The papers of Clarence Darrow (1857-1938) span the years 1894-1941,
but are concentrated in the period between 1910 and 1935 and consist largely of
material collected by Darrow's biographer, Irving Stone, in the course of his
research.
The papers relate to Darrow and his career, especially his literary
activities. The
Speech,
Article, and Book File contains drafts of published and unpublished
articles and includes handwritten and typewritten copies of his autobiography.
Many of the drafts are written on the back of incoming correspondence. One set
of printed matter includes an almost complete collection of Darrow's published
works as well as articles about him and his interests. Another set contains
publications pertaining to Darrow and those of interest to Irving Stone.
Topics in the
Subject File
include prohibition, religion, and capital punishment. Darrow was interested in
literature and literary figures, especially Leo Tolstoy, whose philosophy he
admired. His correspondence contains a letter from a friend in Hawaii
continuing a discussion of Joseph Conrad and the themes of his work. W.
Somerset Maugham wrote Darrow praising his autobiography; Frank Harris wrote
seeking his legal counsel.
Other correspondents include Lillian Gish, Bolton Hall, John Haynes
Holmes, Donald R. Richberg, Charles Edward Russell, Walter Francis White, and
Brand Whitlock. There are also letters from people Darrow had befriended or
assisted in court: both Richard A. Loeb and Nathan Freudenthal Leopold wrote to
him, and a file of letters from James B. McNamara covers almost twenty years.
At the time of Darrow's trial on a charge of bribery in 1913, scores of people
expressed their faith in his honesty and innocence.
Treated in the
Subject File
series are Darrow's roles in the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission of 1902, the
Scopes evolution trial, and other controversial cases. Correspondence between
Irving Stone and Darrow's wife, Ruby Darrow, in the
Biography
File describes events from her point of view. The
Miscellany
series includes Darrow's laundry bag, a ration book, certificate of membership
in a “John Brown Cult,” birthday toasts, and partially finished crossword
puzzles.
The collection is arranged in eight series:
-
Correspondence,
1902-1938
-

1900-1935
-
