Mss 127 Johnson, Dorothy Marie, 1905-1984 Dorothy M. Johnson Papers 1844-1984 67.5 linear feet Dorothy Johnson was a Montana writer known for her Western fiction. The primary focus of the collection is Johnson's literary career, but it also includes personal correspondence, financial records, speeches, photographs, and some limited works from other authors. Materials are in English Biographical Note

Dorothy Marie Johnson was born in McGregor, Iowa, on December 19, 1905. Her family moved to Great Falls, Montana, in 1909, and to Whitefish, Montana, in 1913. Johnson graduated from Whitefish High School in 1922, enrolled that fall at Montana State University in Bozeman and transferred to The University of Montana in Missoula the following year. There, she studied creative writing under H.G. Merriam, one of the university's legendary professors. She was married briefly to George W. Peterkin.

After graduation in 1928, she found work as a stenographer in an Okanogan, Washington, department store. After working another stenographer position in Menasha, Wisconsin, she spent fifteen years as a magazine editor in New York City at Gregg Publishing Company and Farrell Publishing Corporation. After moving back to Montana, she was news editor of the Whitefish Pilot from 1950-1953. Following that, she returned to Missoula in 1953, where she was the secretary-manager of the Montana Press Association and taught part-time at the University of Montana's School of Journalism (at that time, called Montana State University). Johnson retired from both her teaching and her Press Association jobs in 1967 because of poor health.

She wrote sixteen books, beginning with Beulah Bunny Tells All in 1941 and ending with All the Buffalo Returning in 1979. Her subjects include Native Americans (Sitting Bull: Warrior for a Lost Nation; Buffalo Woman; All the Buffalo Returning); stories for children (Farewell to Troy; Greece--Wonderland of the Past and Present); and history (Famous Lawmen of the Old West; Some Went West; Flame on the Frontier; Western Bad Men; Montana; The Bloody Bozeman). She also co-authored The Bedside Book of Bastards with Robert Turner, a professor of history at The University of Montana. She is perhaps best known for her three short stories made into movies: "The Hanging Tree," "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," and "A Man Called Horse." Her short stories were widely anthologized in textbooks and other collections. Johnson was also a frequent writer of letters to the editor of the Missoulian; some of her letters influenced managerial decisions in Missoula city government.

Johnson received numerous awards, including the Western Heritage Wrangler Award, 1978; The Golden Saddleman Award, 1976; an honorary doctorate from The University of Montana, 1973; a University of Montana Distinguished Service Award, 1961; and Montana's Outstanding Professional Woman of the Year, 1952. She died November 11, 1984 in Missoula.

The main portion of the collection came from Johnson in numerous sections, through the Friends of the Library, an organization in which she was active, at The University of Montana--Missoula. The first section, the manuscripts for The Last Boat, The Most Wonderful Time/Elk Tooth Dress, A Time of Greatness, The Man Who Could Not Dream, and Flame on the Frontier, arrived in May 1963. The manuscript and page proofs for Some Went West followed in May 1965. In 1971, the Mansfield Library Archives and Special Collection received the manuscripts for Montana, and Western Bad Men. Johnson added the manuscript of Christmas Celebrations in the West in 1972, and the manuscripts of fourteen short stories and five books followed in 1974. She added to the collection in 1975, 1976 and 1979, including the manuscripts of All the Buffalo Returning and Beulah Bunny Tells All. Johnson added correspondence, the manuscripts for Sitting Bull, Western Lawmen, her Charlie Russell book and some articles later in 1979. After her death in 1984, her will named the Mansfield Library Archives and Special Collections as recipient of her remaining books and papers. Correspondents Ward Powell and Lydia Maury Skeels also donated letters written to them by Johnson. In 1997, Manuscript materials for The Bloody Bozeman, formerly placed at Montana State University by Johnson, were transferred to the Mansfield Library Archives and Special Collections. The University of Montana's School of Journalism also transferred some of Johnson's correspondence and clippings in 2007.

