    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Correspondence, snapshots, and random information about the work of a Norwegian-American sculptor in Elgin, Illinois. During the 1920s he was a member of Lorado Taft&#039;s Midway Studio in Chicago. As early as 1922 he began planning a pioneer memorial to be erected in Elgin at its centennial in 1935. Because of the economic depression, funds were not available, but Congress approved the minting of his commemorative coin, &quot;Pioneer Half Dollar,&quot; to begin raising money. He also proposed a colossal statue, &quot;I Will,&quot; to be erected in the Chicago harbor. He was a medalist and sculptor for the U. S. Department of War during the 1940s. He designed the Combat Infantry Badge, and designed and edited the commemorative American Roll of Honor, placed in the American Memorial Chapel, St. Paul&#039;s Cathedral, London.]]></dcterms:description>
