DEDICATION

 

This translation project is dedicated to those Texas Swedish Pioneers who took the long and dangerous journey to settle in a new place called Texas, where they built churches, homes, businesses and farms. This project is further dedicated to those Texas Swedish Pioneers who had the vision in 1918 to preserve the history of our Swedish ancestors so that future generations may learn of their past.

New Sweden 88 was a celebration in 1988 of 350 years of Swedes in America and 150 years of Swedes in Texas.

The celebration began in October 1987 with the signing of a State of Texas proclamation by Texas Governor William P. Clements. Representatives from New Sweden 88 Committees in Austin, Dallas and Houston attended the signing ceremony in the governor’s reception room.

Numerous events were held beginning in December 1987 witha Santa Lucia Festival at Hutto Lutheran Church and Julotta, the traditional Swedish Christmas morning service, at the New Sweden Lutheran Church.

Hundreds attended a Swedish smorgasbord held at the Balcones Country Club in Austin in January 1988 with guest speaker United States Congressman Charles Stenholm of Texas. Special guests included former Austin Mayor Lester Palmer, University of Texas baseball coach Cliff Gustafson, and Caren Patman, former Democratic Committee woman from Texas. All are descendents of  Texas Swedish Pioneers.  Our Swedish musical heritage was highlighted in April 1988 in a Swedish Musik Fest held at Perkins Chapel on the campus of Southwestern University in Georgetown.  Numerous talented musicians along with the large Jubilee 150 Choir assembled from area churches of Swedish heritage performed before a crowd of over 700 people.

A highlight of the Jubilee year was the visit in April to Dallas and Houston by Swedish King Carl Gustaf and his wife Silva as part of a Royal Cities tour in honor of New Sweden 88. A national traveling Swedish Heritage exhibit sponsored by the Swedish Council of America opened in May in the State Capitol rotunda in Austin,

The annual Midsummer Day celebrations were held in Elgin and Palm Valley in June. The jubilee year closed with a Hog Massa program at Decker Methodist Church in September and a Grand Finale program on New Year’s Eve at Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Austin.

These programs were not possible without a host of volunteers. The following individuals were members of the New Sweden 88 Austin Area Committee and deserve a special thanks.

Translation

 

The original preface to the book Swedes of Texas In Words and Pictures first published in 1918 states “it would have been more logical to publish this work in the English language, but it was considered unfair to the many forefathers who are still alive and who better understand the gamla mordersmal (the old mother tongue).” For many generations following its publication this book, Swedes in Texas in Words and Pictures, was simply only pictures because the words were not understood. 

 

This book, however, preserves an important part of Texas Swedish history.  Even though it included only a fraction of the some 7,000 Swedes who settled in Texas and although many Swedish families are not included in this book, we can all learn from the experiences told here and better understand what all our people experienced in this new land called Texas. 

 

In this text we read the stories of eighteen and nineteen year old young men and women caught up in “America fever” who said goodbye to a mother or a father that they probably would never see again. We read the stories of whole families who sold everything and left their homeland, never to return again and go to a place they had never seen.

This massive effort to translate this book took almost five years and involved scores of volunteers who help translate and review the text. The final product is far from perfect, and yes, you will discover mistakes, but the original text had many mistakes and in some parts were not well written. Sometimes the Swedish words in the text were no longer used, and we had to seek the help of a 1920 Swedish -English dictionary. But one thing can be said regarding this effort -no one can at least fault us for trying to translate this book and preserve its history for future generations. That is our legacy.

 

 The idea for translating this text begin during New Sweden 88, the celebration in 1988 of 350 years of Swedes in America and 150 years of Swedes in Texas.  The New Sweden 88 Committee of the Austin Area asked Marilyn Samuelson of Elgin to contact numerous people in various old Swedish communities in Texas to see if they would help translate the text. Many supplied translations which were later used in reviewing the text.

 

With money raised during New Sweden 88 and with a grant for the Austin Heritage Society, the New Sweden 88 Committee of the Austin Area decided to have Christine Andreason of Round Rock, a native born Swede, to translate the text. Her husband Dennis Andreason would type the text.


After the translation was completed many volunteers coordinated by Jim Christianson of Austin reviewed the text. One particular volunteer deserves special mention. Her name is Jean Sellstrom of Austin who volunteered many hours in reviewing the translation and translated many sections in the original effort.

 

After the project was completed Bert Magnuson, the President of the Texas Swedish Pioneers Association, coordinated the effort to sell the book to those who were interested. At 85 years of age Bert had the enthusiasm of someone a quarter of his age. Bert died shortly after this text went to the publisher. For any project that promoted our Texas Swedish heritage, Bert was always there to volunteer his time and support the effort.

 

We must also give special thanks to Carvin Youngbloom and the Hutto State Bank who faithfully kept the financial records of the New Sweden 88 Committee of the Austin Area and the moneys raised in this translation project. In addition we would like to thank Cheryl Rae of Austin who with the help of the computer made all the revisions for this text. 

Finally we cannot forget our many volunteers who participated in some way in this translation project, as translators, reviewers, or sellers of books. We say thanks to all of the following people.

PREFACE

 

“The Swedes in Texas”, which is hereby presented “in words and pictures”, is not a romanticized story of just a few or many, more or less famous personalities, or some scientific report about the Swedes’ economic, social and religious standing in this state, but simply a collection of facts and statistical information as well as true to life pictures and illustrations covering a timespan of over three quarters of a century of the Swedes’ common history in Texas, collected with quite some effort and printed so these facts would not be forgotten in the future.

Our Nordic forefathers took measures to preserve the memory of their dead for both their contemporaries and descendents with rock-carvings and rune-stones, which are now highly valued and appreciated, a thousand years after they were drawn. The value of this historical and biographical information shall be better understood as time goes on, when those, who with tenacity and determination in living actions, wrote the first chapters in the “History of the Swedes in Texas”, have passed on and joined their forefathers.

To better meet the linguistic needs of the younger generations, it would have been more logical to publish this work in the English language, but it was considered unfair to the many forefathers who are still alive and who better understand the old mothertongue than the language of our new country. When the need arises in the future for a continuation of the history of the Swedes in Texas, it should be published in the language of this country to be of greater use to the public.  The publisher has devoted three full years to collect the statistical information and material for this historical-biographical work. From Stamford in Northern Texas to Galveston in the South, no Swedish home has intentionally been bypassed. The completeness of this work has been made possible only through the support of the pastors and leading men of the different Swedish congregations. The publisher expresses his gratitude to these individuals, to the tireless staff, to the printing firm E. L. Steck, which has done the printing with such merit, and to the Swedish public, without whose help it would have been impossible to publish such thick volumes of “The Swedes in Texas in Words and Pictures”.

 

Sincerely,

 

The Publisher
