Additional materials added to the collection by Antonice L. Morin in 2021.","A small book collection accompanies this collection and may be accessed by performing a series search for the \"Carol Mundy Library\" in the  Online Catalog .","This collection consists of over 1,500 items related to the African American experience in the following formats: monographs, manuscripts, sheet music, pamphlets, journals, newspapers, broadsides, posters, photographs, and rare ephemera. These materials are divided into six topical series:","\nSeries I: Apopka Documents, 1892-1950, consists mostly of the personal papers of local businessmen, George Oden (1862-1939) and Michael Gladden, executor of Oden's estate. Also significant are a number of documents from Ella Wall, an Apopka resident who was the inspiration for a character in Zora Neale Hurston's Mules and Men. Mrs. Wall ran an Orange Grove, and was a close friend and confidant of Michael Gladden, Jr. until her death. Materials in this series largely consist of purchase receipts, tax forms, and other legal documents.","\nSeries II: Civil Rights-era, 1950-1997, consists of ephemera including magazines, sheet music, pamphlets, posters, and post cards. Not all the items in this series pertain directly to the Civil Rights Movement per se; rather they are grouped together because they fall within a specific date range.","\nSeries III: Dolls, circa 1930-1949, includes hand-made Caribbean island dolls, puppets and marionettes originating from the Caribbean.","\nSeries IV: Early America \u0026 Civil War-era, 1794-1892, contains the oldest materials in the collection that bookend the Civil War. Materials include magazines, newspapers, pamphlets, photographs and illustrations. Of particular interest is an original Buffalo Soldier muster roll signed by Colonel Abner Doubleday, discharge papers from 1874, and an authentic slave bill of sale.","\nSeries V: An oversized 19th century bible, 1857-1890, in a protective cloth clamshell and 11 black and white photographs that were originally stored inside the bible. The photographs vary both in subject and format, but do include several tintypes as well as portraits taken by notable African American photographer, James Presley (J.P.) Ball.","\nSeries VI: Photographs, 1860s - 1960s, includes a large collection of photographs that range from the 1860s - the 1960s. The \"assorted\" photographs in this collection are arranged chronologically, but there are several thematic sub-series as well. Those subseries include Bishop College, Civil Rights Movement, Civil Rights-era, South Dakota, and William T. Vernon photographs.","\nSeries VII: Visual Material, 1800s - 1969, consists of advertisements, postcards, product packaging, illustrations from magazines and newspapers, and other assorted \"visual\" ephemera. Much of the material in this series is considered racist or \"derogatory.\"","\nSeries VIII: Miscellaneous, 1880s - 1989, contains a small collection of materials that didn't fit into one of the other series. These materials include booklets, documents, pamphlets, and objects such as pins and medallions.","Series IX: Additional Materials, 1791 - 1990, consists of audio and visual items. In this series there are letters with envelopes and telegraphs. Letters delivered were most commonly with the family members of Blanche Kalfus and James Brasswell. There are official government documents and business documents consisting of receipts, deeds, contracts, notary public certificates, and justice of the peace certificates. This series also includes postcards, greeting, birthday and holiday cards, and invitations. There is memorabilia such as military buttons, pins, and patches, and a Civil War Veterans Metal. The photographs in this series consist of African American men, women, and children along with stereographs consisting of places and group photos.

