Scope and Contents note

From the Collection: This collection consists principally of research material used in the writing of "The Wallace Myth." Correspondence, proposals, and the book manuscript are among them. Galley proofs of two other books, "The Second Man," an overview of the changing role of the Vice Presidency and "Stockcar Butterworth," a book about stock car racing, are also part of the collection, as are poems, most of them unpublished, and copies of several published articles. The bulk of material relates to the three presidential campaigns of George Corley Wallace: 1968, 1972, and 1976. The arrangement is chronological and includes such material as speeches, one photo of Wallace, clippings, research notes, and correspondence. Personal interviews are included in the research notes. Wallace's earlier political career is much less thoroughly documented.
