Charges against her: instigating the murder of some 35 German inmates, instigating the attempted...
From Norway to New Guinea. That was just to Sverdrup's liking. As venturesome as an earlier Norseman named Lief, he was born with "a yen for the different." He quit Norway at 17 to study at Minnesota's Augsburg College, later got a degree in civil engineering at the University of Minnesota. After a World War I stint as a lieutenant (he got his citizenship while in uniform) Sverdrup teamed up with John Ira Parcel, one of his old professors at Minnesota, to tackle big construction jobs. They built nine bridges over the Missouri River, four across...