He was a war hero, a scientist, and a sentimental man who recited\nYeats. He possessed a clear code of honor, a marvelous sense of humour, and an\nenterprising and creative spirit. As a young boy during the Depression in DePuniak\nSprings, Florida, he transformed his paper route with a fleet of old bicycles that he\nrepaired and then provided as an incentive to other boys, who ran additional routes\nunder his direction. \nWhen the United States entered World War II, he felt he would be better off in the air\ninstead of on the ground, and so he tried to enlist. When the Army Air Corps refused\nhim for being underweight, he resolved the problem at a second interview by\nslumping down, and as a \"shorter\" man,\" fulfilled the USAAC's height and weight\nrequirements. Although he had not attended college, he passed the college\ngraduation exam (and won his bus fare back home in a dice game.) \nHe went through flight training at Americus, Georgia, and graduated with the Aviation\nCadet Class of 41-1. During one check ride, he was told to \"spin it\" even with the\nground rapidly approaching, he thought it proper for the check pilot to direct him to\nrecover. He suspected it might be a test to see if he would \"chicken out.\" At a very\nlow altitude the check pilot disproved this theory by grabbing the controls to recover, shouting \"Are you trying to kill us?\"  \nHe was assigned to the Curtiss P-36 \"Hawk,\" which he later referred to as the best he had ever flown. He also flew the Curtiss P-40, and eventually the new Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. After a tour in the Canal Zone and Ecuador, he was sent to Europe\nin 1943, in charge of the newly formed 351st Fighter Squadron under the group's command of Lt Colonel Glenn E. Duncan. When it came time to name his aircraft, a P-47 Thunderbolt, he chose \"Little Demon,\" a character from Al Capp's \"Lil\" Abner\" comic strip. \nHis squadron was part of the 353rd Fighter Group, and their responsibilities included escort and fighter sweep duties, ground support and dive-bombing. The only dive-bombing training the pilots had undergone had been stateside with the P-40, a completely different task. Having flown both airplanes, my father understood the problem and approached Colonel Duncan with some new theories. The two gentlemen devised a set of techniques that were used until the end of the war. They entered combat on August 12,1943. \nOn September 23,1943, Walter Beckham brought down his first enemy aircraft, a\nFocke-Wulf 190 near Nantes, France. Many of his subsequent victories were scored\nin doubles and in one case a triple. On October 10, 1943, on an escort mission to\nMunster, he destroyed three twin-engine German aircraft. The third hit depleted his\nammunition, and when another ME-110 came towards him \"...I turned sharply toward\nhim and he broke violently, evading my P-47 with empty guns.\" A growing number of\nswastikas joined the bright yellow \"Little Demon\" artwork under the canopy.\n \nHe was shot down on February 22,1944 while attacking parked FW 190s on a base\nat Ostheim, Germany. This was during \"Big Week,\" the all out attack against the\nGerman aircraft industry. At the time he was America's leading ace in the European\nTheatre with eighteen German air victories in six months of combat. He had flown 56\nmissions, although, with a mathematician's precision, he counted 5614. His lifetime\nfriend Claude Jenkins remembers seeing the news of his last mission in Time\nMagazine, with his quote to a wingmate: \"Take the boys home, George, I've been\nhit!\" \"... I was hit by something when I was still at 4-5,000 feet altitude - long before I began firing... Smoke is belching from my engine. But It still runs, I cut off the fuel - coasting - no help. Woods are northward, England is westward. I am in no trouble if my engine keeps running, and I ask my friends to proceed on home. I unfasten the seat and shoulder belts and run the canopy back. I'm hoping for the smoke to go\naway, while ready to bail out fast Where there's smoke there's fire? Whoever said\nthat is damned right...I'm down well under a thousand feet. There's no question\nabout what to do. Let's do it. I stand up in the seat and try to dive out of the left side of the cockpit I'm stuck! What the hell is holding me? Time to do a little thinking...I sit back down. I jam the stick forward with my right foot. Departing the cockpit as she plunges down I feel a bump, but it doesn't hurt. I make a Joke that I have \"ejected\" myself-this before ejection seats were invented!