How a memorial to Icelandic patriot Jón Sigurdsson united his people By Jonas Thor, translated by Daniel Teague Sigurdsson had led Iceland in its struggle for independence. This is the story of a monument to a great patriot and its role in uniting a people.

Direct and intelligent, Lillian Vilborg's editorials for the Lögberg-Heimskringla illustrate her passion for her Icelandic heritage. Engaged with current events, relating stories of Icelandic culture or of the early days of Icelandic settlement in North America, her writing reflects her broad range of interess, her compassion and her commitment to family, friends and Icelanders around the world.
