Clearwater County! Home of so many first generation immigrant musicans. Tonight I shared about two Nordic Newcomers from Sweden: Per August Widmark (Södermanland to Minerva) and Hård Lars Larsson (Älvdalen to Lammers) I also had the GREAT honor of playing with Per August Widmark's Great Granddaughter, Anita!! This presentation is sponsored by the Clearwater County Historical Society- The History Center and the UW Center for the Study Of Upper Midwestern Culture.
