Kirsten Larson – American Girl

Kirsten Larson, 1854

Kirsten® lives near Maryville, MN; she was born on June 8, 1845. Kirsten (Keer-sten) Larson is a Swedish immigrant who lives in the Minnesota Territory with her extended family. She faces the hardships of adjusting to life as a pioneer in a new and unfamiliar country and the challenge of learning a new language. Kirsten was one of the first three dolls produced by American Girl. Unlike many of the dolls, Kirsten’s books have maintained their original illustrations (with the exception of the covers). The doll has long blonde banged hair that is braided and looped; fair skin; and crystal blue eyes. Like Josefina, Kirsten’s collection initially included many period-appropriate products which are now only available on the secondary market.
