Peter Bernard Kyne papers, 1917-1957.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/57229257

Collection includes thousands of personal and professional correspondence, and well over a hundred manuscript copies of novels and short stories by Kyne. The collection spans the years 1917 to 1957, but the majority of the correspondence dates from 1935-1940. Much of the correspondence is on literary and business matters. The Cappy Ricks radio rights controversy produced extensive correspondence with Ray Appleby, a radio producer, and with two legal firms; Loeb and Loeb, and Overton, Lyman and Plumb. However, the Cappy Ricks stories are almost entirely unrepresented. Correspondence with Herbert Cooper Thompson is included. Kyne and Thompson had been friends since serving together in the Philippines. The collection contains part of a novel manuscript by Thompson and many of his letters to Kyne. The Thompson papers, containing several Kyne letters and manuscripts, are also in the University of Oregon Libraries. Other major personal correspondents include Owen B. Winters, Irene Holden, Evelyn Kane, Bert Dolan, A.D. Schindler, Chet Schwarzkopf, Roy W. Howard, Wallace Sheehan, and Eugene Overton.
