Miles (1916- ), author, secondary teacher, newspaper man and public relations director, has been concerned primarily in developing a philosophy which would lead to a revival of political conservatism. This is reflected in his papers, which largely consist of correspondence. The collection contains discussions and solicitations of advertisements for Miles' book Challenge of Conservatism, co-authored with Paul Sexson. In addition one can find information about articles written by Miles and plans for upcoming books.
