Here are some pictures I took while in Göteborg, Sweden. I wrote the chapter about John's emigration after visiting the city in 2015. The first two pictures show the building with the copper roof in the courtyard, surrounded by small booths/shops.
The streets leading to the harbor most likely look close to the way they would have in 1869, except for some modernization.

Memorial
To the memory of the
532 Byarum residents
who 1853-1930 emigrated to America, to seek their
fortune.
I'm trying, but I can't seem to get these charts to look right in the book! I plan to find a way to make this printable.
