Excerpt from Moorings Old and New: Entries in an Immigrant's Log In this part of his memoir he weaves folklore and legend into the forces of change, including the Norwegian renais sance, in such a way as to make unforgettable the courage, tragedy, realism, hazards, and combination of fearless and self-disciplined individuality with respect for law and team work. This is also sure to intrigue students of personality and culture. One reason why Moorings Old and New is so rich and successful in recreating the life of a small fishing-farming Norwegian community is that Professor Knaplund is gifted with an extraordinary memory it might be thought of as total recall and also because, as a keen and thoughtful historian, he has been able to give us insight into continuity and change, into the interrelations between economic, social, political, religious and other cultural forces and the impact of these on members of his family and of the Norwegian community in which he lived until he was twenty-one years old.
