Someone posted that New Sweden was a Border Crossing but. Sorry but New Sweden was a major immigration area but is not and was not a Border town. I know - I live next door to it in Woodland, Maine. Ginny

I'd like to know how New Sweden could be a "crossing" when it's nowhere near the U.S./Canada border! Does some misguided soul think that because New Sweden was settled by immigrants from the Scandinavian country of the same name, that it constitutes a "crossing?" Those settlers came across the Atlantic Ocean in 1872 and landed at Saint John, New Brunswick, then journeyed up the Saint John River to where they crossed into the United States at Fort Fairfield, Maine.. They spent their first night in the U.S.A. at Caribou, Maine, twelve miles from the border, then continued northwestward another ten miles or so the next day. That brought them to the area where they settled and established the town of New Sweden. --- CBK LStric3193@aol.com wrote: > New Sweden was also a crossing. > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NEWBRUNSWICK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > > >
