Papers of Emerson Hough [manuscript], 1900-1920.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647806518

The collection contains a quotation from Juvenal, with commentary. The letters discuss the composition of a series of articles for "The Century" magazine on the development of transportation in the west; possible publishers for a novel on John Law ["The Mississippi bubble"]; and a squabble with "The Century" when the book was offered to another publisher. Letters also mention topographical and population information on the west; work as a scenario writer for Universal Films; the White Paper Club (Chicago); serialization rights to "The sagebrusher"; and a reference made by Ripley Hitchcock to Hough's "Literary misconstructions of the modern west". The collection also contains a photograph of Hough and a questionnaire filled out by him.
