Hi List! In the footnote to the Kaufman County translation, you'll find mention of an Elise Tvede Wærenskjold. You'll find more about this strong Norwegian woman here. http://www.texancultures.utsa.edu/hiddenhistory/Pages1/waerenskjold.htm It seems God in her wisdom sent Elise to civilise the Texans but I only wonder if her efforts were ultimately successful?
