McWilliams, Robert. 1 letter (1984, June 8) to friends and relatives of Elza Ivan Edwards
- Description
- The papers include 43 pieces of correspondence and ten pieces of ephemera. The majority of the correspondence is written by Elza Ivan Edwards and is personal in nature; however, several of the letters discuss in detail the activities and publications of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Corrals of the Westerners and the Death Valley '49ers. The letters also discuss Edwards' various books on Death Valley as well as the publications of George Koenig, Anthony Kroll, and Earl F. Nation (fellow writers and the addressees of Edwards' letters). One letter by Edwards recounts a hiking trip in Nevada and provides a good description of the area around Dayton, Nevada as well as the ghost towns Delamar and Genoa. The ephemera includes biographical information about Edwards and newspaper clippings.
