George Sterling collection
Manuscripts
A collection of approximately 70 poems and sonnets and three letters written by George Sterling. The poems and sonnets are typewritten and autograph, many are signed and some are incomplete. The poems and sonnets deal with, among other subjects, World War I, love, revenge, change, Carmel, California, and Jack London. One of the poems, "The northern star, the northern wind..." was found on the floor beside Sterling's deathbed and was possibly his last poem. The letters are written to Ambrose Bierce and Edwin Markham.
