As Legend Has It
History, Heritage, and the Construction of Swedish American Identity
Jennifer Eastman Attebery
“Arguing convincingly that historical legends are fundamental components of a selective, often self-congratulatory, ‘useable past,’ Attebery reminds us that these stories buttress inarguably contemporary heritage claims. An original contribution to a neglected, important topic.”
—James P. Leary, University of Wisconsin–Madison
