Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

The bulk of this subseries consists of William Jovanovich's editorial drafts of chapters for Charles Lindbergh's Autobiography of Values, including several working versions of each chapter, along with setting copies, outlines, and plans for the book, notes, page proofs, and galley proofs. These materials document the transformation of Lindbergh's fragments into a completed whole heavily mediated by Jovanovich. A much smaller group of drafts, book jacket proofs, notes, and photographs related to the 1970 publication of The Wartime Journals of Charles A. Lindbergh is also present, as are long essays Lindbergh wrote in response to Kenneth Davis and Walter Ross's books about him and his corrections on John Nance's draft for The Gentle Tasaday, for which he also wrote the forward.
