Manuscripts
An account of traveling overland by car and trailer to Taos, New Mexico, by four women in 1939 (Esther, Mary Ellen, Bev, and Pat). They left Philadelphia mid-July and the journalistic account continues until their departure from Taos on August 30. Their trailer (named "Tuck") was "6' x 12' built of plywood and covered with duck canvas." Quite a bit of the account in Taos relates their experiences with Taos artists Dorothy Brett, Bert Geer Phillips, and Red Dancer (Juan Mirabal).This draft was submitted to Coronet Magazine in 1940, but was not published. The illustrations, done by Mahan, include drawings of the women's car and trailer, Pike's Peak, interior scenes, Taos Plaza, women in Taos, the pueblos and ranches.
