She was the granddaughter of William Davis Ticknor, who founded Ticknor and Fields. The firm published the most successful authors of the period; directed the old Corner Bookstore, rendezvous for the intellectuals of Boston, Cambridge, and Concord at the time of their dominance in the country's cultural life; and also published the Atlantic Monthly, whose contributors included leading writers of America and England. Her father continued in the business, and Ticknor became an author and editor.","Having been educated privately, except for a year in public school and a special course at Radcliffe College, Ticknor began writing at the age of eighteen \"for the fun of it.\" She wrote both short fiction and articles for Harper's, Century, the Independent, Cosmopolitan, the New England Magazine, and Atlantic. Although a collection of minor stories and a light satire appeared in 1896, her work as a biographer is more important.","Source:\n\"Caroline Ticknor\".

This series is arranged in four subseries: Subseries A: Artifacts, chiefly concerning the Second International Mitford Homecoming; Subseries B: Albums and Volumes;Subseries C: Books Influential in the Life of Jan Karon; and Subseries D: Audiovisual and Born Digital Material.","Jan Karon was born on March 14, 1937 in Lenoir, North Carolina, to Robert Cecil Wilson (1914-1977) and Wanda Lee Wilson (1921- ) and was named Janice Meredith after the title of a popular novel. She and her younger sister, Brenda, lived as children with her grandparents, Monroe Ivy Cloer and Fannie Bush Cloer, on their farm outside Hudson, North Carolina. Both sisters later moved to Charlotte, North Carolina to join their mother who had married Toby Setzer, the owner of a hosiery knitting business.","At fourteen, Karon married Robert Bryan Freeland (1932-1995) in Charlotte and had one daughter, Candace Rae Freeland, in 1952. Her advertising career began at the age of eighteen, at Walter J. Klein Company, one of the first advertising agencies in the region.","Karon's marriage to Robert Freeland ended in divorce and in her early twenties, Karon married a Duke Power chemist, Bill Orth, and became active in the Charlotte Little Theater, the Mint Museum Drama Guild, and in local social and political issues. She was one of four white women who marched in an early civil rights protest, led by the Reverend Sydney Freeman, along Charlotte's North Tyron Street.","During the late sixties, she and Orth divorced. Karon then married Arthur Karon, a clothing salesman who moved the family to Berkeley, California, where they lived for three years.","After their marriage ended, Karon returned to Charlotte, North Carolina, and begun working again in advertising. Her dismissal from a Charlotte TV production company in 1982 precipitated what she called the 'proverbial dark night of the soul.' Karon returned to the faith taught her as a child by her grandmother. She began attending Charlotte's interdenominational Calvary Church, and worked as a free-lance copywriter until her move to Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1983, where she joined McKinney and Silver, an internationally renowned advertising firm.","She became an award- winning creative vice-president at McKinney, working on cruise line and airline accounts. There she won, with art director Michael Winslow, the coveted Steven E. Kelly Award, the print advertising equivalent of the Academy Award. Semi-finalists included British Airways, Harley-Davidson, and Waterford Crystal.","Her daughter, Candace Freeland, pursued photojournalism, winning numerous awards with the \"Miami Herald\", the \"Charlotte Observer\", and a stint in Central America for the \"U.S. News and World Report\".","In order to pursue her dream of writing a novel, Karon left her advertising career and, at age fifty, bought a house in the small mountain town of Blowing Rock, North Carolina, where she supported  her dream with freelance advertising work.","Soon, she approached the editor of \"The Blowing Rocket\" with a couple of chapters featuring an Episcopal priest named Tim Kavanagh, which he urged her to run in \"The Blowing Rocket\". The ensuing two years of writing  the priest's story for \"The Blowing Rocket\" resulted in her first novel,  \"At Home in Mitford\", published in paper by a small publishing house in the Midwest. Twenty years after its initial release in paper, the novel appeared in its 85th printing, in a new, 20th anniversary hardcover edition, from Penguin-Random House, the world's largest trade publisher.","The second and third Mitford novels, \"A Light in the Window\" and \"These High Green Hills\", were published by the same house, with limited marketing and distribution. Karon took the promotion of her books into her own hands, cold-selling them to bookstores and befriending bookstore owners. In Raleigh, bookseller Nancy Olson of Quail Ridge Books, was given a copy of \"At Home in Mitford\" by Mary Richardson, Karon's Raleigh neighbor and friend. Olson admired the work and in 1996 introduced Karon to literary agent Liz Darhansoff. Darhansoff showed the  Karon books to Carolyn Carlson at Penguin, and a long and fruitful relationship began. At this writing (2016), Karon has published twenty-two works of fiction and non-fiction,  with sales estimated at more than 40 million, not including foreign sales in nineteen countries. Karon is currently published by G.P. Putnam's Sons, an imprint of Penguin-Random House; her editor is Christine Pepe.","Jan Karon has won much recognition for her work. Among these are three nominations by the American Booksellers Association of \"At Home in Mitford\" for Best Book of the Year for three consecutive years (1996-1998) – a one-time-only occurrence in the Association's history to date.","In 2013, \"Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good\", which spent seventeen weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, was given the Library of Virginia's Best Fiction of the Year award. In 2015, Karon received The Library of Virginia's Lifetime Achievement Award. And in 2016, \"Come Rain or Come Shine\" debuting at #1 on the \"New York Times\" list, was the recipient of the 2016 Christy Award.

