Throughout his life Albert thirsted for knowledge in all fields of study. He also obviously enjoyed writing as a form of personal expression: besides his “Thots,” he recorded his life in an autobiography and forty-one volumes of diaries. He also wrote several biographies, two histories of San Juan County, a history of Blanding, and even a few works of fiction. Poetry also interested him and his daughter Ellen published a 336-page collection of his verses after his death. He was known as an eloquent speaker and people frequently asked him to give church sermons and funeral eulogies.
