Ole Bull was a 19th-century Norwegian violinist, often referred to as the "Paganini of the North." In July 1856, he held a benefit concert at the Minnesota territorial capital to raise funds for his fellow Norwegians who had settled in Minnesota. A statue of Ole Bull was erected in Loring Park in 1896. Every year on Norwegian Constitution Day (May 17th), Norwegians gather at the statue to honor their fellow patriot. All of my relatives on my father's side are descendants of these early Minnesotans, and the story of Ole Bull was an important part of my childhood upbringing.
