George T. (George Tobias) Flom

Born in 1871 and active into the mid-20th century, George Tobias Flom was an American academic known for work in Germanic studies. He was associated with the University of Illinois and published scholarly writing on language, literature, and Scandinavian subjects.

He is especially remembered for A History of Norwegian Immigration to the United States: From the Earliest Beginning down to the Year 1848, a detailed study that traces the first phases of Norwegian settlement in America. The book reflects both careful research and a strong interest in the cultural history of immigrant communities.

Flom died in 1960. Although not a household name today, his writing remains useful for readers interested in Norwegian American history, immigration, and the study of Germanic and Scandinavian culture.
