The Pladsons of Newburgh Township is not just about Knudt, Halvor, and Osten Pladson and their families. It is a comprehensive collection of stories, photos, and family trees for all of the families connected to the Pladsons by marriage.
This beautiful 544-page, full-color book includes over 950 photographs, maps, and other graphics from family and private collections to tell the generational stories of these courageous Norwegian immigrants; learn about their families, homes, farms, schools, churches, and early pioneer life on the plains of the Dakota Territory.
Osten Pladson was a very unique person. He was a farmer, carpenter, and builder of exquisite church altars; two of his altars are in major Norwegian-American museums. Osten Pladson is the great-grandfather of the authors.
What people are saying about the book
“The Pladsons of Newburgh Township is more than a family history; it is a rich collection of stories of immigrant families, rural life, and growing prairie communities. Remarkable photographs bring these stories to life.”
