His papers also include a number of autograph signed\n     letters from some of the notable personalities of the period:\n     William Borah, William Jennings Bryan, Josephus Daniels, Jay\n     Gould, Benjamin Harrison, Charles Evans Hughes, Henry Cabot\n     Lodge and Woodrow Wilson. The papers of Dos\n     Passos' first wife, Katharine contain a number of her\n     short story manuscripts and correspondence that includes\n     autograph signed letters and a poem from Ernest and Pauline\n     Hemingway.

The papers of Charles W. Bernardin, who\n     interacted extensively with Dos Passos while attempting to\n     write and publish a biography about him, contain a scholarly\n     dissertation and unpublished manuscripts on Dos Passos and his\n     writings. Included also are Dos Passos family photographs and\n     a large volume of correspondence that was exchanged with Dos\n     Passos during 1942-1966. The Bernardin material has been\n     relocated to the appropriate sections of the collection (See\n     boxes 1, 2, 94, 130-133, 137-139). The personal papers\n     relating solely to Bernardin are in box 143. \n     \n     Other writings and print matter: (Boxes\n     143-144)\n     Miscellaneous manuscripts by named and anonymous authors\n     and other print matter that may have been of interest to Dos\n     Passos as memorabilia or as background.","The Dos Passos papers at the University of Virginia present\n     a vivid chronicle of the author's activities, thoughts and\n     literary skills as he analyzed, reported on and criticized the\n     turbulent events of the 20th century. Dos Passos, identifying\n     with the leftist radical sympathies of the post-World War I\n     period, experimented in expressing these sentiments with\n     innovative writing techniques in some of his most important\n     and successful works: \n     One Man's Initiation--1917 (1920), \n     Three Soldiers  (1921), \n     Manhattan Transfer  (1925) and\n     the trilogy, USA  (The 42nd Parallel,  1930; Nineteen Nineteen,  1932; \n     The Big Money,  1936).","The collection highlights the Dos Passos chronicle\n     principally through a large body of manuscripts, letters and\n     other personal and family related papers that have been\n     assembled at the University of Virginia over the past 40 years\n     from a series of gifts from Dos Passos and later, from his\n     widow Elizabeth, and his daughter Lucy Dos Passos Coggin. Also\n     included is a small quantity of gift acquisitions from several\n     close friends and associates.","The major portion of the papers is comprised of manuscript\n     material (published and unpublished) of most of his novels,\n     plays, poems, articles, speeches, lectures, readings and his\n     reportage on history, politics, society and travel. Included\n     are corrected and uncorrected typescripts, galley and page\n     proofs, notes, outlines, related research material and an\n     extensive assemblage of publisher and literary agent\n     correspondence. Of particular interest are his diaries and\n     notebooks filled with recorded observations, thoughts, verse\n     and sketches that may have served as the basis for some of the\n     character development and themes found in his published\n     writings and in his works of art.","Another large part of the collection contains letters\n     written to him over his lifetime from close friends, literary\n     associates and random correspondents which comprise a\n     narrative, of sorts, of the conflicting political, social and\n     cultural ideas that he and others of his generation grappled\n     with in the period between the two World Wars. Letters from\n     his close friends and literary associates include, among\n     others, those from E.E. Cummings, Ernest Hemingway, John\n     Howard Lawson, Archibald MacLeish, Walter Rumsey Marvin,\n     Gerald Murphy, Dudley Poore and Edmund Wilson.","The balance of the collection consists of Dos Passos family\n     papers, along with a small assortment of other miscellaneous\n     material. The family papers contain correspondence Dos Passos\n     exchanged with his parents, his wife Katharine and other\n     collateral relatives. Included among Dos Passos' personal\n     papers are financial, legal, and household data; mementos of\n     his awards and honors; originals and copies of his drawings\n     and paintings; articles and newsclips about his life and his\n     writings; and a collection of photographs of his childhood\n     years, portraits and snapshots of him as a young adult and\n     family photographs of the period 1950 through 1960. In later\n     years, Dos Passos turned from the radicalism of his youth. He\n     settled in the family home in Westmoreland County in northern\n     Virginia with his wife Elizabeth Holdridge Dos Passos and\n     their daughter Lucy where he continued to pursue, with his\n     characteristic vigor, the engagement of his new found\n     political and social ideas into his writings, lectures and\n     speeches.","He died on September 28, 1970 and remains as one of the\n     pre-eminent writers of the 20th century.","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Papers of John Dos Passos \n 1865-1998"],"collection_ssim":["Papers of John Dos Passos \n 1865-1998"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["5950"],"unitid_tesim":["5950"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"acqinfo_ssim":["The collection is a consolidation of gift and other\n      acquisitions received in the Special Collections Department\n      of the University of Virginia over the period 1958-1999\n      from: John Dos Passos, his wife Elizabeth Holdridge Dos\n      Passos, his daughter Lucy Dos Passos Coggin and from a\n      number of friends and associates that include: Thomas Pym\n      Cope, Mrs. Lloyd (Marion) Lowndes, Mrs. Harold Weston,\n      Connie and William White, Edmund Berkeley, Jr., Charles W.\n      Bernardin, Jack Diggens, Kenneth C.

