Excerpt: Skandinaven was a Norwegian language newspaper published in Chicago, Illinois from 1866 until 1941. Skandinaven was established by three Norwegian immigrants; John Anderson, Knud Langeland and Iver Lawson. John Anderson administered the business side of the newspaper. Iver Lawson was the landlord who provided a location and facilities. Knud Langeland was the first editor of Skandinaven. Knud Langeland was an immigrant from Samnanger, Hordaland County, Norway. In 1843 Langeland, arrived in the United States, settling in Racine County, Wisconsin. In the fall of 1849 Langeland and his brother-in-law, O. J. Hatlestad, bought the printing press of the weekly, Nordlyset, from Even Heg and James DeNoon Reymert. This pioneer Norwegian newspaper publication ceased for financial reasons during October 1851. In the fall of 1859, Langeland was elected by Racine County voters to the Wisconsin State Assembly. Langeland occupied the editorial chair of Skandinaven until 1881. He died during 1883.
