In 1908, Nels Nelsen earned his journeyman carpenterÕs certificate in central Denmark. For four years he traveled throughout Denmark by bicycle and train, working and writing of his adventures and observations of life in Denmark. Then he embarked on an even bigger adventure, crossing the Atlantic to begin a new life in America. In America he encountered new customs and places, but continued traveling as he worked, describing his time in the Midwest, as well as a winter spent in Florida. This story, in his own words, covers those years in Denmark and his first years in America as he joined the Union, learned English, found a wife, and started a family, becoming an American citizen and never returning to his homeland. His insights and descriptions, as well as the additional material discussing the places he visited and the events he witnessed, paint a vivid picture of early 20th century life both in the U.S. and in Denmark and tell the story of the immigrant experience through the eyes of someone who lived it.

They stay out! No more sock wads!
Size: Medium, Color: (100) White / White / Mod Gray
Best no show socks ever made!!!!! I've been struggling for 2 years to find ones that actually stay on your foot, even other national brands, and I just became content wearing my sneakers without socks. They ALWAYS slid down into my show & I ended up walking on a wad of sock until I could fix it...or usually just took them off after a couple of tries. Enter Under Armor!!! They a mid weight, but not very thick & still breathable. They work too by actually staying on your foot! Not once have they slid down into my show!! Very comfortable but they could be a little more affordable.

Ive tried so many no show socks but I love these. This is the 3rd set I've bought. They never slip off and the material is thin and breathable. Perfect for working out.

True no-show socks that don’t slide down!
Size: Medium, Color: (100) White / White / Mod Gray, Size: Medium, Color: (100) White / White / Mod Gray
This is the first pair of no-show socks I’ve tried that actually don’t slide down into my shoes. Trust me… I have tried lots of different pairs and this is the one! They fit perfectly. They’re not too thick and they’re obviously durable because I wash them after each wear, so daily.

Great socks!
Size: Medium, Color: (252) Blush Beige / White / Castlerock
Love these socks so much I got a second package. I like how thin and airy they are and they never slide down my heel. For thin socks they’re pretty durable.
