Biographical Note
A San Francisco native, Myrtle Gaylord worked for the
Spokane Press until it
ceased publication in 1938. She then wrote a popular daily column in the
Spokesman-Review entitled “Glimpses,” which included her local profiles,
humorous anecdotes, and folksy stories.
The collection contains manuscripts of an unpublished novel,
The Banyon
Tree, manuscripts of poetry, her diary, and a few personal letters. The bulk of the
collection consists of clippings of her daily columns pasted into books, 1941-1959. There
are also some manuscripts of the columns. Her diary, which was not kept with any great
regularity, is deeply introspective.
Collection is not restricted.
