- Description
- Articles, clippings, correspondence, manuscripts, unpublished research notes, lectures, and a scrapbook of a Norwegian-born journalist and author, who came to the United States about 1920 to study music, but who found the life of a "tramp-journalist" more interesting. He traveled all over the world writing for newspapers, sometimes using the pseudonym Viggo Vey. He edited "California Vikingen" (1924-1925) in Los Angeles. In 1926 he began his association with the Brooklyn, New York, newspaper "Nordisk Tidende," of which he became chief editor (1941-1962). He is the author of two books, both published in Norway: "Langs landeveien" (1929) and "Skrift i sand" (1954).
