Marcus Møller Thrane (14 October 1817 – 30 April 1890) was a Norwegian author, journalist, and the leader of the first Norwegian labor movement, later known as the Thrane movement (Norwegian: ''Thranebevegelsen'').〔(''Norwegian Emigrants with University Training 1830-1880'' (by Oystein Ore Norwegian American Historic Association. (Volume 19: Page 160) )〕 ==Early life== Thrane was born in Christiania in 1817. Shortly after his birth, his father, a merchant and managing director in ''Norges Rigsbank,'' was arrested for involvement in corruption, a case that devastated the family's reputation. Later, only fifteen years old, Thrane was orphaned and had to move in with friends of the family. In 1837, Thrane left Norway and traveled to France through Germany and Switzerland. Thrane stayed in Paris for several months before returning to Norway in December 1837. After finishing artium in 1840 and a brief period as a student of theology, Thrane and his newly wed wife, Maria Josephine Buch, moved to Lillehammer in 1841 where they ran a private school. In 1846, Thrane moved his teaching to Åsgårdstrand, but moved again the year after. In March 1847, Thrane came to Åmot in Modum where he began work as a teacher for the workers' children at the large industrial company, ''Blaafarveværket''. It was here he experienced his first political awakening. In April, the year after the company was experiencing difficulties, Thrane together with 250 workers were sacked. The family then moved to Drammen, the hometown of his wife, where Thrane became the editor of the local newspaper ''Drammens Adresse'', but because of his radical opinions, he was fired after only five months. At this time, Thrane had already begun his political activities.〔(''Marcus Thrane In Christiania: Unpublished Letter from 1850-1851'' (Translated and edited by Waldemar Westergaard.
