Study of Four Unexampled Interviews, 1924
Scope and Contents note
Manuscripts, clipping scrapbooks and notebooks containing Bell's writing and research. The works are primarily journalistic pieces, news dispatches from the London Chicago Daily News office, interviews with world leaders, and editorial columns. Other materials include short stories (some written under the pseudonyms Eric Bellamy and Rak Parke), poetry, and texts of the numerous addresses Bell gave during his two speaking tours. There are three unpublished book length manuscripts, one an autobiography titled Seventy Years Deep, an unfinished work called Let Us Go Seaward (a collection of Bell's 1934-1935 interviews), and The Latest War in Europe. Bell refers to this work, a collection of text, correspondence, and clippings, as a "Dossier" created in reaction to Roosevelt's "Quarantine Speech." There are also several notebooks that Bell kept throughout his career which illustrate both his creative process and provide striking detail of his meetings with world leaders and his views of Europe during the world wars.
