WDS Correspondence, 1966 April

 File — Box: 38, Folder: 20
Identifier: F
From the Sub-Series:

The 1960s mark Wilma Dykeman’s burgeoning speaking career and continuing writing career, with the addition of a thrice-weekly published column in the Knoxville News Sentinel. The sixties also document the researching, writing, publishing, and promoting processes for Seeds of Southern Change: The Life of Will Alexander (with James R. Stokely Jr., 1962), The Tall Woman (1962), Prophet of Plenty: The First Ninety Years of W. D. Weatherford (1964), The Far Family (1966), Look to This Day (1968), The Border States (with James R. Stokely Jr., 1970), and the eventually canceled Appalachia: The Southern Hill Country. Other highlights include letters that show James R. Stokely Jr.’s continued push to support social justice causes including race relations and integration, and correspondence documenting how Wilma Dykeman’s mother and mother-in-law’s cancer treatments put The Far Family and other writing and speaking commitments on hold.
