One typescript: Part I - Flight From Manhood by Raymond Otis Peter and the Giants, 1925-1966
Item — Box: 1
Scope and Content
From the Collection:
This collection consists of letters and clippings pertaining to Raymond Otis. The value of the collection, however, lies in the four bound volumes of his unpublished work. These writings parallel events in Raymond Otis' life (such as his childhood visits to New Mexico, his education at Yale, and his early years as a high school Latin teacher). They also allude to other members of the Santa Fe literary and artists' circles of the time (such as D.H. Lawrence, artist Gus Baumann, poet Witter Bynner, and novelist Mary Austin) and other prominent personalities of the time (such as Mabel Dodge). This collection would be invaluable to any scholar of Western novels already piqued by Raymond Otis' published writings as well as to researchers of the Santa Fe artists' colony. These unpublished works are also useful for their descriptions of areas of New Mexico (Lamy, Raton, Taos, and Santa Fe) in the early 1900s with regard to landscape, ethnic relations, and social life and customs.
