John Holladay Latané papers, 1913-1930.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48369120

The collection consists of five series: writings, lectures and speeches, correspondence, research material, and material on the McCormick Reaper controversy. The writings (c. 1913-1926) form the largest series and contain partial drafts of three of Latane's works: "History of the United States," "History of American Foreign Policy" and "From Isolation to Leadership." Latané was interested in the political issues surrounding World War I and the interwar period. His writings and speeches reflect his concern with the League of Nations, the use of the Monroe Doctrine, the Mexican Revolution and U.S.-Latin American relations. In 1913, Latané undertook an investigation of the invention of the reaper. Descendants of Cyrus McCormick's brother, Leander, claimed that the reaper had actually been Cyrus's father's idea. At the request of a Mrs. Emmons Blaine of Chicago, Latané researched the claims of both sides. Latane's research notes and a typescript of his findings form the McCormick Reaper series. The research material series consists mainly of printed material about World War I, the Mexican Revolution and the post-war issues gathered by Latané.