Dos Passos, identifying\n     with the leftist radical sympathies of the post-World War I\n     period, experimented in expressing these sentiments with\n     innovative writing techniques in some of his most important\n     and successful works: \n     One Man's Initiation--1917 (1920), \n     Three Soldiers  (1921), \n     Manhattan Transfer  (1925) and\n     the trilogy, USA  (The 42nd Parallel,  1930; Nineteen Nineteen,  1932; \n     The Big Money,  1936).","The collection highlights the Dos Passos chronicle\n     principally through a large body of manuscripts, letters and\n     other personal and family related papers that have been\n     assembled at the University of Virginia over the past 40 years\n     from a series of gifts from Dos Passos and later, from his\n     widow Elizabeth, and his daughter Lucy Dos Passos Coggin. Also\n     included is a small quantity of gift acquisitions from several\n     close friends and associates.","The major portion of the papers is comprised of manuscript\n     material (published and unpublished) of most of his novels,\n     plays, poems, articles, speeches, lectures, readings and his\n     reportage on history, politics, society and travel. Included\n     are corrected and uncorrected typescripts, galley and page\n     proofs, notes, outlines, related research material and an\n     extensive assemblage of publisher and literary agent\n     correspondence. Of particular interest are his diaries and\n     notebooks filled with recorded observations, thoughts, verse\n     and sketches that may have served as the basis for some of the\n     character development and themes found in his published\n     writings and in his works of art.","Another large part of the collection contains letters\n     written to him over his lifetime from close friends, literary\n     associates and random correspondents which comprise a\n     narrative, of sorts, of the conflicting political, social and\n     cultural ideas that he and others of his generation grappled\n     with in the period between the two World Wars. Letters from\n     his close friends and literary associates include, among\n     others, those from E.E. Cummings, Ernest Hemingway, John\n     Howard Lawson, Archibald MacLeish, Walter Rumsey Marvin,\n     Gerald Murphy, Dudley Poore and Edmund Wilson.","The balance of the collection consists of Dos Passos family\n     papers, along with a small assortment of other miscellaneous\n     material. The family papers contain correspondence Dos Passos\n     exchanged with his parents, his wife Katharine and other\n     collateral relatives. Included among Dos Passos' personal\n     papers are financial, legal, and household data; mementos of\n     his awards and honors; originals and copies of his drawings\n     and paintings; articles and newsclips about his life and his\n     writings; and a collection of photographs of his childhood\n     years, portraits and snapshots of him as a young adult and\n     family photographs of the period 1950 through 1960. In later\n     years, Dos Passos turned from the radicalism of his youth. He\n     settled in the family home in Westmoreland County in northern\n     Virginia with his wife Elizabeth Holdridge Dos Passos and\n     their daughter Lucy where he continued to pursue, with his\n     characteristic vigor, the engagement of his new found\n     political and social ideas into his writings, lectures and\n     speeches.","He died on September 28, 1970 and remains as one of the\n     pre-eminent writers of the 20th century.","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Papers of John Dos Passos \n 1865-1998"],"collection_ssim":["Papers of John Dos Passos \n 1865-1998"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["5950"],"unitid_tesim":["5950"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"acqinfo_ssim":["The collection is a consolidation of gift and other\n      acquisitions received in the Special Collections Department\n      of the University of Virginia over the period 1958-1999\n      from: John Dos Passos, his wife Elizabeth Holdridge Dos\n      Passos, his daughter Lucy Dos Passos Coggin and from a\n      number of friends and associates that include: Thomas Pym\n      Cope, Mrs. Lloyd (Marion) Lowndes, Mrs. Harold Weston,\n      Connie and William White, Edmund Berkeley, Jr., Charles W.\n      Bernardin, Jack Diggens, Kenneth C.