After the Civil War, Huntington moved to a farm in Ontario County, New York, belonging to his wife, to breed and sell fine saddle and coach horses and became a leading American authority on the Arabian horse. Later he moved to Oyster Bay, Long Island, in 1891, before returning to central New York at Rochester, in 1905.","In 1854, Huntington married Louise Elizabeth Hayes (1833-1917) and they had several children, including: 1)Isabella Lord (1861-1932) who married (1892) the Reverend James Winthrop Hegeman; 2) Allie Louise \n(1863-1908) who married (1884) 1st Willis Fred Gove [died 1892?] and 2nd Frank N.

Much of the correspondence pertains in some way to the history, breeding, raising, racing, or showing of the Arabian horse in the United States.","The papers contain letters from breeders and owners of Arabian horses, editors and writers for sporting periodicals of the period, and correspondents with others interested in horses; printed ephemera; financial and legal papers; pedigrees and breeding records, some printed and some hand-written; hand-written manuscripts by Avedis G. Asdikian and Randolph Huntington on horse breeding; news clippings; and several photographs.","Huntington became interested in using the two stallions given to former President U.S. Grant in 1877 by the Sultan of Turkey to breed a national horse for the United States. His breeding project, based on the Grant stallions and mares bred from the trotting horse \"Henry Clay,\" was not successful but it did bring the value of Arabian blood to the attention of other American horsemen, most notably Homer Davenport. This collection contains one letter from Homer Davenport to Randolph Huntington (July 15, 1902).","The depression of 1893 forced Huntington's breeding operations into receivership and his stock was sold by Peter C. Kellogg and Company, auctioneers according to \"The New York Times\" February 18, 1894. Correspondence with Collis P. Huntington, railroad magnate, discusses his requests for loans to alleviate his financial difficulties and save his work. Huntington and several other backers had formed a company in 1891 for the breeding of \"Americo-Arab\" horses, but in 1893 the treasurer, Francis H. Weeks, embezzled most of the company's assets and fled to Costa Rica. This embezzlement also contributed to Huntington's financial troubles which plagued him the rest of his life.","This collection also contains about sixty letters or copies of letters written by Huntington himself, though about fifteen are incomplete.

Seldes owned and led the venerable agency Russell \u0026 Volkening for 40 years, where his clients included Annie Dillard, Nadine Gordimer, James Lehrer, Peter Taylor, Barbara\nTuchman, Anne Tyler, and Eudora Welty.","Shreve's son, Porter Shreve is also a novelist and a writing professor, and the two have co-published two anthologies,\nOutside the Law: Narratives on Justice in America (1997) and\nHow We Want to Live: Narratives (1998).","As a very young child, Susan Shreve contracted polio and had a two year stay at Warm Springs, GA., (1950-1952), a hospital established by Franklin D. Roosevelt for polio rehabilitation. Shreve describes her experience in an autobiographical memoir, Warm Springs: Traces Of A Childhood At FDR's Polio Haven.

