Field Trip to Lapukka

Kajaani, early July - Kajaani mid September 1835

Lönnrot dropped into Lapukka for pure interest. He wanted to see the region where Arhippa Perttunen´s father the Great Ivan had sung. Arhippa had said that his father was a far greater talented poem singer than he himself was.
