Translated from 'Nordmændene i Amerika' by Martin Ulvestad. 1907. Bristol County At Fall River - so the city is named, that lies at a place where Leif Ericksen landed - there are 10-12 Norwegians of whom I shall name 4: merchant Nils Arnesen from Drammen, Pastor C. G. Johnson, priest for an American congregation and shipmasters Harry Johnson and Henry Carlson, the latter three from Slagen Parish. It should be added that none of these descend from Leif Ericksen's colony. The aforementioned Nils Arnesen (who is mentioned in 'Prehistory') is a very old man who has lived in Fall River almost all his life. They have a small Scandinavian-Lutheran congregation there.
