom, 1176-1783, to the Jamestown Community College Hultquist Library.
Written by noted Swedish-American historian Amandus Johnson, the second volume was sponsored in part by Jamestown resident Earl O. Hultquist (1891-1963), whose legacy lives on through the Jamestown Campus library that bears his family name.
Until this donation, the closest available copies were at Cornell University in Ithaca and Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, making this a valuable addition for students, faculty, and community.
