Materials discussing Moritz Thomsen. These items were collected by Tom Miller for a
writing project on Thomsen. The research includes correspondence from those who knew
Thomsen, Thomsen's own letters to others, photographs, sketches and illustrations,
originals and copies of Thomsen's shorter-length writing projects, book covers from
Thomsen's novel-length manuscripts, and other information on Thomsen.
Thomsen was an American writer, farmer, and a volunteer with the Peace Corps. He worked
and wrote in the small town of Rio Verde, Ecuador. He spent 35 years in Ecuador and died
in 1991 of cholera. The Moritz Thomsen Peace Corps Experience Award was named after him,
an annual prize for the best short written about the experience of the body.
Photographs of Mortiz Thomsen and his life, as gathered by Tom Miller and others.
Many of the photographs have been set on pages with descriptions in preparation for
publication in an unfinished book project. Also included are several copies of
sketches and illustrations done by Moritz Thomsen.
