Kristofer Uppdal

Kristofer Uppdal was born on 19 February 1878 in Beitstad, near Steinkjer, into a peasant family, and lost his mother as a child. A herdsman from a very young age, then a miner and construction worker until 1910, he afterwards lived by his pen; he had also worked at the Norsk Hydro plant in Rjukan. He wrote in landsmål mixed with his dialect and published his first verse in 1905. From 1939 the State paid him an artist's pension; settled in Oppdal in 1947, he died there on 26 December 1961.