\"\n He spent the next 14 months in Stalag Luft III at Sagan, and at Moorsburg, where access to an elementary college physics book sparked his interest. On 29 April 1945 Patton's 14th Armored Division liberated him. After the war, he stayed in the newly formed US Air Force as a squadron commander of the first jet-equipped fighter group. He received a BS degree in physics from the University of Florida in 1949, and a MS in physics from Ohio State University in 1950. He attended graduate school at the University of Califomla, Berkeley, where he studied under Edward Teller and received his PhD in physics in 1962. \nWalter Beckham was the founding chief scientist of the Air Force Weapons\nLaboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base, near Albuquerque, New Mexico, and continued\nas chief scientist for six years. During this time, he nurtured a tradition of scientific excellence and mentored many young officer-scientists trying to resolve the scientific, political, and moral concerns inherent to nuclear weapons. His principal research interests centered on nuclear weapons and their effects, and later on survivability and vulnerability issues for nuclear weapons. \nHe retired from the Air Force as a colonel in 1969, and continued as a consultant at\nLawrence Livermore Laboratory, working on various defense-related strategic\nstudies. For his many services, he received the Distinguished Service Cross, the\nSilver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, and the Legion of Merit. \nAfter retirement he lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his wife Lorraine and two\nvery spoiled Shetland Sheepdogs. Throughout this time, he often received letters\nfrom Thunderbolt enthusiasts and World War II history buffs, which he always\nanswered. His airplane was painted by the aviation artist Robert St. Vincent \"High\nSpeed, Low Pass,\" and reproductions were printed (the original is on display at\nEdwards AFB.) When Ray Stutsman approached him about painting his own Thunderbolt as \"Little Demon\" he declined and suggested another pilot's aircraft. Mr. Stutsman persisted and my father then suggested a second comrade's plane. Mr. Stutsman remained firm, and my father conceded. In 1985, 44 years after his bail out over enemy territory, he took a ride in the jump seat of the aircraft. The first issue of Thunderbolt Enthusiasts International was dedicated to him. He never bragged about his achievements and often seemed bemused at the attention he received. \"Only do things now that you will be proud of later\" was the one piece of advice he gave his admirers.\nWalter Carl Beckham died of a heart attack on 31 May 1996 in Albuquerque, New\nMexico, and is survived by his wife Lorraine and daughter Melissa. \nVerbatim transcript source:\n \nBeckham, Melissa.

He was a war hero, a scientist, and a sentimental man who recited\nYeats. He possessed a clear code of honor, a marvelous sense of humour, and an\nenterprising and creative spirit. As a young boy during the Depression in DePuniak\nSprings, Florida, he transformed his paper route with a fleet of old bicycles that he\nrepaired and then provided as an incentive to other boys, who ran additional routes\nunder his direction. \nWhen the United States entered World War II, he felt he would be better off in the air\ninstead of on the ground, and so he tried to enlist. When the Army Air Corps refused\nhim for being underweight, he resolved the problem at a second interview by\nslumping down, and as a \"shorter\" man,\" fulfilled the USAAC's height and weight\nrequirements. Although he had not attended college, he passed the college\ngraduation exam (and won his bus fare back home in a dice game.) \nHe went through flight training at Americus, Georgia, and graduated with the Aviation\nCadet Class of 41-1. During one check ride, he was told to \"spin it\" even with the\nground rapidly approaching, he thought it proper for the check pilot to direct him to\nrecover. He suspected it might be a test to see if he would \"chicken out.\" At a very\nlow altitude the check pilot disproved this theory by grabbing the controls to recover, shouting \"Are you trying to kill us?\"  \nHe was assigned to the Curtiss P-36 \"Hawk,\" which he later referred to as the best he had ever flown. He also flew the Curtiss P-40, and eventually the new Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. After a tour in the Canal Zone and Ecuador, he was sent to Europe\nin 1943, in charge of the newly formed 351st Fighter Squadron under the group's command of Lt Colonel Glenn E. Duncan. When it came time to name his aircraft, a P-47 Thunderbolt, he chose \"Little Demon,\" a character from Al Capp's \"Lil\" Abner\" comic strip. \nHis squadron was part of the 353rd Fighter Group, and their responsibilities included escort and fighter sweep duties, ground support and dive-bombing. The only dive-bombing training the pilots had undergone had been stateside with the P-40, a completely different task. Having flown both airplanes, my father understood the problem and approached Colonel Duncan with some new theories. The two gentlemen devised a set of techniques that were used until the end of the war. They entered combat on August 12,1943. \nOn September 23,1943, Walter Beckham brought down his first enemy aircraft, a\nFocke-Wulf 190 near Nantes, France. Many of his subsequent victories were scored\nin doubles and in one case a triple. On October 10, 1943, on an escort mission to\nMunster, he destroyed three twin-engine German aircraft. The third hit depleted his\nammunition, and when another ME-110 came towards him \"...I turned sharply toward\nhim and he broke violently, evading my P-47 with empty guns.