The Biography of a Norwegian Violin Virtuoso
and Pioneer in the Keystone State
Ole Bull was the world-famous Norwegian violin virtuoso who lost a fortune trying to found the Norwegian colony of Oleana in Pennsylvania more than a century ago.
In Ole Bull Returns to Pennsylvania, Inez Bull — a descendant of the noted Norwegian — tells the true story of his “New Norway” project and pictures her own colorful career as a concert artist and music teacher on five continents.
Historians agree that Miss Bull has succeeded, single-handedly, in colonizing Oleana, whereas 800 people failed in the attempt over a hundred years ago.
Written with both skill and zeal, the book is a moving human drama. It has an appeal as a biography and as an autobiography and should do much to increase the growing interest in the colorful Ole Bull.
