The bulk of the collection consists of letters written in Norway, Washington, and Door and Oconto counties, Wisconsin, by and to members of the Toftezon family, and deal with church, crops, health, and weather. A collection of clippings (1931- 1939) tells of the Toftezen family and of the dedication of the monument. 1377. TOLLEFSON, ANDREW (b. ca. 1866). CORRESPONDENCE, 1881-1906. 80 items in 1 folder. P 458. Correspondence of a Norwegian-born teacher and sheep rancher written mostly from Montana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, dealing with health, rural schools, politics, and economic conditions on farm and ranch. There are letters concerning St. Olaf College, Augsburg College, Concordia College, Augustana Academy, and Scandinavia Academy. Tollefson was a student at St. Olaf College (1890-1893). 1378. TOLLEFSON, THOR C. (b. 1901). ARTICLE, 1953. 1 item, 7-page typescript. P 387. “Norsk bidrag til amerikansk liv,” a translation by Gus O. Solum, Seattle, Washington, of an address appearing in the Congressional Record (May 15, 1953). Discusses the history, growth, and contribution of Norwegians to American culture. Tollefson was a congressman from Tacoma. 1379. TOLLEFSRUDE, CHRISTIAN H. (1845-1933). HISTORY. 2 items. P 1424. A scrapbook covering the history of the Norwegians in Rock County, Wisconsin, by the son of H. C. Tollefsrude, a pioneer in the Rock Prairie area. Christian Tollefsrude attended Beloit College for three years, then went to a homestead in Pocahantas County, Iowa, where he farmed, taught school, held county offices, and was a banker in Rolfe, Iowa. The scrapbook is based on a 1917 typescript history of which Peder Olson Langseth was the principal author. Tollefsrude is credited with at least four of the sections. The original typescript has here seen many additions and corrections, and hundreds of clippings have been inserted, some pasted in and others loose. The total pagination is 792, compared with 377 in the original typescript. Another copy of the history, with manuscript corrections and additions, is in the Langseth collection (P 1249); the two copies should be used together, because each contains material not found in the other. The collection also includes clippings, correspondence, articles, and other materials related to the Tollefsrude family and to Rock County, Wisconsin. 1380. TOLLEFSRUDE, HANS CHRISTOFFERSON (1822-1903). DIARY, 1851-1856. 2 items. P 1154. A handwritten diary (Dagbog) and a translation by Ester Hustvedt. The account tells about a journey to California from Rock County, Wisconsin, via New York and Panama, and gives detailed information about digging for gold in California, about 227
life and general conditions there as well as the author’s final disillusionment in his search for quick riches. Tollefsrude emigrated from Torpen, Nordre Land, in 1844 and was one of the early settlers in Rock County. Christian H. Tollefsrude, cited in the preceding description, is a son. 1381.
