The story

In 1850, Karl Oskar Nilsson, his wife, Kristina, and their three children, along with Karl Oskar's younger brother Robert and Robert's friend Arvid, arrive in what is now known as the Chisago Lakes area in Minnesota after enduring an arduous sea and overland trip from Sweden. The family initially shelters in a shanty while Karl Oskar builds a permanent house. He begins clearing the land of the pine trees, and, with the help from Robert, Arvid, and their Swedish neighbors, completes a small farmhouse before winter.
