Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

Materials about Floyd Dell: clippings, obituary, lecture announcements, a couple of play programs, and promotional material and reviews about Dell's works. Also contains a small bit of information about his sons Tony (b. 1922) and Cris (b. 1927), and some information about Dell's employers and interests.

There is also an undated audio recording, mailed to the library in 1954, of Dell reading poems by W.B. Yeats, Vachel Lindsey, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Edwin Arlington Robinson, John Manapole, Carl Sandburg, Bliss Carman, G.K. Chesterton, and Dell himself. Dell speaks briefly between the poems; sometimes the interviewer and B. Marie Gage Dell can be heard in the background. The recording was made on a reel-to-reel tape; an audiocassette use copy was made from the reel tape in 1983, and the reel-to-reel was digitized in April, 2013. See Special Collections staff in regards to listening to this recording.
