Hauge wrote extensively about life on the Ryfylke islands and about Norwegian-American emigration. ==Biography== Hauge was born and grew up on the island of Kyrkjøy in Sjernarøy, part of Finnøy municipality in Rogaland County, Norway. Hauge is best known for describing the life and adventures of Cleng Peerson, a pioneer Norwegian immigrant to the United States in the 1820s. His trilogy included: ''Hundevakt'' (1961; "Midwatch”), ''Landkjenning'' (1964; "Land Sighting"), and ''Ankerfeste'' (1965; “Anchoring”).

This publication was released as one of the official publications of the Norwegian Immigration Sesquicentennial. Hauge received numerous literary awards during his career.
