I hesitated before ordering the book, fearing it might end up a disjointed memoir of a struggling North Dakota family fresh off the boat from Norway. I wasn't far off the mark as far as the book's talking points: hardship, strife, success, failure, birth, death, infinity. But come on, we're talking about North Dakota, the families who settled it, and those who have survived and remain there. This book examines a culture that has withstood everything Mother Nature has hurled in its residents' paths. Politics, economics, education, science, society...they're all covered, and they're all intertwined. Ultimately, this is a story of determination. Do they all live happily ever after? Of course not. One might say the story is still unfolding. I have roots in North Dakota. My dad was raised there, but after World War Two ended he would up in the state of Washington. Like many North Dakotans, he said it was a good place to be from. Though my family was German-American, the tracings of the Svendsbye family of Norwegian descent echo many of the chapters from my dad's early days in North Dakota. I'm glad I read it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiration for every time *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 4, 2014* There is enormous distance entailed in moving from Europe to America. There is even greater distance traveled from the beginning of the 20th century to today. The certainty is that those who make such a transition will encounter strangeness and trouble while it occurs. The Svendsbye family makes the (real) journey with unmistakable dignity and integrity that give courage and hope to those who follow them on their own journeys of change. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful book *by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 1, 2012* I bought this book because my ancestors also lived in N Dakota and had immigrated there from Norway. Mine settled on the east side of N. Dakota. Reading it was like listening to my dad telling his story. Alot alike. Was a very interesting book. Hard to believe the hardships they faced, but my dad said there was alot of hunger and bad growing land. Good book for anybody w/ Norwegian ancestry. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/8580832-i-paid-all-my-debts-a-norwegian-american-immigrant-saga](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/8580832-i-paid-all-my-debts-a-norwegian-american-immigrant-saga) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
