Manuscripts
The Three Americas: [draft] [before 1935]. 2 items
- Description
- The collection contains 32 manuscripts arranged in chronological order. The bulk of the manuscripts are chapter drafts from Widney's book, The three Americas: their racial past. These manuscripts are arranged in chapter order. The text describes migration to North and South America, their racial makeup, and asserts that the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa form a federation based upon their common Anglo-Saxon ancestry. There are two manuscripts from Widney's book, The genesis and evolution of Islam and Judeo-Christianity. The remaining manuscripts include a poem by Widney and excerpts from a speech. The collection also includes 10 items of ephemera: five photographs of Widney and five photographs of a bust of his likeness installed in the Auditorium Room of the Los Angeles County Medical Association building in 1937.
