Virginia S. Burlingame papers, 1864-1989.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/70962428

The Virginia S. Burlingame papers consist of literary manuscripts, research files, and ancestral family papers created or collected by her. Burlingame's literary manuscripts include original drafts or galley proofs of her three published books, along with many of her magazine articles which dealt with religious themes, travel, and Western history. Burlingame published under at least three names: her married name; her maiden name, Virginia Struble: and a pseudonym, John Linton Struble. She was particularly interested in a nineteenth century steamboat captain, John C. Barr, and she attempted unsuccessfully to market a children's biography of Barr. Another topic of interest for Burlingame was John J. Healy, a Montana frontiersman who also went to Alaska during the Gold Rush. Her Healy research culminated in a series of television scripts which she also failed to successfully market. Burlingame's ancestral papers include letters, documents, photos, and a transcribed diary created by John W. Wright, her maternal grandfather, who served in the Sixth Iowa Cavalry during the Civil War and took part in the 1864 campaign against the Lakota nation.
