Letters to John D. "Jack" Leedy, 1902-1908

The Rex Ellington Beach Collection highlights the many occupations, and interests of Rex Beach, particularly his career as a writer of various types of pieces, including short stories, radio plays, novels, articles, and plays. Beach’s strong connection with Rollins College, particularly during the time he served as the president of the Rollins Alumni Association, is the second main component of this collection. The collection also contains several pieces of writing authored by Beach, though most of the manuscripts of these works are typed, final copies rather than earlier drafts. This collection is divided into eight series: BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION, ROLLINS COLLEGE, WRITINGS, PUBLICATIONS, PLAY PRODUCTIONS, FILMS, and PHOTOGRAPHS.
