son of a fisherman
on the Norwegian
island of Dønna,
Rølvaag arrived
in South Dakota
at age 20 to work
as a farm hand.
He eventually
earned degrees
from Augustana
Academy and St.
Olaf College, and
in 1905 he returned
to Norway to study
at the University
of Oslo. " If he'd
stayed in Norway
as the son of a
poor fisherman,
there was no
way somebody
from his social
and economic
class could ever
go to university
in Norway, " says
Zempel. " Being
able to go back
[and] get a year
of education in
Norway was really
important to him. "
Rølvaag returned
to the United States
in 1906 and began
teaching at St. Olaf,
where he remained,
teaching and
writing until his
death in 1931.

in the mind of the young
mechanic, who had immigrated
to Wisconsin
with his family at age five.

with motors for several years, Evinrude decided that day to move his focus away
from motorized carriages and on to an oarless boat. In 1911, he earned a patent
for a " marine propulsion system, " and the first commercial outboard motor
was born. Other inventors may have been working on similar motors at the
same time, but " he made it practical, " says Leiren. " He's like the Steve Jobs of
outboard motors. " Evinrude's Outboard Motor Corporation continued to sell
Evinrude motors until the company closed its doors in December 2000.