The papers of Charles W. Bernardin, who\n     interacted extensively with Dos Passos while attempting to\n     write and publish a biography about him, contain a scholarly\n     dissertation and unpublished manuscripts on Dos Passos and his\n     writings. Included also are Dos Passos family photographs and\n     a large volume of correspondence that was exchanged with Dos\n     Passos during 1942-1966. The Bernardin material has been\n     relocated to the appropriate sections of the collection (See\n     boxes 1, 2, 94, 130-133, 137-139). The personal papers\n     relating solely to Bernardin are in box 143. \n     \n     Other writings and print matter: (Boxes\n     143-144)\n     Miscellaneous manuscripts by named and anonymous authors\n     and other print matter that may have been of interest to Dos\n     Passos as memorabilia or as background.","The Dos Passos papers at the University of Virginia present\n     a vivid chronicle of the author's activities, thoughts and\n     literary skills as he analyzed, reported on and criticized the\n     turbulent events of the 20th century. Dos Passos, identifying\n     with the leftist radical sympathies of the post-World War I\n     period, experimented in expressing these sentiments with\n     innovative writing techniques in some of his most important\n     and successful works: \n     One Man's Initiation--1917 (1920), \n     Three Soldiers  (1921), \n     Manhattan Transfer  (1925) and\n     the trilogy, USA  (The 42nd Parallel,  1930; Nineteen Nineteen,  1932; \n     The Big Money,  1936).","The collection highlights the Dos Passos chronicle\n     principally through a large body of manuscripts, letters and\n     other personal and family related papers that have been\n     assembled at the University of Virginia over the past 40 years\n     from a series of gifts from Dos Passos and later, from his\n     widow Elizabeth, and his daughter Lucy Dos Passos Coggin. Also\n     included is a small quantity of gift acquisitions from several\n     close friends and associates.","The major portion of the papers is comprised of manuscript\n     material (published and unpublished) of most of his novels,\n     plays, poems, articles, speeches, lectures, readings and his\n     reportage on history, politics, society and travel. Included\n     are corrected and uncorrected typescripts, galley and page\n     proofs, notes, outlines, related research material and an\n     extensive assemblage of publisher and literary agent\n     correspondence. Of particular interest are his diaries and\n     notebooks filled with recorded observations, thoughts, verse\n     and sketches that may have served as the basis for some of the\n     character development and themes found in his published\n     writings and in his works of art.","Another large part of the collection contains letters\n     written to him over his lifetime from close friends, literary\n     associates and random correspondents which comprise a\n     narrative, of sorts, of the conflicting political, social and\n     cultural ideas that he and others of his generation grappled\n     with in the period between the two World Wars. Letters from\n     his close friends and literary associates include, among\n     others, those from E.E. Cummings, Ernest Hemingway, John\n     Howard Lawson, Archibald MacLeish, Walter Rumsey Marvin,\n     Gerald Murphy, Dudley Poore and Edmund Wilson.","The balance of the collection consists of Dos Passos family\n     papers, along with a small assortment of other miscellaneous\n     material. The family papers contain correspondence Dos Passos\n     exchanged with his parents, his wife Katharine and other\n     collateral relatives. Included among Dos Passos' personal\n     papers are financial, legal, and household data; mementos of\n     his awards and honors; originals and copies of his drawings\n     and paintings; articles and newsclips about his life and his\n     writings; and a collection of photographs of his childhood\n     years, portraits and snapshots of him as a young adult and\n     family photographs of the period 1950 through 1960. In later\n     years, Dos Passos turned from the radicalism of his youth. He\n     settled in the family home in Westmoreland County in northern\n     Virginia with his wife Elizabeth Holdridge Dos Passos and\n     their daughter Lucy where he continued to pursue, with his\n     characteristic vigor, the engagement of his new found\n     political and