The Holy Insurrectionist: E.A. Skogsbergh

I read history like a sweet-toothed child looking through the window of a candy shop. Mouth watering. Eyes bulging. Desiring to break through the glass of time in order to smell, touch and taste the goodies inside. Historians are time-travelers at heart, searching the archives for old photos and writings that can transport us back to another era. One of my favorite time-traveling destinations is Lake Minnetonka in the 1880s where the greatest preacher among the Swedes had his summer cottage.
