This blog shares the journals of my great-grandfather Nelson Hjalmar Lindgren (b. 14 Oct 1884 Sweden d. 3 Mar 1976 E. Prov, RI). These writings give a window into a fascinating man and give the story of a remarkable life of a first generation Swedish-American. The daily entries of Nil's journals from 50 years ago will give our family a greater connection to our past.

Sat. July 29, 1961:
Up and out when we heard the bugle blowing reveille and went down to the house and had breakfast.
Then off to North Conway and up around the Mountains and over to Barre, then down down along 5 to Mass. Over to 9 and Worcester then 146 to 5 to Lins around 10.00.
We stopped in Leicester on Route 9 and had dinner in the “Castle,” a nice restaurant. After we dropped Lin off we went to Dicks and stayed there over night.
Had a few showers on the way down.