social ideas into his writings, lectures and\n     speeches.","He died on September 28, 1970 and remains as one of the\n     pre-eminent writers of the 20th century.","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Papers of John Dos Passos \n 1865-1998"],"collection_ssim":["Papers of John Dos Passos \n 1865-1998"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["5950"],"unitid_tesim":["5950"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"acqinfo_ssim":["The collection is a consolidation of gift and other\n      acquisitions received in the Special Collections Department\n      of the University of Virginia over the period 1958-1999\n      from: John Dos Passos, his wife Elizabeth Holdridge Dos\n      Passos, his daughter Lucy Dos Passos Coggin and from a\n      number of friends and associates that include: Thomas Pym\n      Cope, Mrs. Lloyd (Marion) Lowndes, Mrs. Harold Weston,\n      Connie and William White, Edmund Berkeley, Jr., Charles W.\n      Bernardin, Jack Diggens, Kenneth C.

Dos Passos, identifying\n     with the leftist radical sympathies of the post-World War I\n     period, experimented in expressing these sentiments with\n     innovative writing techniques in some of his most important\n     and successful works: \n     One Man's Initiation--1917 (1920), \n     Three Soldiers  (1921), \n     Manhattan Transfer  (1925) and\n     the trilogy, USA  (The 42nd Parallel,  1930; Nineteen Nineteen,  1932; \n     The Big Money,  1936).","The collection highlights the Dos Passos chronicle\n     principally through a large body of manuscripts, letters and\n     other personal and family related papers that have been\n     assembled at the University of Virginia over the past 40 years\n     from a series of gifts from Dos Passos and later, from his\n     widow Elizabeth, and his daughter Lucy Dos Passos Coggin. Also\n     included is a small quantity of gift acquisitions from several\n     close friends and associates.","The major portion of the papers is comprised of manuscript\n     material (published and unpublished) of most of his novels,\n     plays, poems, articles, speeches, lectures, readings and his\n     reportage on history, politics, society and travel. Included\n     are corrected and uncorrected typescripts, galley and page\n     proofs, notes, outlines, related research material and an\n     extensive assemblage of publisher and literary agent\n     correspondence. Of particular interest are his diaries and\n     notebooks filled with recorded observations, thoughts, verse\n     and sketches that may have served as the basis for some of the\n     character development and themes found in his published\n     writings and in his works of art.","Another large part of the collection contains letters\n     written to him over his lifetime from close friends, literary\n     associates and random correspondents which comprise a\n     narrative, of sorts, of the conflicting political, social and\n     cultural ideas that he and others of his generation grappled\n     with in the period between the two World Wars. Letters from\n     his close friends and literary associates include, among\n     others, those from E.E. Cummings, Ernest Hemingway, John\n     Howard Lawson, Archibald MacLeish, Walter Rumsey Marvin,\n     Gerald Murphy, Dudley Poore and Edmund Wilson.","The balance of the collection consists of Dos Passos family\n     papers, along with a small assortment of other miscellaneous\n     material. The family papers contain correspondence Dos Passos\n     exchanged with his parents, his wife Katharine and other\n     collateral relatives. Included among Dos Passos' personal\n     papers are financial, legal, and household data; mementos of\n     his awards and honors; originals and copies of his drawings\n     and paintings; articles and newsclips about his life and his\n     writings; and a collection of photographs of his childhood\n     years, portraits and snapshots of him as a young adult and\n     family photographs of the period 1950 through 1960. In later\n     years, Dos Passos turned from the radicalism of his youth. He\n     settled in the family home in Westmoreland County in northern\n     Virginia with his wife Elizabeth Holdridge Dos Passos and\n     their daughter Lucy where he continued to pursue, with his\n     characteristic vigor, the engagement of his new found\n     political and social ideas into his writings, lectures and\n     speeches.","He died on September 28, 1970 