    Frank J. Cotter scrapbook

    Manuscripts

    A scrapbook created by Frank K. Cotter in the early part of the 20th century. The leather-bound scrapbook has a printed photo of Cotter pasted down on the title page; there is a modern autograph note, in an unknown hand, laid inside the front cover, with a few other printed items laid into the volume. The poems and short stories in the scrapbook are either printed clippings or typewritten copies, some of which were written by Cotter under his pseudonym Pat O'Cotter. The clippings and copies only fill twenty-five pages with the majority of the scrapbook containing blank and empty pages. The subjects covered are mainly World War I, Alaska, and the Klondike.
