  • Valuing Immigrant Memories As Common Heritage
    Valuing Immigrant Memories as Common Heritage The Leif Erikson Monument in Boston TORGRIM SNEVE GUTTORMSEN This article examines the history of the monument to the Viking and transatlantic seafarer Leif Erikson (ca. AD 970–1020) that was erected in 1887 on Common- wealth Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts. It analyzes how a Scandinavian-American immigrant culture has influenced America through continued celebration and commemoration of Leif Erikson and considers Leif Erikson monuments as a heritage value for the public good and as a societal resource. Discussing the link between discovery myths, narratives about refugees at sea and immigrant memo- ries, the article suggests how the Leif Erikson monument can be made relevant to present-day society. Keywords: immigrant memories; historical monuments; Leif Erikson; national and urban heritage; Boston INTRODUCTION At the unveiling ceremony of the Leif Erikson monument in Boston on October 29, 1887, the Governor of Massachusetts, Oliver Ames, is reported to have opened his address with the following words: “We are gathered here to do honor to the memory of a man of whom indeed but little is known, but whose fame is that of having being one of those pioneers in the world’s history, whose deeds have been the source of the most important results.”1 Governor Ames was paying tribute to Leif Erikson (ca. AD 970–1020) from Iceland, who, according to the Norse Sagas, was a Viking Age transatlantic seafarer and explorer.2 At the turn History & Memory, Vol. 30, No. 2 (Fall/Winter 2018) 79 DOI: 10.2979/histmemo.30.2.04 79 This content downloaded from 158.36.76.2 on Tue, 28 Aug 2018 11:30:49 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms Torgrim Sneve Guttormsen of the nineteenth century, the story about Leif Erikson’s being the first European to land in America achieved popularity in the United States.

  • 2 Leif Eriksson Statue on Commonwealth Avenue, C. 1892
    2 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Summer 2021 Leif Eriksson Statue on Commonwealth Avenue, c. 1892 Eriksson stands above a dragon-headed boat which would have been the basin for a fountain. Source: Boston Public Library, Boston Pictorial Archive Collection– Mouton Photograph Company. 3 PHOTO ESSAY Vikings on the Charles: Leif Eriksson, Eben Horsford, and the Quest for Norumbega GLORIA POLIZZOTTI GREIS Editor’s Introduction: This colorful and intriguing photo essay traces how and why a statue of Norse explorer Leif Eriksson came to occupy a prominent place on Boston’s Commonwealth Avenue in 1877. A group of amateur archaeologists, scholars, and artists, all members of the Boston elite, fostered a growing interest in the theory that Leif Eriksson was the first European to reach North American shores hundreds of years before Columbus. Chemist Eben Horsford invented double-acting baking powder, a lucrative business venture which funded his obsessive interest in proving that Leif Eriksson played a much larger role in the establishment of European settlement on the continent. This photo essay follows his passionate, often misleading, and ultimately discredited contribution to the history of North America. Dr. Gloria Polizzotti Greis is the Executive Director of the Needham History Center and Museum. This is a slightly revised and expanded version of material that was first published on the museum's website.1 * * * * * Historical Journal of Massachusetts, Vol. 49 (2), Summer 2021 © Institute for Massachusetts Studies, Westfield State University 4 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Summer 2021 At the far western end of Boston’s Commonwealth Avenue promenade, Leif Eriksson stands shading his eyes with his hand, surveying the Charlesgate flyover.

Canton's Copperworks Condos Remarkable New Stylish Condos. Wide Range of Amenities. View Photos & Floor Plans. By Thorndike Development Open Frederick Law Olmsted designed the Newton portion of Commonwealth Ave as part of the Emerald Necklace park system. It was built in 1895 with a line of the Middlesex and Boston Street Railway in the median, with Norumbega Park, an amusement park at the end of the line on the Charles River in 1897 to increase use of the line. Streetcar service was cut back to the Boston border in 1930 and buses last ran on Commonwealth Avenue in 1976, according to historian Bob Pollock. Subscribe The redesign will focus on a disconnected segment of the carriageway from Lyons Field to east of Auburn Street near the Marriott Hotel. The project proposes to create more green space and a walking and bicycle path by rerouting traffic from north of the median to the south side of the road.
