View Series XII. Political Activities
Mumford had an uncanny sense of what information would be useful to a biographer, and in addition to committing his most intimate thoughts to paper, he painstakingly kept track of key dates, addresses, and other facts about his life. This series comprises typescripts, notes, and documents. It contains short autobiographical pieces of uncertain purpose; chronologies; and miscellaneous information regarding health, literary estate and will, and Mumford's relationship with the Harcourt publishing house. In addition, there is an unpublished interview transcript and an unpublished biographical sketch of Mumford by Van Wyck Brooks.
