Peter Lassen of California

Manuscripts

Typewritten manuscript copy of T. Vogel-Jorgensen's essay Peter Lassen of California, translated from the Danish by Helge Norrung and Connie Stroing as a term paper project in 1966, and copied and typed into manuscript form by Linda Bennett and Ettamae Echols as a term paper project in 1967 (both competed for Red Bluff Union High School). The biographical essay takes a favorable view of Lassen and his accomplishments as "the Dane who has left the deepest track in America." The essay traces Lassen's childhood and youth in Denmark, his early years in the United States and move to California, and various incidents relating his experiences and influence in California. It refers to Lassen as a "friend and peacemaker among Indians" and describes "warlike" conditions among California Indians. It concludes by recounting Lassen's death through transcriptions of contemporary newspaper accounts.