Ferragamo agreed, and produced custom made shoes for Shreve for years.","Her novel, A Country Of Strangers, about a Black and White family living on the same farm was under option for film, and Daughters Of The New World was an NBC mini series under the title A Will Of Their Own. Shreve was often a guest on the MacNeil Lehrer Newshour on PBS.","Honors and awards include:","Jenny McKean Moore Award, George Washington University, 1978;","Notable Book citation, American Library Association (ALA), 1979, for\nFamily Secrets: Five Very Important Stories;","Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies, National Council for Social Studies and the Children's Book Council joint committee, 1980, for Family Secrets: Five Very Important Stories;","Best Book for Young Adults citation, ALA, 1980, for\nThe Masquerade;","PEN/Faulkner writers award.","Guggenheim Fellowship grant in fiction, 1980;","National Endowment for the Arts fiction award, 1982;","Grub Street Award in Non-Fiction","Edgar Allan Poe Award, Mystery Writers of America, 1988, for\nLucy Forever and Miss Rosetree, Shrinks for Best Juvenile Novel.","Woodrow Wilson fellowships, West Virginia Wesleyan, 1994, and Bates College, 1997;","Lila Wallace Readers Digest Foundation grant.","Alumni Award at the Sidwell Friends School","Writers for Writers Award from Poets and Writers","Sources:\nGerald W.

Her writing is described as having \"snap and verve\" (New York Times) and marks a significant contribution to the genre. As an author of children's books, Shreve has been described as a \"master of subtle and wise perception\" (Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books). Her writing in general has consistently taken on a broad range of controversial topics, including political ideology (Children of Power, 1979, which tackles McCarthyism and responses to it), terrorism (Plum and Jaggers, 2000); disability (The Lovely Shoes, 2011) and Warm Springs, 2008); perceptions of racial identity (Glimmer, 1997, as \"Annie Waters\"); suicide, old age, and divorce (Family Secrets, 1979); and unwed parenthood (Loveletters, 1978, a book which was suppressed by its own publisher amid a controversy between writers, reviewers, and educators, with a subsequent debate in the press that Loveletters should be banned in schools). Her books are page-turners with rich character descriptions often likened to Charles Dickens, and filled with dramatic events.","The bulk of the collection represents her writings, including notebooks with manuscript drafts of many of her works and typescripts, many with annotations, including original versions of novels and stories with alternate titles and unpublished works  including I Can Touch an Autumn Morning, Wooden And Wicker, In The Center Ring, The Unadoptables, and Geography Of A Marriage.","Also included are book files which are(organized alphabetically by title) and consist of correspondence, clippings, reviews, promotional material, and ephemera such as dustjackets.","The correspondence includes letters from Shreve's agent, publisher, and editor as well as readers, writers,faculty, other literary agents, journalists, and Washington D.C. residents associated with publishing, writing, and PEN/Faulkner. There are combined personal and professional letters as the author kept these together in her life.  There are notable letters from Nicolas Delbanco,Richard Ford, John Irving, Edward P. Jones, Gordon Lish, Joyce Carol Oates, Tim O'Brien, Nan Talese, and Anne Tyler.","Also of interest is correspondence with Edward P. Jones when he was a student at the University of Virginia and having doubts about his writing career while studying for an education. There is also a draft of an article by Shreve in regard to the work of Amiri Bakara who received a PEN/Faulkner award. Shreve often included African American and LBGT perspectives in her writing.","The collection includes the business side of literary work as there are more than sixty contracts as well as printed articles and newspaper clippings. The contracts have limited access due to containing personal information.","There are also address books with entries from dozens of writers, editors, publishers, including Saul Bellow, Donald Bartheleme, John Irving, Bernard Malamud, Arthur Miller, Toni Morrison, Joyce Carol Oates, Tim O'Brien, Walker Percy, Eudora Welty, etc. and many others.","The Digital files comprise  911 files.
