Abstract:
Consists of material relating to the American author Conrad Richter, including manuscripts, writing notebooks, notes, and galley proofs for several of his novels and other writings. Includes a substantial amount of personal and professional correspondence, as well as photographs.

Richter, Conrad, 1890-1968

Conrad Michael Richter was born on October 16, 1890, in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1951 for The Town, the third and final installment in his pioneer trilogy entitled The Awakening Land. Richter may be best-known for two of his other novels -- The Sea of Grass and The Light in the Forest -- both of which were made into films. Richter, his wife, Harvena (Harvey) Maria Achenbach, and their daughter, Harvena (Vene), moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 1928. In 1950, Richter returned to Pine Grove and lived there until his death on October 30, 1968.

The collection contains manuscripts for various works of fiction and nonfiction by Richter: notes, notebooks, autograph and typescript manuscripts, galley proofs, related correspondence, clippings, and other background material for his trilogy The Trees (1940), The Fields (1946), and The Town (1950), collectively published as The Awakening Land (1966); the introduction and early drafts for The Sea of Grass (1937); outlines, notes on the Delaware Indian language, drafts, galley proofs, and early chapters entitled "My Enemy, My Son" for The Light in the Forest (1953); and corrected typescripts for The Grandfathers (1964) and A Country of Strangers (1966).

Additional material includes James Lee Barrett's screenplay of The Awakening Land, a chronology of the trilogy, several articles, four chapters from The Fields and a few early manuscript pages from The Lady (1957), notebooks on writing and various western topics, correspondence with Alfred Knopf (Richter's publisher), Paul R. Reynolds (both the father and son were Richter's literary agents), Erdmann N. Brandt (of The Saturday Evening Post), friends, literary associates, and readers. There is also a large selection of correspondence between Conrad Richter and his wife and daughter. Furthermore, there are miscellaneous notes and outlines for short stories and articles, including stories published in his Early Americana and Other Stories (1936), and personal journals (1925-1966), as well as four drawers of file cards on which Richter kept notes and ideas. The collection includes a fair amount of genealogical material on the Richter and Achenbach families, with items dating to the early 19th century.

The Pennsylvania State University Special Collections Library in University Park, PA, holds 9.4 cubic feet of other papers of Conrad Richter. Link to their finding aid online: http://www.libraries.psu.edu/digital/findingaids/2491.htm

Acquired as gifts from Conrad Richter and, after his death, from his wife and daughter.
