He wrote the beautiful words of the "Muskego Manifesto". Johannes Johansen had left Store Walle in Lier on June 28, 1839 and sailed for America with his traveling companion Soren Tollefsen Bache. They went to Muskego in the summer of 1840 from the Fox River colony. In his diary , Bache told of staying with Østen Olsen of Tinn Parish on the journey to Muskego. Johansen was accomplished in the English language and tutored Bache on the language.

Note - Bache probably stayed with Østen Olsen Mølleflatten and his wife Lisbet Johnsdatter of the 1839 immigrants.
