Spear, Elsa, 1896-1992.

The collection primarily consists of material received in the mail in the course of a long correspondence with the director of the American Heritage Center. Clippings and other material were offered for their historical interest. The audiotapes preserve Virginia Benton Spear's diaries as read by her daughter Elsa Spear Byron. Some words of the diaries are obscured or lost at the end of each tape, however. The six paintings by E.W. "Bill" Gollings are early works of the noted western artist.
