Hr. exam. med. Brandt reiste fra Hamburg 18. mai 1840 og kom etter 67 dagers reise til New York. Hva var mannens fulle navn og vita. Og hva skjedde med han i Amerika?

Han skrev en interessant tosiders artikkel i et Tilæg i Morgenbladet 17. september 1841 med tittelen «Fra Amerika».

Hei!
I hope this helps some???
I found an article about a Dr. (doctor) Brandt who treated the Norwegian Ole Rynning, when he was dying from malaria and typhoid fever in Illinois.
Ole was b. April 4, 1809 in Ringsaker Norway
F. Jens Rynning, M Severine Catharine Steen

Ole was working on building the Illinois Canal...the conditions for the workers were not healthy and he got very sick (syk).

Ole died Sept 1838..he was buried in an unmarked grave on the prairie in Illinois

Dr. Brandt published an article in the Morgenbladet Sept 18, 1841
(this is just some of what I get from this link)
https://archive.org/stream/olerynningst ... n_djvu.txt

Perhaps you can find more about Dr. Brandt??...I think he lived at the Beaver Creek Colony,
where Ole lived. (Iroquois county, Illinois)

One more link about Ole Rynning

Takk for gode innspill. Jeg har via blant annet Ingrid Semmingsens bok Veien mot vest (1942) funnet hans fulle navn og sjekket videre med andre kilder: Hans Christian Brandt. Han var den første norske legen som kom til Amerika i 1840. Han kan med andre ord ikke ha behandlet Ole Rynning, som døde i 1838. Men Blegen skriver i forordet til den engelske versjonen av Amerikaboka (True account ...): "The physician who visited the Norwegian
settlements in 1840 was a Dr. Brandt. He ascribed Rynning's death to
malaria followed by typhoid Fever."

Jeg har ikke funnet ut når og hvor han døde.

Patty: Do you read Norwegian?

Hei Arnt-Erik
My Norwegian is not perfect...but I usually "get the point".
So Dr. Brandt did not treat Ole Rynning...but Dr. Brandt decided (in 1840..after Ole's death) how/what Ole died from...Malaria and Typhoid.

Interesting that Dr. Brandt was one of the first Norwegian doctors to settle in America.

mvh

Kanskje..
Christ Brand in 1880 census Chicago, Cook county..he is a doctor/physician
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MXJM-D89

also..
1870 census there is a C. Brandt, Cook county, Illinois, also with wife Maria
He is a doctor
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1 ... cc=1438024

Perhaps this is the wrong Dr. Brandt...I see that the children are born in Norway...1853 to 1861..
Perhaps Dr. Brandt went home to Norway for a time??..then returned to America??

Here is the oldest son David Brandt, 1900 census b. 1853 in Norway
but immigrated 1868.
So I guess this is the wrong family....since Hans Christian Brandt was in America in 1840s.

Fant dette på ancestry.com.

practiced in this country. As far as we have been able to learn, Hans C.
Brandt from Drammen was the first Norwegian-trained doctor to come to
America. He first practiced a while in Chicago and in the Norwegian
settlements in Illinois. Then he bought a farm in Iowa and later moved to
Indiana. At present his practice is exclusively among Americans. He is in
good repute as a doctor and is said to have made a fortune of no mean
