Excerpt from A History of the Swedish-Americans of Minnesota, Vol. 2: A Concise Record of the Struggles and Achievements of the Early Settlers, Together With a Narrative of What Is Now Being Done by the Swedish-Americans of Minnesota in the Development of Their Adopted Country Lutheran Church, which congregation is the oldest and as to member ship the largest Swedish church in Minnesota; schoolhouse and a num ber of fine residences. During the Indian outbreak in 1862, and the uncertainty as to the probable attitude of the Chippewa Indians, the people of Chisago Lake built breastworks for protection, on the isthmus connecting Center City with the mainland, and planted cannon upon them for defense. Anders Swensson, the founder of Center City, came from Smaland to the shores of the lake in 1851, and made his home on the present site of the city. He was born in 1817, came to America in 1850, and remained a short time in New Orleans before coming to Minnesota. He was a farmer and married to Katarina Peterson in 1838. He died in July, 1887, leaving two sons and two daughters who are all living at the present writing and mentioned in the biographical sketch of John Swanson.
