Donald A. Swan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Donald A. Swan (28 March 1935 – June 1981) was an American anthropologist.

Swan was a founder of the International Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics and was involved in the Northern League. He was an assistant professor at The University of Southern Mississippi and studied economics at Columbia.[1][2]

In 1966, Swan was arrested on mail-fraud charges. During the raid on Swan's apartment in Queens, New York, the police found Nazi memorabilia, weapons and ammunition.[2] A book by George Lincoln Rockwell of the American Nazi Party was also found, as well as a photograph depicting Swan with American Nazi Party members.[3]

After Swan's death, his papers were purchased and donated to Roger Pearson at the Institute for the Study of Man, under a Pioneer Fund grant of $59,000.[2][4]
