Under perioden 1570-1660 koloniserades barrskogsområdena i mellersta Skandinavien av skogsfinnar från det inre av Finland. De hade med sig sin speciella kultur och en annorlunda odlingsteknik. De bosatte sig i områden som kom att kallas finnskogar, finnmarker eller finnbygder. Den skogsfinska kulturen levde länge kvar i många områden, där vardagsspråket var den egna finska dialekten och de traditionstyngda släktnamnen ännu användes. Denna kultur och dess folk uppmärksammades av den finske Carl Axel Gottlund.År 2021 är det 200 år sedan Gottlund företog en resa genom de värmländska och norska finnskogarna. Resan skulle resultera i en av de främsta källorna till kunskapen om finnskogen som vi känner den idag - hans resedagbok.Under 200 år som förflutit har intresset för finnskogens kultur varierat men ständigt fascinerat och förundrat. Det är därför en ny återutgivning av dagboken kan främja forskningen och ytterligare uppmuntra till förkovran i det skogsfinska kulturarvet.
