Hope, Misery and Achievement
The more we know about immigrants who venture to the US, the more we understand our country. Giants In The Earth is about a group of tough and courageous Norwegian immigrants who create a settlement from nothing, except the soil and manpower. Each major character represents the various physical and psychological features of the Norwegian immigrant; fear, cleverness, stubbornness, strength, and much more. This is an engaging story that is very well written.