\" A growing number of\nswastikas joined the bright yellow \"Little Demon\" artwork under the canopy.\n \nHe was shot down on February 22,1944 while attacking parked FW 190s on a base\nat Ostheim, Germany. This was during \"Big Week,\" the all out attack against the\nGerman aircraft industry. At the time he was America's leading ace in the European\nTheatre with eighteen German air victories in six months of combat. He had flown 56\nmissions, although, with a mathematician's precision, he counted 5614. His lifetime\nfriend Claude Jenkins remembers seeing the news of his last mission in Time\nMagazine, with his quote to a wingmate: \"Take the boys home, George, I've been\nhit!\" \"... I was hit by something when I was still at 4-5,000 feet altitude - long before I began firing... Smoke is belching from my engine. But It still runs, I cut off the fuel - coasting - no help. Woods are northward, England is westward. I am in no trouble if my engine keeps running, and I ask my friends to proceed on home. I unfasten the seat and shoulder belts and run the canopy back. I'm hoping for the smoke to go\naway, while ready to bail out fast Where there's smoke there's fire? Whoever said\nthat is damned right...I'm down well under a thousand feet. There's no question\nabout what to do. Let's do it. I stand up in the seat and try to dive out of the left side of the cockpit I'm stuck! What the hell is holding me? Time to do a little thinking...I sit back down. I jam the stick forward with my right foot. Departing the cockpit as she plunges down I feel a bump, but it doesn't hurt. I make a Joke that I have \"ejected\" myself-this before ejection seats were invented!\"\n He spent the next 14 months in Stalag Luft III at Sagan, and at Moorsburg, where access to an elementary college physics book sparked his interest. On 29 April 1945 Patton's 14th Armored Division liberated him. After the war, he stayed in the newly formed US Air Force as a squadron commander of the first jet-equipped fighter group. He received a BS degree in physics from the University of Florida in 1949, and a MS in physics from Ohio State University in 1950. He attended graduate school at the University of Califomla, Berkeley, where he studied under Edward Teller and received his PhD in physics in 1962. \nWalter Beckham was the founding chief scientist of the Air Force Weapons\nLaboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base, near Albuquerque, New Mexico, and continued\nas chief scientist for six years. During this time, he nurtured a tradition of scientific excellence and mentored many young officer-scientists trying to resolve the scientific, political, and moral concerns inherent to nuclear weapons. His principal research interests centered on nuclear weapons and their effects, and later on survivability and vulnerability issues for nuclear weapons. \nHe retired from the Air Force as a colonel in 1969, and continued as a consultant at\nLawrence Livermore Laboratory, working on various defense-related strategic\nstudies. For his many services, he received the Distinguished Service Cross, the\nSilver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, and the Legion of Merit. \nAfter retirement he lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his wife Lorraine and two\nvery spoiled Shetland Sheepdogs. Throughout this time, he often received letters\nfrom Thunderbolt enthusiasts and World War II history buffs, which he always\nanswered. His airplane was painted by the aviation artist Robert St. Vincent \"High\nSpeed, Low Pass,\" and reproductions were printed (the original is on display at\nEdwards AFB.) When Ray Stutsman approached him about painting his own Thunderbolt as \"Little Demon\" he declined and suggested another pilot's aircraft. Mr. Stutsman persisted and my father then suggested a second comrade's plane. Mr. Stutsman remained firm, and my father conceded. In 1985, 44 years after his bail out over enemy territory, he took a ride in the jump seat of the aircraft. The first issue of Thunderbolt Enthusiasts International was dedicated to him. He never bragged about his achievements and often seemed bemused at the attention he received. \"Only do things now that you will be proud of later\" was the one piece of advice he gave his admirers.\nWalter Carl Beckham died of a heart attack on 31 May 1996 in Albuquerque, New\nMexico, and is survived by his wife Lorraine and daughter Melissa. \nVerbatim transcript source:\n \nBeckham, Melissa.

