ABOUT THE BOOK
Sculptor of The North//
It was the summer of 1973, and the Vietnam War was casting its insidious shadow over the world. Caught in a riot that began as an anti-war protest, I found myself running for my life from club-swinging cops and being teargassed from pepper fogging guns at the University of Minnesota. The protest was a result of American airplanes bombing neighboring Cambodia. It was soon after the deadly shootings at Kent State University where four students were gunned down. Many students gathered at Coffman Memorial Union watching television monitors broadcasting that day’s protest-turned-riot.
It was announced that the Minnesota National Guard had been called in. Oh-oh, here we go again. Were they going to open fire on us too? I was a senior at the university and had been accepted at the University of San Diego Law School. That day’s events changed my life. No way was I going to be a part of a money-crazed system as a lawyer, so I began my journey as an artist/sculptor.
About the author
Doug Petersen //
I entered this life and opened my wary eyes. I am the youngest son of Ken Petersen (1926-1977) and Bernice Rohne (1929- 2020). Largely anonymous childhood with only minor police troubles. Good at reading and writing from an early age thanks to my mother who encouraged me and my ambitious ways. I went on to attend the University of Minnesota from 1970 to 1973. I am known as a friend to strangers.
