Finding Guide to Resource Materials on Mirabeau B. Lamar and Other Texas Topics

In addition to poetry, W.E. Bard was an avid researcher of Texas History with a special interest in Mirabeau B. Lamar. This collection contains spiral notebooks of research notes taken from various resources concerning the life and career of Lamar, his ancestors and descendants and correspondence from Lamar family members. Other topics of Texas interest are also represented. This collection arrangement was created from the original order kept by Mr. Bard, no chronological order exists for correspondence; the folders were topically arranged by Mr. Bard. The notebooks and folder headings were kept as close to the original labels as possible. Staples and other metal attachments were removed where possible and retained when necessary. It is apparent that Mr. Bard intended to write either a biography of Lamar or a book on Texas History; however, no manuscript or published materials other than poetry titles exist in this collection
