Minneapolis Veckoblad

It was founded in 1884 by preacher Erik August Skogsbergh under the name Svenska kristna härolden ('The Swedish Christian Herald')[1][2] but was published under the new name from October 1887 to February 1906.

The newspaper often covered preacher Dwight Moody, featuring his sermons and information about his revival meetings, as well as asking readers to support his mission work to soldiers during the Spanish-American War.

The sermons of Paul Petter Waldenström, Thomas De Witt Talmage, Charles Spurgeon, and others were also frequently published.

[8] Skogsbergh contributed his own popular column, "Observations and Reflections", featuring his thoughts on a number of topics.

[2] Author Sigge Strömberg [sv; no; fr] worked for the paper as a young man from 1904 to 1905.
