Discover a rare piece of Swedish-American religious history with this 1883 edition of the "Christlig Chronika Kalender" (Christian Chronicle Calendar). This fascinating volume was compiled by Erik August Skogsbergh, a prominent Swedish-American pioneer and revivalist preacher who became known as the "Swedish Moody" for his dynamic ministry in Chicago and Minneapolis. Published in 1882 for the upcoming year, this book served as an essential almanac and spiritual guide for the Swedish immigrant community during the height of the Great Migration.
The entire text is written in Swedish, offering a window into the cultural and spiritual life of the era. Within its 125 pages, you'll find Christian history, notable biographies, and religious reflections designed to provide daily inspiration. The 8" by 5.25" hardcover is bound in dark cloth with elegant gold lettering and blind-stamped decorations that still retain their antique charm. As a historical artifact, it shows honest signs of its long life, including gentle shelf wear and the characteristic toning of the paper, yet it remains in good, sturdy condition for its age. This is a must-have for collectors of Scandinavian Americana, genealogy buffs, or those interested in 19th-century religious publishing.
This item is antique, over 100 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
