Hemlandet, alternately Gamla och nya hemlandet, was a Swedish-American newspaper begun in 1855 in Galesburg, Illinois. It was the first Swedish-language newspaper in America.
Det rätta hemlandet
In 1856, Hasselquist also founded the publication ('The True Homeland'). Its focus was primarily religious, in contrast to Hemlandet. ==References==