Gifts of Dorothy M. Johnson, 1963-1979, Dorothy M. Johnson Estate, 1984, Nancy Hubble, 1985 and 1987, Ward Powell, 1988 and 1995, Lydia Maury, 1989, and Montana State University--Bozeman, 1997.

The collection was originally processed as four separate entities. In 1997, these four entities were combined into one collection, with substantial revisions to the arrangement of manuscripts. In 2003, photographs and photograph albums that were accessioned in 1995 were integrated into the collection. In 2024, correspondence, mostly to a Kathryn Wright, and clippings transferred from the University of Montana School of Journalism were added to the collection.

Dorothy Johnson's collection of books is not physically housed with the manuscript collection, though the titles are listed in Series XII. In addition, a few pieces of correspondence sent with the manuscripts and addressed to the library were removed to collection control files.

This series includes a folder of biographical sketches, Who's Who profiles with Johnson's corrections, and introductions read for speeches. More notable are the two folders labeled "Dreams" and "Keepsakes." The first contains undated manuscript notes and drawings relating to Johnson's dreams that may be notes for an early story. The second is a gathering of personal mementos apparently assembled by Johnson. It includes pieces of correspondence with notable individuals, including The Writer's War Board (Rex Stout), members of her family (who often address her by her middle name, Marie), early newspaper clippings about her, H.G. Merriam, J. Hugo Aronson (then governor of Montana), some fan mail, H.K. Newburn (then president of the University of Montan), and the dean of the Journalism School. There are materials from her membership in Beta Sigma Phi, the sorority to which she belonged at The University of Montana. There are also assorted programs from weddings and funerals, holiday cards and drawings, and a small address book that appears to have belonged to her mother.

 1/1 General Biographical 1965-1981 and undated 1/2 Dreams undated 1/3 Keepsakes undated Series II Correspondence 1940-1984 4.5 linear feet

This series contains a mix of incoming and some outgoing personal and business correspondence, with a small amount of financial correspondence. There is correspondence with fellow writers and literary scholars. There is also fan mail, letters from genealogy researchers and photographers, some of Johnson's letters to the editor of the Missoulian, and a selection of her Christmas letters. Correspondence filed under a work's name is a mix of research and contact with the book stories editor or publisher, or her agent. There are also letters about the film productions of some of her books. Some of this type of correspondence is also mixed in with the manuscripts in Series VI and VII and with the research files in Series VIII. Notable correspondents include Andre Deutsch, A.B. Guthrie, and Bronsan G. Stevenson. Materials are arranged alphabetically by the name of correspondent or by subject assigned by Johnson. Johnson's correspondence to Kathryn Wright was added to the collection in 2024.

This series consists of the research notes, associated correspondence, drafts, publisher's typescripts, carbons, and galley proofs of Johnson's books. Most are heavily annotated and give a good idea of the writing and editorial process.

The series is arranged alphabetically by book title; within each book, materials are largely in the order of production--from notes to galley proofs--but largely retain Johnson's arrangement.

One unpublished book manuscript is permanently closed at Johnson's request.

 Series VIII Research undated 5.0 linear feet

This series includes notes, articles, publications, and clippings that Johnson generated and gathered in the course of her research for numerous projects. Particularly strong subjects include Native Americans, Montana history, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

The materials are largely retained in Johnson's alphabetical subject arrangement. Materials gathered in her research for The Bloody Bozeman are under that title, but other book research projects may be considerably more scattered.

This series includes mostly courtesy copies of Johnson's works or of works including her stories and essays, but also contains books personally owned by her, used in her research. Many are annotated in her hand. There are a number of translations of her books into Italian, Spanish, German, and Indonesian. A card file that appears to be a record of the books in her personal library, many of which were not retained in this series.

The books containing her works include limited first editions and a great number of primary school textbook anthologies. Books owned by her include obvious research interests (classics, west) as well as books inscribed to her by others, given as family gifts, or apparently handed down through her family.

The series is divided into three subseries: About and By Johnson; Johnson's writings in Collections or Anthologies; and Annotated Reference Books. Within each category, materials are arranged alphabetically by title or author.
