Remedies and Rituals
by Kathleen Stokker · March 1, 2007
Combing hundreds of original documents and first-hand accounts, the author has created a reference to healing techniques used by rural Norwegians for centuries. Besides older historical data, this book offers a chapter that features home remedies remembered by midwestern Norwegian Americans in the 20th century.
