Paul Albert Anderson Papers
General description of the collection: The Paul Albert Anderson papers include a completed World War II Veterans Survey questionnaire which traces military service and post-war activities and comments on various aspects of military life. He notes that the weapons were reliable if cleaned properly. Equipment, rations, clothing, and supply services were adequate. Leadership was both good and bad. Recreation consisted of sightseeing, Special Service Shows where he saw Al Jolson, Marlene Dietrich, Danny Thomas, Joe Lewis, Joe E Brown, Ed Foley, and John Garfield among others, and playing cards. He tells of replacements from Indiana or Illinois who were convicts promised release if they fought and survived. He tells of being under attack at "Stuka valley" and the effect of various members of his unit.
The Anderson Letters
Between 1850 and 1900, over one million Swedes left their homeland for America in an epic wave of humanity. One of the emigrants was a young Swedish farm servant no longer content to exist in the harsh realities of his native country. Determined to fulfill his dream for a different life, Franz Albert Anderson left for America in the spring of 1880, and it was not long before other family members followed. In a compilation of letters discovered in a trunk in a North Dakota farmhouse and later translated by a direct descendent of the Anderson family vividly describes the compelling reasons they left Sweden for the unknown frontiers of America without knowing the language, customs, or practices. While following their dream for freedom, they had few illusions about the hardships they would face. This treasure trove of correspondence documents the emigrants resolve to own and work their own land, an impossible prospect in Sweden at that time. As their fascinating story unfolds, the Anderson family reveals how they followed the dream initiated by a young Swede’s vision of a better life to ultimately achieve great success in a new land.
Albert of Adelaide
At once an old-fashioned-buddy-novel-shoot-'em-up and a work of deliciously imagined fantasy, Howard L. Anderson's dazzling debut presents the haunting story of a world where something has gone horribly awry . . . Having escaped from Australia's Adelaide Zoo, an orphaned platypus named Albert embarks on a journey through the outback in search of "Old Australia," a rumored land of liberty, promise, and peace. What he will find there, however, away from the safe confinement of his enclosure for the first time since his earliest memories, proves to be a good deal more than he anticipated. Alone in the outback, with an empty soft drink bottle as his sole possession, Albert stumbles upon pyromani...
Anderson’s Reality and the Arts
Art is the creative manifestation of essences. In order to understand the relation between art and reality, we need a philosophical guide. The best way to comprehend how the creative act of imagining enables the mind to seek reality is to employ the kind of dialectical thinking that Plato used in his dialogues. Beginning with the shadows on the wall of the cave in which each person dwells, that process gradually enables us to grasp the essences that are manifested in individual works of art. Without a philosophical guide, we are likely to encounter only a blur of images in the visual arts, a cacophony of sounds in music, a whirl of activity in the theater, and chaos in the building of cities...
