Cecil Dryden Papers, 1934-1973

This series consists of typescript drafts of Pettigrew's Pocket, Old Jabal's Lily Flower, Fight No More (Chapter 9 from The Clearwater of Idaho), and a typescript journal of a tour of Great Britain and mainland Europe.

This series contains royalty statements, personal income information, and Davenport Hotel bonds owned by Dryden. The Davenport Hotel file also contains information about the hotel's bankruptcy in 1973.

This series contains clippings from the Spokesman Review about the United States' entry into World War II, a copy of Horizons of Hope, and a journal containing typed and handwritten copies of poems, prose, and quotations.

This collection consists of photographs and postcards belonging to Cecil Dryden, which were then donated to Eastern Washington University. The photographs consist of varying Indian tribes in the Pacific Northwest, including different members and practices used by these tribes from 1855 to 1970. The tribes range within the Pacific Northwest, such as the Upper Columbia, Walla Walla, Coeur D'Alene, Colville, Okanogan, Nez Perce, San Poil, Shahaptin, Spokane, Umatilla, and Yakima tribes. The postcards are of some of the members of the Nez Perce tribe in 1970 at a 4th of July celebration in 1970, and of Sam Tilden, another member of the Nez Perce tribe, nephew to Chief Joseph, standing in the full regalia of his tribe the Nez Perce in 1970.
