Writings by Gohdes Subseries, circa 1953-1992 and undated
- Scope and content:
-
Consists chiefly of unpublished stories and memoirs as well as published writings. Also included are several academic pieces (other academic writing, such as lectures, can also be found in the Author Files Series). The manuscripts include work Gohdes did on an anthology, "True Stories about Indians from St. Nicholas Magazine and The Youth's Companion." Materials related to this project include original introductory material written by Gohdes as well as marked-up pages from the two magazines indicating which stories he hoped to include.
Notes and notecards pertain to Gohdes's more formal projects, while others provide insight into his many different interests. For example, a datebook contains "Some notes on big trees," which concern early literary references to large trees in the United States. Included is a notebook containing Gohdes's research on American humor. There are notes for a proposed project, "A Series on American Argument for Peace," containing very rough bibliographic notes on possible entries.
The Printed Materials consist of reprints of published articles by Gohdes, and include pamphlets and circulars that advertised the many series and books that Gohdes edited, introduced, or authored.
Arranged alphabetically by title within each section.
