William R. Cox papers, 1914-1980.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54360641

Collection consists of correspondence, manuscripts, and pulp magazine tearsheets. The correspondence is largely of a business nature and much of it deals with Cox's agent and publishers. These include Lenninger Literary Agency, Bantam Books, Dodd, Mead and Co., Doubleday, Fiction House, and Harper & Row. Other correspondents include writers, Hal Evarts, Brian Garfield, William Gault, Noel Loomis, Leo Margulies, and Malcolm Reiss. The manuscripts are of juvenile sports fiction, western fiction, and crime stories. Also included in this series are outlines of sport stories and one box of notebooks. The notebooks, arranged chronologically (1914-1946) contain notes from Cox's high school days, as well as the period he wrote for pulp magazines. There are 23 books by Cox, mostly westerns, and about half of them are from the Buchanan series. Two photographs, one of Cox and the other an unidentified saloon scene (possibly from a writer's convention), have been removed to the Photograph Collection.
