File — Box: Map case #2
Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The papers of Tom and Bula Charles date from 1898-1969. Most of the items,especially the research files, are the creation of Bula Charles, who assumed many of her husband's interests after his death. The papers have been divided into four series: Correspondence, General files, Research files and Photographs.
Among the correspondence is a folder of letters (1926-1931) concerning the establishment of White Sands National Monument. Significant correspondents include H. L. Kent; Herbert Hyrisk, editor of Farm and Home; Senators Holm B. Bursum and Sam G. Bratton; A. N. Blazer; P. H. Homer; C. L. Sonnichsen; A. B. Fall; Governor Arthur Seligman; and Dennis Chavez.
General files include newspaper clippings, principally concerning the Charles family from 1936-1962. Also included are galley sheets from Tales of the Tularosa and More Tales of the Tularosa, notes, copies of news articles, story typescripts and speech drafts. Additional materials include forms and documents from Bula Charles's term as U. S. Commissioner for the District Court of New Mexico.
Most of the collection is comprised of research files containing news, story drafts, clipping and various notes. Folder headings include: Air Force; Alamogordo; Rev. Albert W. Braun; the Butterfield Trail; Dog Canyon; El Paso; Family History; Forest Service; Insurance; Indians; Kalmuk People; Lincoln County; New Mexico History; Newsletter; Otero County Electric Co-op; Pioneers; Prehistoric New Mexico; Eugene Manlove Rhodes; Soil Conservation; Three Rivers; Tularosa; Visually Handicapped; White Oaks; and White Sands. Of particular interest is a folder on the Fountain murder.
Photographs fall into many of the same subject groupings as the research files. A number are unidentified.