He was a war hero, a scientist, and a sentimental man who recited\nYeats. He possessed a clear code of honor, a marvelous sense of humour, and an\nenterprising and creative spirit. As a young boy during the Depression in DePuniak\nSprings, Florida, he transformed his paper route with a fleet of old bicycles that he\nrepaired and then provided as an incentive to other boys, who ran additional routes\nunder his direction. \nWhen the United States entered World War II, he felt he would be better off in the air\ninstead of on the ground, and so he tried to enlist. When the Army Air Corps refused\nhim for being underweight, he resolved the problem at a second interview by\nslumping down, and as a \"shorter\" man,\" fulfilled the USAAC's height and weight\nrequirements. Although he had not attended college, he passed the college\ngraduation exam (and won his bus fare back home in a dice game.) \nHe went through flight training at Americus, Georgia, and graduated with the Aviation\nCadet Class of 41-1. During one check ride, he was told to \"spin it\" even with the\nground rapidly approaching, he thought it proper for the check pilot to direct him to\nrecover. He suspected it might be a test to see if he would \"chicken out.\" At a very\nlow altitude the check pilot disproved this theory by grabbing the controls to recover, shouting \"Are you trying to kill us?\"  \nHe was assigned to the Curtiss P-36 \"Hawk,\" which he later referred to as the best he had ever flown. He also flew the Curtiss P-40, and eventually the new Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. After a tour in the Canal Zone and Ecuador, he was sent to Europe\nin 1943, in charge of the newly formed 351st Fighter Squadron under the group's command of Lt Colonel Glenn E. Duncan. When it came time to name his aircraft, a P-47 Thunderbolt, he chose \"Little Demon,\" a character from Al Capp's \"Lil\" Abner\" comic strip. \nHis squadron was part of the 353rd Fighter Group, and their responsibilities included escort and fighter sweep duties, ground support and dive-bombing. The only dive-bombing training the pilots had undergone had been stateside with the P-40, a completely different task. Having flown both airplanes, my father understood the problem and approached Colonel Duncan with some new theories. The two gentlemen devised a set of techniques that were used until the end of the war. They entered combat on August 12,1943. \nOn September 23,1943, Walter Beckham brought down his first enemy aircraft, a\nFocke-Wulf 190 near Nantes, France. Many of his subsequent victories were scored\nin doubles and in one case a triple. On October 10, 1943, on an escort mission to\nMunster, he destroyed three twin-engine German aircraft. The third hit depleted his\nammunition, and when another ME-110 came towards him \"...I turned sharply toward\nhim and he broke violently, evading my P-47 with empty guns.\" A growing number of\nswastikas joined the bright yellow \"Little Demon\" artwork under the canopy.\n \nHe was shot down on February 22,1944 while attacking parked FW 190s on a base\nat Ostheim, Germany. This was during \"Big Week,\" the all out attack against the\nGerman aircraft industry. At the time he was America's leading ace in the European\nTheatre with eighteen German air victories in six months of combat. He had flown 56\nmissions, although, with a mathematician's precision, he counted 5614. His lifetime\nfriend Claude Jenkins remembers seeing the news of his last mission in Time\nMagazine, with his quote to a wingmate: \"Take the boys home, George, I've been\nhit!\" \"... I was hit by something when I was still at 4-5,000 feet altitude - long before I began firing... Smoke is belching from my engine. But It still runs, I cut off the fuel - coasting - no help. Woods are northward, England is westward. I am in no trouble if my engine keeps running, and I ask my friends to proceed on home. I unfasten the seat and shoulder belts and run the canopy back. I'm hoping for the smoke to go\naway, while ready to bail out fast Where there's smoke there's fire? Whoever said\nthat is damned right...I'm down well under a thousand feet. There's no question\nabout what to do. Let's do it. I stand up in the seat and try to dive out of the left side of the cockpit I'm stuck! What the hell is holding me? Time to do a little thinking...I sit back down. I jam the stick forward with my right foot. Departing the cockpit as she plunges down I feel a bump, but it doesn't hurt. I make a Joke that I have \"ejected\" myself-this before ejection seats were invented!