Oskar had his roots in Gothenburg. His youth was marked by hard work as a stevedore in the port of Gothenburg, where he earned a considerable fortune. Unfortunately, most of his income went up in smoke, quite literally, as the money disappeared into the liquor fog. Occasionally he assisted in his father's business, but the difficult times in Gothenburg prompted Oskar to seek new horizons. First he landed in Skår övre and then, in the 1920s, in Risveden.

Ångertuvan, the impressive mountain, had a faithful patron in Oskar Wennerholm. Together with Ingvar Sjöö, Helge Andersson from Färdsle and Lill-Ivar Karlsson from Blinneberg, they established the society "Ångertuvans Wänner" with a noble mission: to safeguard Ångertuvan and honor its beauty through ceremonial rituals. Oskar quickly became known as the "King of the Forests".

With a little help, Oskar built his little cottage, which he lived in until 1957. The cottage consisted of a simple kitchen without insulation and a winterized room, where an iron stove was the centerpiece of his daily life. He also built a chicken coop and a root cellar, where he stored potatoes and vegetables that he had grown with care.

But like all epic stories, this one has a sad chapter. Oskar spent his last days in Skepplanda old people's home, and his beloved home was sold at auction to be demolished. Despite his hard work and tireless struggle to make a living, he was well known in the community. From time to time, he would go out to sell birch brushes and whisks, always accompanied by his faithful dog Jeppe. During the summer he picked berries and mushrooms, and at Christmas he gathered carpet lint and spruce twigs, which he sold to the market traders. He made some of the whisks from the leftovers after the rabbits, which he fed with juniper, had gnawed the bark off the twigs. As he used to say, "the rabbits do half the work".

Oskar not only had working fists, but also a mesmerizing voice. He had once been a choir singer at Stora Teatern in Gothenburg and was sometimes invited to entertain at farmers' parties in the area. His singing repertoire did not include single songs, but rather arias from operas such as "The Merry Widow" and "Fair Helen."

So Oskar Wennerholm's memory remains in these lands, a legend whose life story is an uncut gem in the rich history of the Slereboån valley.
