Today I came across a Google Book,
"THE SWEDISH ELEMENT IN ILLINOIS"
SURVEY OF THE PAST SEVEN DECADES
BY ERNST W. OLSON
Printed in Chicago in 1917 by the Swedish-American Biographical Association, I found it to be very informative. The book in its entirety can be found HERE. I was very interested in the biography of Dr. L. G. Abrahamson, the cousin of my great grandfather. He came to America as a young boy and ultimately became very influential among the Swedish immigrants of Illinois. His story is found on page 628. Click or download to your computer so you may enlarge for easier viewing.
