DERLETH MSS.
The Derleth mss., 1958-1965, contain writings of August William Derleth, 1909-1971, author. Although Derleth's literary strengths are exemplified in his nostalgic writings about the Midwestern prairies, he is best remembered for his "weird" fiction, fantasy, and science fiction works. The collection contains printer's copies and galley proofs, many with holograph notes and corrections. The works in this collection represent his Sac Prairie and Wisconsin Saga fiction.
