6 The Highland Historical Society will host Kenneth Schoon Author and IUN professor Presenting his illustrated slide presentation Swedish Settlements of the South Shore of Lake Michigan Thursday, October 25, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. The Lincoln Center, Room Lincoln Street, Highland Immigrants from Sweden were the first non-english speaking people to move into the Indiana Dunes region and establish settlements. Their legacy can be seen today. This program and its accompanying book, note that these Swedes established more than a dozen local churches, most of which are still active today. They built homes out of logs, lumber, and bricks. Cleared and farmed the land. Worked for the railroads, the brick factories and established businesses, some of which are still in business today. Several of the early Swedes served in the Union army in the Civil War. Nearly all got American citizenship and some were even elected to political office. Because many of their last names were similar to common American names (such as Anderson and Carlson), they quickly assimilated into American culture. The fourth of July was widely celebrated, but so were Swedish traditions at Midsummer and the Christmas season. Today descendants of Swedes still learn Swedish songs and dances and celebrate the traditions of their forbears. Even non-swedes know about Vikings and may eat Swedish meatballs. Smörgåsbord has become an American word though to Swedes it has slightly different meaning. Swedes and their descendants have helped build the Calumet Area. Ken Schoon, the author, is not descended from Swedes, but he is married to the granddaughter of Swedish immigrants. His earlier works include Calumet Beginnings, Dreams of Duneland, and Shifting Sands, all published by Indiana University Press, and City Trees published by Stackpole Books. The program and book illustrate a colorful heritage. There will be a book signing at the end of the presentation. Swedish Settlements of the South Shore of Lake Michigan is newly released and contains more than 400 illustrations. It sells for $30.00 to anyone interested in purchasing. Please join us for an interesting and enjoyable evening with Ken Schoon. Refreshments will be served at the close of the evening.
