Biographical Note
Edmund Christopherson was born in Ohio in 1918. He graduated from Case
Western Reserve University in 1940. During college he became a Quaker. He
refused to enter war-industry work and worked for Arthur E. Morgan and helped
to set up the Celo Community in North Carolina. He was drafted in 1943,
obtained conscientious objector status, and became part of the Civilian Public
Service (CPS). He moved to Montana after serving as a smokejumper for the U.S.
Forest Service in the early 1940s, and made Missoula his headquarters for his
free-lance writing career.
He travelled extensively in the U.S. and abroad to research his
articles, which were published in a variety of newspapers and magazines,
including The
Saturday Evening Post,
Holiday,
Outdoor Life, the
Reader's Digest, and the
New York Times. He covered a whole range of subjects in
the Northwest, including travel, ecology, wildlife, and politics. He wrote and
published five books under his Earthquake Press label. He campaigned
unsuccessfully for the Montana House of Representatives from Missoula in 1964
and 1966.
He married Joan Christopherson and raised four children with her: Jan,
Ann, Jean, and Ian. Edmund Christopherson died from injuries sustained in an
accident while swimming off Rio de Janiero, Brazil, in 1974.
This collection contains Edmund Christopherson's personal and
biographical information, general correspondence, writing and research
materials, personal financial and legal documents, and project photographs as
well as business records generated by Earthquake Press. These materials
document Christopherson's professional approach, writing career development and
market, breadth of writing interests, and research style. The collection also
provides some insights into the procedures and challenges of operating a small,
regional publishing company in Missoula, Montana.
The collection is arranged in six series:
Series I: Personal
Series II: Correspondence
Series III: Research and Writings
Series IV: Financial and Legal
Series V: Earthquake Press
Series VI: Photographs

The specific actions of the original processors was not documented. In
2004 previously unprocessed photographs were incorporated into the collection,
described, and addressed for preservation concerns. One folder within the paper
collection was separated into three folders for better preservation, relocated
with other personal records, and individually described. All other collection
materials remain in the original order though a series structure was applied
and the full collection was extensively described.
