  Correspondence

  Manuscripts

  A series of letters written primarily by Virginia "Ginger" Warren, who worked for lawyer Frank J. Hogan, to George W. Johnston Jr. and Bess Johnston, with a few letters and memoranda written by Hogan. Letters are not official office correspondence but rather more casual and personal, while also offering insights into current events. In addition to Warren's personal affairs and relationships with the Johnstons, topics include the Long Beach earthquake of 1933, the effects of the Great Depression on law firms and the federal government, Republican attitudes towards the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and the work of Hogan's law office on a variety of cases, including Andrew Mellon's tax evasion case and federal prosecutor Robert Jackson. Matters related to the Dohenys are also discussed, such as Estelle Doheny's role with the Petroleum Securities Company, and the disposition of of Edward L. Doheny's estate.

  Autobiography [microform] : 1837-1874

  Manuscripts

  Microfilm of a typescript of Goudy Hogan's autobiography, typed by Muriel Hogan Hunter in 1935. This copy was owned by Margaret Hogan Traveller. Included are descriptions of Hogan's life from the time of his arrival in the United States from Norway until his travels to Dixie, Utah, in 1874. Hogan writes of his family's life in Illinois and Iowa and their journey westward to Utah, his experiences driving a government oxen team from Council Bluffs to Salt Lake City, his desire to joint the Mormon Battalion, and his involvement in several grist mills, including those at High Creek and Mink Creek. Hogan frequently details aspects of his daily life such as the raising of crops, the building of log cabins, and the types of clothing required for overland travel. He also describes his sorrow at the news of Joseph Smith's death, the debts acquired from his grist mills, his years of crops lost to grasshoppers, and the deaths of many of his children from illnesses. The microfilm also contains a portion of Hogan's original handwritten manuscript and a typescript portion of his biography/autobiography, written with his daughter Josephine Hogan Adair.
