Readers will be reminded of the pioneer sagas of Ager's countryman, Ole E. Rolvaag. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese early immigrants are a vigorous, likable, hard-working lot. In summer they work in the sawmills; in winter, the logging camps. They brawl, make love, read the Scriptures, tell yarns, and struggle always to form a community. They came to America for highly individual reasons, and their integration into a new society is hastened by the Civil War. The \"sons\" fight on the Union side; some are imprisoned at Andersonville.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaldemar Ager (1869-1941) edited a Norwegian newspaper in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, near the locale of his novel. \u003ci\u003eSons of the Old Country\u003c\/i\u003e was translated by his son, Trygve M.