\"\n He spent the next 14 months in Stalag Luft III at Sagan, and at Moorsburg, where access to an elementary college physics book sparked his interest. On 29 April 1945 Patton's 14th Armored Division liberated him. After the war, he stayed in the newly formed US Air Force as a squadron commander of the first jet-equipped fighter group. He received a BS degree in physics from the University of Florida in 1949, and a MS in physics from Ohio State University in 1950. He attended graduate school at the University of Califomla, Berkeley, where he studied under Edward Teller and received his PhD in physics in 1962. \nWalter Beckham was the founding chief scientist of the Air Force Weapons\nLaboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base, near Albuquerque, New Mexico, and continued\nas chief scientist for six years. During this time, he nurtured a tradition of scientific excellence and mentored many young officer-scientists trying to resolve the scientific, political, and moral concerns inherent to nuclear weapons. His principal research interests centered on nuclear weapons and their effects, and later on survivability and vulnerability issues for nuclear weapons. \nHe retired from the Air Force as a colonel in 1969, and continued as a consultant at\nLawrence Livermore Laboratory, working on various defense-related strategic\nstudies. For his many services, he received the Distinguished Service Cross, the\nSilver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, and the Legion of Merit. \nAfter retirement he lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his wife Lorraine and two\nvery spoiled Shetland Sheepdogs. Throughout this time, he often received letters\nfrom Thunderbolt enthusiasts and World War II history buffs, which he always\nanswered. His airplane was painted by the aviation artist Robert St. Vincent \"High\nSpeed, Low Pass,\" and reproductions were printed (the original is on display at\nEdwards AFB.) When Ray Stutsman approached him about painting his own Thunderbolt as \"Little Demon\" he declined and suggested another pilot's aircraft.

One newsclipping is filed afterward.","Walter de la Mare was born on April 25, 1873, in the town of Charlton, in Kent, England. His parents were James Edward Delamare and Lucy Sophia Browning Delamare, of French and Scottish descent, respectively. He attended St. Paul's Cathedral Choir School in London. Upon graduation, he entered the workforce as an employee of Anglo-American (Standard) Oil. It was during his tenure there as a bookkeeper that he began to focus seriously on writing poetry and stories. He had, however, been writing since his high school days when he founded and edited the school magazine, \"The Choristers' Journal\". At the age of 22 he became a published author when the journal \"Sketch\" accepted his story \"Kismet\". His early poems and stories were seen also in \"The Cornhill\", \"The Pall Magazine\", \"The Pall Mall Gazette\", and \"Black and White\". He married Constance Elfrida Igpen at the age of 26. He enjoyed a long and happy life with her and their four children and eleven grandchildren. His first book of poetry, \"Songs of Childhood\" was published in 1902 under de la Mare's pseudonym, Walter Ramal. He soon began publishing under his given name with his next book and first novel, \"Henry Brocken\". By his mid 30's an annual pension awarded by the Asquith government allowed him to retire from his job at Standard Oil to devote himself entirely to writing. His life was fairly ordinary and to many, it would appear, lacking in adventure. However, so active was de la Mare's imagination that he undoubtedly had a great many adventures in that realm, which was to him just as real as anything else. He died at his home in Twickenham, Middlesex, England, on June 22, 1956.\nReputedly a very kind and gentle man, de la Mare was especially fond of children and animals. His vivid and active imagination allowed him to identify with children, and they reciprocated de la Mare's affection in their love of his work. Many of his admirers wrote letters to him telling him how much they enjoyed his poetry. He rather enjoyed replying to letters he received, whether they came from a child who liked \"Peacock Pie\" or one who objected to the rhyming scheme of one of his poems. De la Mare wrote on the subject of a child's imagination in his introduction to Poems for Children, \"whatever precisely a child may be, it is very unusual indeed for those who have become men to be able to remember precisely what it was to be one; to become, that is, in imagination, the children they actually once were.\"\nAlthough highly respected by fellow authors, Walter de la Mare's works have been generally misunderstood and underappreciated by both critics and the average reader. While his earlier children's poetry is fairly simple, it hints of more complex, highly imaginative offerings to come later in his career. De la Mare was praised by critics for his variety of meters and his youthful imagination. It was for this avid creativity that others labeled him an escapist and a dreamer. He was known for his tendency towards morbidity and his peculiar characters.

