A portrait of the Finnish immigrant experience in Minnesota during
the early twentieth century-now in paperback After journeying
across the Atlantic with his mother and two sisters, young Otto
Peltonen joins his father in the iron ore mines of northern
Minnesota, experiencing the harsh labor conditions that were common
at the time, as mining companies cared more about making a profit
than for their workers' safety. Writing in his journal about his
family's struggles and the hard life Finnish immigrants endured in
the early twentieth century, Otto ultimately strengthens his
resolve to find the freedom his family had first sought in America.
