Lee," and "This Reckless Breed of Men." The research files include material on the fur trade, California, Mexico, and the controversial social insurance schemes proposed by the Retirement Life Payment Association during the Great Depression. The source material about Mexico covers geography, economics, social life, and indigenous peoples from the Spanish conquest until the early twentieth century, including data files and interview reports gathered for the Doheny Foundation. The ephemera consists mainly of biographical material about Cleland, six photographs, various clippings on the Southwest, and offprints or printed material by Cleland and his peers. The research notes are handwritten and typed on one half sheets sorted into folders by topic on the history of the West and for "The Cattle on a Thousand Hills" material. Note cards have biographical citations for research materials. There is a cassette tape and phonograph record of a radio interview with Robert Glass Cleland for the "Meet the Author" program and a phonograph record of a speech by James Blaisdell.
