It was in elementary school that William Anderson first became interested in history. His first "book" was one that he wrote and illustrated on Abraham Lincoln in the fifth grade.
After finishing college, he became a teacher and while in graduate school he began writing for magazines. Since then he has written extensively for dozens of publications, including American History Illustrated, Saturday Evening Post, Christian Science Monitor, The Horn Book Magazine, Travel and Leisure, and others.
William Anderson has served as a consultant for Harper Collins Publishers, for Arts and Entertainment Network and has appeared on numerous radio and television interviews, including C-Span 'Book Notes'. He has served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Laura Ingalls Wilder/Rose Wilder Lane Historic Home and Museum since 1987. He is a frequent speaker at conferences, schools, and libraries.
William Anderson had the pleasure of being invited to the White House on September 17, 2002 for the third of Laura Bush's American Authors Symposiums. He now always travels to the locales of projects he is working on. When he's not traveling to the location of a project he's working on he lives in Lapeer Michigan, where he is constantly busy with teaching and writing.
