Abstract:

Papers of Malcolm Leviatt Rosholt, a journalist and author, the bulk of which relate to his United States military service in China during World War II, and taped interviews with early Wisconsin residents. The papers include photocopied correspondence, clippings and articles relating to the John Birch Society, a typed copy of Rosholt's Diary from China, two programs for the annual convention of the Flying Tigers Association (1992-1994) and copies of Operation Reports of the 14th Air Force. The tape-recorded interviews conducted by Rosholt, most with early residents in Portage, Marathon, Waupaca, and Shawano counties, Wisconsin, concern the history of their area and notable historical incidents.
