In 1908, Nels Nelsen earned his journeyman carpenterÕs certificate in central Denmark. For four years he traveled throughout Denmark by bicycle and train, working and writing of his adventures and observations of life in Denmark. Then he embarked on an even bigger adventure, crossing the Atlantic to begin a new life in America. In America he encountered new customs and places, but continued traveling as he worked, describing his time in the Midwest, as well as a winter spent in Florida. This story, in his own words, covers those years in Denmark and his first years in America as he joined the Union, learned English, found a wife, and started a family, becoming an American citizen and never returning to his homeland. His insights and descriptions, as well as the additional material discussing the places he visited and the events he witnessed, paint a vivid picture of early 20th century life both in the U.S. and in Denmark and tell the story of the immigrant experience through the eyes of someone who lived it.

Great shirt for Price
Color: White, Size: Large
Seem to fit true to size and long enough. I cannot stand dress shirts that are too short on the sides and become untucked. I am also getting these embroidered with a company logo to turn into work shirts. I like the oxford feel, buttons are tight fit, arm length is hair long for me (5'11") - but for the fit they fine. I purchased four of these, all were consistent with one another, no surprises.

Might buy a couple more.
Color: Demin Blue, Size: Large
In the process of losing weight and needed a nice looking shirt for work without spending a lot of money on something that will only fit for a few months. This did the trick! Fits well, looks nice, and at a great price.

The fit is pretty good, it's acceptable.
Color: Navy Blue, Size: X-Large
Very good fit. The sleeves are long enough, I guess. I'll be rolling them up anyway. I would like it to be a tad bit longer though for tucking in. Other than that it feels nice and lightweight, can't wait to wash it so I can use it for going out.
