Cousin-hunting in Scandinavia

An American traveler of Scandinavian descent records journeys through Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, offering close-up sketches of cities, islands, rural districts, and fjords. The narrative blends practical travel notes with vivid descriptions of architecture, landscapes, local customs, festivals, and notable historical sites, and presents portraits of local people through everyday anecdotes. Organized as successive itineraries—from Copenhagen and Bornholm across Sweden to Dalecarlia and the Norwegian coast—the account seeks to establish cultural kinship between the visitor and those encountered and is accompanied by period illustrations.
