Vol. 4: Franklin County Trials (note on cover: "Used for Kit Brandon"), Apr.-Jun. 1935

 File — Box: 114, Folder: 3528

Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

Seven scrapbooks, mostly comprised of newsclippings, works, and reviews of works. See also Series 5, Works, and Series 7, Publicity for more clippings of printed works and reviews of the works. It is assumed that five of the seven books were compiled by Anderson, including reviews of his novels and other publications, and two scrapbooks containing columns he penned in his newspapers. One volume appears to be a compilation of news articles used as research for his novel Kit Brandon. Volume 3 is the most eclectic scrapbook, compiled by Eleanor Copenhaver Anderson; along with clippings and reviews there are sketches, playbills, and printed items. Volume 7 has no relevance to Sherwood Anderson; it appears to be a memento scrapbook compiled by his first wife, Cornelia Lane Anderson.
