Title: Papers of Frank M. King, 1880-1953. (bulk 1935-1953)

Drafts of King's book, Long horn trail drivers, make up the majority of the manuscript material. There is a copy of the manuscript that King sent to the publisher in 1940 and one incomplete draft of the book. In addition, there are a variety of manuscripts written by King relating his memories and stories about the American West and cattle drives, some of which were used in his books or printed in his column "Mavericks." Many of these items are untitled short stories, folklore, and biographies. Other book materials include King's handwritten inscriptions, an incomplete set of chapter drafts from Pioneer western empire builders, and the image proofs. Other items in the manuscript series are short stories, memoirs, and nonfiction writings of King's cowboy friends and associates, which King often quoted for use in his books and articles. There are also nine sketches by R. S. Carroll. The majority of the correspondence expresses interest in King's life in the West, requests, praise, and questions about King's books, praise for his writing and activism on American Indian welfare issues in his "Mavericks" column for the Western Livestock Journal, and submissions of personal stories about life in the American West. The correspondence also includes King's letters responding to requests for information on his book and the Western Livestock Journal. Prominent correspondents include many of the individuals who King included in his books and articles such as E. A. Brininstool, Chuck Martin, Jeff Milton,Tex Moore and Loraine M. Reynolds. Much of the correspondence provides insight into King's work regarding American Indian rights and welfare issues. In particular, the Loraine M. Reynolds letters highlight her work with the Navajo Indians on the Alamo Indian Reservation and her critique of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Some of the correspondence includes drawings and illustrations of cowboy and trail herding images. The Correspondence Sub-series is arranged alphabetically by author. All of the items are requests for King's various books addressed to both King and to the Western livestock journal. Some of the book requests include personal notes that did not contain substantive details warranting inclusion in the correspondence series. The Ephemera is arranged alphabetically by type. Materials include items regarding the copyright agreement and applications for King's books, Weekly Market Reports by the Arizona Cattle Growers Association, book announcements and advertising, and newspaper and magazine clippings. Subjects include American Indian education; American Authors; American West Authors; Cattle brands; Cattle trade; Cherokee Indians; Cheyenne Indians; Jesse Chisholm; Chisholm Trail; John Collier; Cowboys; Frontier and pioneer life; Crow Indians; Hopi Indians; horses; Indian reservations; Indians of North America; Jesse James; Bruce Kiskaddon; Klamath Indians; National Congress of American Indians; Navajo Indians; Will Rogers; Sioux Nation; Texas Cowboy Reunion; Trail of Tears; Bureau of Indian Affairs, Five Civilized Tribes Agency; United States Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes; Pancho Villa; Western stories, American West Folklore.
