Personal Correspondence – Joseph A. Graham, journalist in St. Louis, Philadelphia and elsewhere, undated
Scope and Contents
Graham discusses journalism in the United States and his experiences with hunting dogs; in particular two letters from Hillsboro, Alabama (no year, January 11 and January 21), and one letter from New Albany, Mississippi (no year March 8) discuss life in the rural South; his desire to write about the real lives of ordinary African-Americans in the South and their accomplishments, offset by his hesitancy about offending his white hosts; and the low standards of contemporary literature
