 Biography of Emerson Hough

Emerson Hough was a writer best known for his western stories, including "Story of the Cowboy" (1897), "Covered Wagon" (1922), and "North of Thirty-Six" (1923). Hough also wrote screenplays for "Covered Wagon" and "North of Thirty-Six," which became successful silent films. He wrote articles with an outdoors theme for popular periodicals like "Field and Stream" and "Saturday Evening Post." He was also active in the effort to preserve western wildlife and campaigned to protect the bison of Yellowstone National Park. Hough was born June 28, 1857, married Charlotte Chesebro in 1897, and died on April 30, 1923.

The Emerson Hough papers include manuscripts, magazine clippings of Hough's works, as well as copies of his books, and correspondence (1892-1965). In addition there are publicity materials for Hough's books and lectures, as well as photographs and legal documents. Hough's friend, naturalist Wayne Replogle, helped to settle his estate, and there are later letters and documents reflecting Replogle's continuing contact with Hough's widow regarding business matters.

There are no access restrictions on the materials for research purposes, and the collection is open to the public.
