Robert Amandus Johnson chronicled this period of the history of Saint Croix from 1770-1776 and the remarkable relationship of the Island to the emerging American Nation. It relates, what is believed to be, the first foreign recognition of the American "Stars and Stripes." This occurred in Christiansted, St Croix in June 1776, prior to Congressional approval of the Declaration of Independence. This early "Stars and Stripes" was being flown from the American Brig "Nancy." The American Revolutionary Financier, Robert Morris had chartered the Brig "Nancy," on behalf of Congress, to acquire critically needed gunpowder in the Danish West Indies. Mr. Johnson resides in St Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, his adopted home since first arriving as an Ensign in the U.S Navy in 1959.

Our Danish Connection is a collection of 72 short essays that originally appeared in ST. CROIX THIS WEEK magazine (permission obtained) under that heading from 2009 through 2019. It documents the surprisingly extensive legacy of cultural, architectural, and genealogical resources from 1733 as a colony of Denmark until its sale with the islands of St. Thomas and St. John in 1917 to the United States. The tragic use of enslavement of Africans brought here to work in sugar cane fields temporarily enriched the European owners but emancipation took place in 1848. The Danish imprint on the culture has led to a surprising friendship between the islanders and Denmark with many conciliatory initiatives and large tourism and scholarly interests from Danes, creating a mood of mutual acceptance and support unusual between a former colony and its owners. The book contains a translation into Danish of all the essays by the author Nina York , a native of Denmark and resident of St. Croix since 1976. The book is supported by the St. Croix Friends of Denmark Society and the Danish West Indian Society of Denmark. We all share a love for this island as a special place to live.
