  • Carl Roos' Civil War Diary, Translated Into English
    Translator’s Comments and Observations In translating Carl Roos‟ Civil War Diary, I have attempted to be as faithful to Mr. Roos‟ style and his nuances as far as possible. I have however taken the liberty to make it flow and be readable to the present day American reader. Where I have changed and/or added words or text, I have enclosed such additions in bracket as such []. Where Carl Roos used English words, I have followed the same with (sic). Where I am in doubt about a word, I enclose the translation in ??. Roos also has frequently capitalized such words as “Camp”, “Overcoat”, “Regiment”, etc. and I have retained his capitalization. However, he frequently did not capitalize words that generally are capitalized in English, and so I have taken the liberty of doing so. He especially did not capitalized peoples titles. I have done this. In Sweden, titles were and are still very important. In Section 16, Mr. Roos claims to have only several weeks of formal education during his youth. This is conceivable, but generally and in even the most rural of Swedish parishes, children attended school for several years, although the school year was generally short, being four to five weeks during the winter season. In the Clerical Survey or annual parish census known as the “husförhör”, everyone, adult and child, was questioned as to their ability to read, write, figure and comprehend. As these “förhör” were public events, there was probably an incentive for people to try to master “the reading, writing and arithmetic” to avoid embarrassment.

A few light rays from the barred window penetrate an otherwise dark room, barely reaching the wooden desk placed in the centre of the cell. Blonde, bearded, and with a face clearly marked by the march of history, the prisoner sitting at the desk is Johan Klasson Tay, or as he is better known to us, Johan Vilde – translation: John Savage. Although his gaze is as heavy as the chains around his ankles, the detainee is working from dusk to dawn, defying an aching body and the biting cold from the north winds that refrigerate the prison. As he scribbles it down with a quill on the piece of paper in front of him, Johan Klasson Tay invites us to share in his story – a biographical account that will not only provide an answer to the question of why he is imprisoned, but will explain how he acquired such an unflattering alias, associated with a lack of civilised, modern and cultivated manners.

  • Sweden Itinerary 1
    Navigare Yachting – Sweden Itinerary 1 With 30,000+ islands within easy reach, you could sail the Stockholm archipelago for months and never run short of delightful, sunny, charming destinations. Whether you're looking to relax amid the dramatic Baltic maritime scenery of pine-shrouded islets and secluded rocky coves, or sample food & drink pleasures onshore with the region's friendliest people, sailing the Stockholm archipelago is an experience that creates lifelong memories! Our first sample Stockholm archipelago itinerary stays relatively close to home, from inner- to mid-archipelago, where you'll find a breathtaking variety of destinations just a few hours' smooth sailing away. Saturday: Vaxholm Your sailing holiday begins in Vaxholm, the “capital” of the Stockholm archipelago. Located just east of Stockholm, Vaxholm (the name of both the town and the island it's on) is a gorgeous and quaint Baltic destination, home to picturesque turn-of-the-last-century pastel houses, delightful family-owned cafes and restaurants, and charming little shops on cobbled streets. Visit Vaxholm Fortress (built in 1544), a famous castle that for centuries has guarded the approaches to Stockholm. The area is also home to an amazingly diverse selection of scenic pine-clad islets and sheltered rocky coves, perfect for a day's exploring and relaxation. Sunday: Grinda Grinda is a delightfully unspoiled island, sprinkled with cozy, rustic wooden cottages among elegant pine woods. Even from the waters offshore, you can glimpse deer and foxes frolicking. In medieval times, this island was the haunt of buccaneers and smugglers. Today, it's home to the Grinda Wardshus, a hotel resort noted for its woodsy charm.