His parents were James Edward Delamare and Lucy Sophia Browning Delamare, of French and Scottish descent, respectively. He attended St. Paul's Cathedral Choir School in London. Upon graduation, he entered the workforce as an employee of Anglo-American (Standard) Oil. It was during his tenure there as a bookkeeper that he began to focus seriously on writing poetry and stories. He had, however, been writing since his high school days when he founded and edited the school magazine, \"The Choristers' Journal\". At the age of 22 he became a published author when the journal \"Sketch\" accepted his story \"Kismet\". His early poems and stories were seen also in \"The Cornhill\", \"The Pall Magazine\", \"The Pall Mall Gazette\", and \"Black and White\". He married Constance Elfrida Igpen at the age of 26. He enjoyed a long and happy life with her and their four children and eleven grandchildren. His first book of poetry, \"Songs of Childhood\" was published in 1902 under de la Mare's pseudonym, Walter Ramal. He soon began publishing under his given name with his next book and first novel, \"Henry Brocken\". By his mid 30's an annual pension awarded by the Asquith government allowed him to retire from his job at Standard Oil to devote himself entirely to writing. His life was fairly ordinary and to many, it would appear, lacking in adventure. However, so active was de la Mare's imagination that he undoubtedly had a great many adventures in that realm, which was to him just as real as anything else. He died at his home in Twickenham, Middlesex, England, on June 22, 1956.\nReputedly a very kind and gentle man, de la Mare was especially fond of children and animals. His vivid and active imagination allowed him to identify with children, and they reciprocated de la Mare's affection in their love of his work. Many of his admirers wrote letters to him telling him how much they enjoyed his poetry. He rather enjoyed replying to letters he received, whether they came from a child who liked \"Peacock Pie\" or one who objected to the rhyming scheme of one of his poems. De la Mare wrote on the subject of a child's imagination in his introduction to Poems for Children, \"whatever precisely a child may be, it is very unusual indeed for those who have become men to be able to remember precisely what it was to be one; to become, that is, in imagination, the children they actually once were.\"\nAlthough highly respected by fellow authors, Walter de la Mare's works have been generally misunderstood and underappreciated by both critics and the average reader. While his earlier children's poetry is fairly simple, it hints of more complex, highly imaginative offerings to come later in his career. De la Mare was praised by critics for his variety of meters and his youthful imagination. It was for this avid creativity that others labeled him an escapist and a dreamer. He was known for his tendency towards morbidity and his peculiar characters. This is reflected in his later works, which were dominated by fairly dark themes, including grief, aging, mortality, despair, and the transience of beauty. It has been noted that for de la Mare, the difference between reality and dreams is so nearly indiscernible that it might as well not exist.

