Excerpt from Sweden and the Swedes I came as consul to Gothenburg - one of the thirty war consuls sent out by Abraham Lincoln. It was here I first learned to know what a noble, gener ous, hospitable race the Swedes really are - the worthy descendants of the soldiers of Gustavus Adolphus and the boys in blue of Charles XII. On my return to America it grieved me to find how little my countrymen knew of the Swedes, and it became one of the chief aims of my life to make their name and fame better understood in my native land.
