Scope and Contents
George Bird Evans wrote two books to honor the conservationist and author Nash Buckingham by focusing on Buckingham's own material, including "The Best of Nash Buckingham" and "Dear John . . . Nash Buckingham's Letters to John Bailey". The collection has one copy of the manuscript of "The Best of Nash Buckingham" and two copies of the manuscript for 'Dear John. . . Nash Buckingham's Letters to John Bailey". Evans used, among other sources, the extensive correspondence of Nash Buckingham for both books. The letters are included in the collection. There is also correspondence with Buckingham's family and friends relating facts and anecdotes regarding Nash Buckingham; photographs of Nash Buckingham; and ephemera, including programs from the Hunting Hall of Fame ceremony honoring Nash Buckingham as a 1974 inductee.
