              <text>Mainly letters from Norway to the family of a Norwegian-American educator. Included are the citizenship papers of Michael Larson, 1885, and three letters by N. J. Thomasberg, then a student at Augsburg Seminary, to members of the Larson Family. Letters from 1928 to 1937 are to Harold from his mother. Born in Sioux City, Iowa, Larson received his B.A. degree from Morningside College (1927), and his Ph.D. degree from Columbia University. The Kings College Press published his dissertation, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson: A Study in Nationalism, in 1944. He taught at different colleges, among them the University of Maryland and the Pentagon. He worked for the United States National Archives and served as historian for the United States Army and Air Force. The details of his professional career are covered in a letter from the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Columbia University, where a bulk of his papers are kept.</text>
