Abstract:

Papers of Norwegian authors Hjalmar Rued Holand and his son Harold Holand. The Hjalmar Rued Holand papers (1926-1962) reflect his lifelong attempt to prove that it was the Norse who first settled North America and his continuous efforts to establish the validity of the Kensington Rune Stone. A large portion of the collection is Hjalmar's manuscripts of his books and articles, the most successful of which was Old Peninsula Days, 1925. Harold Holand acted as his father's research assistant and was an author in his own right. Harold's papers (1927-circa 1970) consist of correspondence from his mother, Theresa (Evie) Holand, and his father, Hjalmar and manuscripts. Most of the manuscripts relate to Harold's personal fight against tuberculosis and his involvement in the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Association, although there are also works on Wisconsin history.