and remains as one of the\n     pre-eminent writers of the 20th century.","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Papers of John Dos Passos \n 1865-1998"],"collection_ssim":["Papers of John Dos Passos \n 1865-1998"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["5950"],"unitid_tesim":["5950"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"acqinfo_ssim":["The collection is a consolidation of gift and other\n      acquisitions received in the Special Collections Department\n      of the University of Virginia over the period 1958-1999\n      from: John Dos Passos, his wife Elizabeth Holdridge Dos\n      Passos, his daughter Lucy Dos Passos Coggin and from a\n      number of friends and associates that include: Thomas Pym\n      Cope, Mrs. Lloyd (Marion) Lowndes, Mrs. Harold Weston,\n      Connie and William White, Edmund Berkeley, Jr., Charles W.\n      Bernardin, Jack Diggens, Kenneth C.

The papers of Charles W. Bernardin, who\n     interacted extensively with Dos Passos while attempting to\n     write and publish a biography about him, contain a scholarly\n     dissertation and unpublished manuscripts on Dos Passos and his\n     writings. Included also are Dos Passos family photographs and\n     a large volume of correspondence that was exchanged with Dos\n     Passos during 1942-1966. The Bernardin material has been\n     relocated to the appropriate sections of the collection (See\n     boxes 1, 2, 94, 130-133, 137-139).

Dos Passos, identifying\n     with the leftist radical sympathies of the post-World War I\n     period, experimented in expressing these sentiments with\n     innovative writing techniques in some of his most important\n     and successful works: \n     One Man's Initiation--1917 (1920), \n     Three Soldiers  (1921), \n     Manhattan Transfer  (1925) and\n     the trilogy, USA  (The 42nd Parallel,  1930; Nineteen Nineteen,  1932; \n     The Big Money,  1936).","The collection highlights the Dos Passos chronicle\n     principally through a large body of manuscripts, letters and\n     other personal and family related papers that have been\n     assembled at the University of Virginia over the past 40 years\n     from a series of gifts from Dos Passos and later, from his\n     widow Elizabeth, and his daughter Lucy Dos Passos Coggin. Also\n     included is a small quantity of gift acquisitions from several\n     close friends and associates.","The major portion of the papers is comprised of manuscript\n     material (published and unpublished) of most of his novels,\n     plays, poems, articles, speeches, lectures, readings and his\n     reportage on history, politics, society and travel. Included\n     are corrected and uncorrected typescripts, galley and page\n     proofs, notes, outlines, related research material and an\n     extensive assemblage of publisher and literary agent\n     correspondence. Of particular interest are his diaries and\n     notebooks filled with recorded observations, thoughts, verse\n     and sketches that may have served as the basis for some of the\n     character development and themes found in his published\n     writings and in his works of art.","Another large part of the collection contains letters\n     written to him over his lifetime from close friends, literary\n     associates and random correspondents which comprise a\n     narrative, of sorts, of the conflicting political, social and\n     cultural ideas that he and others of his generation grappled\n     with in the period between the two World Wars. Letters from\n     his close friends and literary associates include, among\n     others, those from E.E. Cummings, Ernest Hemingway, John\n     Howard Lawson, Archibald MacLeish, Walter Rumsey Marvin,\n     Gerald Murphy, Dudley Poore and Edmund Wilson.","The balance of the collection consists of Dos Passos family\n     papers, along with a small assortment of other miscellaneous\n     material. The family papers contain correspondence Dos Passos\n     exchanged with his parents, his wife Katharine and other\n     collateral relatives. Included among Dos Passos' personal\n     papers are financial, legal, and household data; mementos of\n     his awards and honors; originals and copies of his drawings\n     and paintings; articles and newsclips about his life and his\n     writings; and a collection of photographs of his childhood\n     years, portraits and snapshots of him as a young adult and\n     family photographs of the period 1950 