Biographic Memoirs: Volume 54 contains the biographies of deceased members of the National Academy of Sciences and bibliographies of their published works. Each biographical essay was written by a member of the Academy familiar with the professional career of the deceased. For historical and bibliographical purposes, these volumes are worth returning to time and again.
General description of the collection: The Robert E. Wilson papers consist of his 2003 memoir, "War time travels 1951/1952: all this and Wellington Kansas too, a personal memoir." In his memoir, Wilson concentrates on the details of his railway travels while serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He describes traveling by troop transport trains on route to basic training and to the San Francisco point of embarkation in June 1951. Wilson describes railroads in Japan and Korea by contrasting them with the railroads in the U.S. He also describes his more luxurious railroad trip in August 1952 to Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania.
Chiefly letters from Wilson to his son, James Theodore Dudley Wilson.
