Scope and Contents

From the Series:

There are four manuscripts of books by Hughes in the collection, only one of which was published. Prejudice and the Press (New York: Devin-Adair, 1950) was written in response to the Hutchins-Luce Committee report on freedom of the press released in 1947. Boxes 24 to 27 contain his notes, source materials, correspondence, memos, various drafts and rewrites -- the whole story of this Frank Hughes/Chicago Tribune venture. Drafts of The Creed of an American (based on McCormick's speeches), A Short History of Freedom of the Press, and The Chetnik Odyssey are included here, along with correspondence and memos relating to the progress of these unpublished works.