through 1960. In later\n     years, Dos Passos turned from the radicalism of his youth. He\n     settled in the family home in Westmoreland County in northern\n     Virginia with his wife Elizabeth Holdridge Dos Passos and\n     their daughter Lucy where he continued to pursue, with his\n     characteristic vigor, the engagement of his new found\n     political and social ideas into his writings, lectures and\n     speeches.","He died on September 28, 1970 and remains as one of the\n     pre-eminent writers of the 20th century.","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Papers of John Dos Passos \n 1865-1998"],"collection_ssim":["Papers of John Dos Passos \n 1865-1998"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["5950"],"unitid_tesim":["5950"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"acqinfo_ssim":["The collection is a consolidation of gift and other\n      acquisitions received in the Special Collections Department\n      of the University of Virginia over the period 1958-1999\n      from: John Dos Passos, his wife Elizabeth Holdridge Dos\n      Passos, his daughter Lucy Dos Passos Coggin and from a\n      number of friends and associates that include: Thomas Pym\n      Cope, Mrs. Lloyd (Marion) Lowndes, Mrs. Harold Weston,\n      Connie and William White, Edmund Berkeley, Jr., Charles W.\n      Bernardin, Jack Diggens, Kenneth C.

Dos Passos, identifying\n     with the leftist radical sympathies of the post-World War I\n     period, experimented in expressing these sentiments with\n     innovative writing techniques in some of his most important\n     and successful works: \n     One Man's Initiation--1917 (1920), \n     Three Soldiers  (1921), \n     Manhattan Transfer  (1925) and\n     the trilogy, USA  (The 42nd Parallel,  1930; Nineteen Nineteen,  1932; \n     The Big Money,  1936).","The collection highlights the Dos Passos chronicle\n     principally through a large body of manuscripts, letters and\n     other personal and family related papers that have been\n     assembled at the University of Virginia over the past 40 years\n     from a series of gifts from Dos Passos and later, from his\n     widow Elizabeth, and his daughter Lucy Dos Passos Coggin. Also\n     included is a small quantity of gift acquisitions from several\n     close friends and associates.","The major portion of the papers is comprised of manuscript\n     material (published and unpublished) of most of his novels,\n     plays, poems, articles, speeches, lectures, readings and his\n     reportage on history, politics, society and travel. Included\n     are corrected and uncorrected typescripts, galley and page\n     proofs, notes, outlines, related research material and an\n     extensive assemblage of publisher and literary agent\n     correspondence. Of particular interest are his diaries and\n     notebooks filled with recorded observations, thoughts, verse\n     and sketches that may have served as the basis for some of the\n     character development and themes found in his published\n     writings and in his works of art.","Another large part of the collection contains letters\n     written to him over his lifetime from close friends, literary\n     associates and random correspondents which comprise a\n     narrative, of sorts, of the conflicting political, social and\n     cultural ideas that he and others of his generation grappled\n     with in the period between the two World Wars. Letters from\n     his close friends and literary associates include, among\n     others, those from E.E. Cummings, Ernest Hemingway, John\n     Howard Lawson, Archibald MacLeish, Walter Rumsey Marvin,\n     Gerald Murphy, Dudley Poore and Edmund Wilson.","The balance of the collection consists of Dos Passos family\n     papers, along with a small assortment of other miscellaneous\n     material. The family papers contain correspondence Dos Passos\n     exchanged with his parents, his wife Katharine and other\n     collateral relatives. Included among Dos Passos' personal\n     papers are financial, legal, and household data; mementos of\n     his awards and honors; originals and copies of his drawings\n     and paintings; articles and newsclips about his life and his\n     writings; and a collection of photographs of his childhood\n     years, portraits and snapshots of him as a young adult and\n     family photographs of the period 1950 through 1960. In later\n     years, Dos Passos turned from the radicalism of his youth.
