Walther Herman Lysne, D.C., was born in 1897 and died in 1983 at age 86. He was a chiropractor, artist and author of the first version of this manuscript. He collected these stories from his grandparents and his aunts, uncles and father. In addition he created many paintings, sculptures, and wood carvings. This book was a focus of his creative work for more than twenty years. The stories are true with a narrative non-fiction focus developed by him and many years later by his granddaughter Robin Lysne. He was very involved in the National Association of Chiropractic Doctors for many years."
Lysne celebrates the lives of her forward-thinking Norwegian ancestors, especially the strong and capable Kisti Lysne, who understood early on the injustices done to the native peoples of Wisconsin where she and her family settled, and found, through her kindness and courage, that learning from her new neighbors was of benefit to all. The narrative is rich in detail and a poetic sense of the hearts of these pioneers. Congratulations on it! Elizabeth McKenzie, author of The Portable Veblen and The Dog of the North Editor for Chicago Quarterly Review and Catamaran Literary Reader Lysne's remarkable personal history of a family's journey unfolds with kindness, grit, wisdom and a triumphant energy to turn the hardships and fears of the New World into a land of acceptance and hope for a future that is free of bigotry and hatred and one that that embraces us all.