His parents were James Edward Delamare and Lucy Sophia Browning Delamare, of French and Scottish descent, respectively. He attended St. Paul's Cathedral Choir School in London. Upon graduation, he entered the workforce as an employee of Anglo-American (Standard) Oil. It was during his tenure there as a bookkeeper that he began to focus seriously on writing poetry and stories. He had, however, been writing since his high school days when he founded and edited the school magazine, \"The Choristers' Journal\". At the age of 22 he became a published author when the journal \"Sketch\" accepted his story \"Kismet\". His early poems and stories were seen also in \"The Cornhill\", \"The Pall Magazine\", \"The Pall Mall Gazette\", and \"Black and White\". He married Constance Elfrida Igpen at the age of 26. He enjoyed a long and happy life with her and their four children and eleven grandchildren. His first book of poetry, \"Songs of Childhood\" was published in 1902 under de la Mare's pseudonym, Walter Ramal. He soon began publishing under his given name with his next book and first novel, \"Henry Brocken\". By his mid 30's an annual pension awarded by the Asquith government allowed him to retire from his job at Standard Oil to devote himself entirely to writing. His life was fairly ordinary and to many, it would appear, lacking in adventure. However, so active was de la Mare's imagination that he undoubtedly had a great many adventures in that realm, which was to him just as real as anything else. He died at his home in Twickenham, Middlesex, England, on June 22, 1956.\nReputedly a very kind and gentle man, de la Mare was especially fond of children and animals. His vivid and active imagination allowed him to identify with children, and they reciprocated de la Mare's affection in their love of his work. Many of his admirers wrote letters to him telling him how much they enjoyed his poetry. He rather enjoyed replying to letters he received, whether they came from a child who liked \"Peacock Pie\" or one who objected to the rhyming scheme of one of his poems. De la Mare wrote on the subject of a child's imagination in his introduction to Poems for Children, \"whatever precisely a child may be, it is very unusual indeed for those who have become men to be able to remember precisely what it was to be one; to become, that is, in imagination, the children they actually once were.\"\nAlthough highly respected by fellow authors, Walter de la Mare's works have been generally misunderstood and underappreciated by both critics and the average reader. While his earlier children's poetry is fairly simple, it hints of more complex, highly imaginative offerings to come later in his career. De la Mare was praised by critics for his variety of meters and his youthful imagination. It was for this avid creativity that others labeled him an escapist and a dreamer. He was known for his tendency towards morbidity and his peculiar characters. This is reflected in his later works, which were dominated by fairly dark themes, including grief, aging, mortality, despair, and the transience of beauty. It has been noted that for de la Mare, the difference between reality and dreams is so nearly indiscernible that it might as well not exist. People who only know of his children's poetry have missed the real de la Mare, who was a highly intelligent man with a melancholy soul.\nBest known as a lyric poet and children's author, childhood remained one of his major themes throughout his life. However, de la Mare was highly prolific, and comfortable in many genres. An accomplished author, de la Mare wrote poetry, novels, short stories, critiques, essays, anthologies, and plays. He received many awards for his writing, including the Polignac prize, Royal Society of Literature, 1911; the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction, 1922, for Memoirs of a Midget; the Carnegie Medal, American Library Association, 1947, for Collected Stories for Children; the Companion of Honour, 1948; the Order of Merit, 1953; the Foyle Poetry prize, 1954; and honorary degrees from several universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, St. Andrews, Bristol, and London."],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe letters in this collection were originally owned by the recipient, Lucy \"Clare\" Kipps.\u003c/p\u003e"],"custodhist_heading_ssm":["Custodial History"],"custodhist_tesim":["The letters in this collection were originally owned by the recipient, Lucy \"Clare\" Kipps."],"originalsloc_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePortions of collection available online?: No\u003c/p\u003e"],"originalsloc_heading_ssm":["Existence and Location of Originals"],"originalsloc_tesim":["Portions of collection available online?: No"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eWalter de la Mare Correspondence, Special Collections \u0026amp; Archives, Florida State University Libraries, Tallahassee, Florida. https://purl.lib.fsu.edu/fa/MSS-2007-005\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Walter de la Mare Correspondence, Special Collections \u0026 Archives, Florida State University Libraries, Tallahassee, Florida. https://purl.lib.fsu.edu/fa/MSS-2007-005"],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection was processed in May of 2007 by Ginger H.
