Elisabeth Koren, Norwegian immigrant, pioneer woman, pastor's wife, and mother of nine, was also a dedicated letter-writer. The recent discovery of 156 of her letters, which have been donated to Luther College, sheds light not only on her life of reflection, motherhood, immigration, and faith, but also on the larger history of Norwegians in America. The Koren letters came to light this winter during a bout of housekeeping, said Betty Nelson, wife of the late David Nelson, Koren's great-grandson. In donating the 156 letters to Luther, Betty gifted the college with a large and distinctive collection of America letters, correspondence new immigrants wrote to those in the homeland they left behind.
