This collection contains drafts of articles, magazine columns, and books by the humorist Patrick F. McManus, circa 1950s-2016. It also includes final published copies of his writings and correspondence with publishers and fans as well as reviews, undergraduate and graduate class papers and video and audio recordings featuring interviews and readings of McManus' writings.
Patrick F. McManus (1933-2018) grew up near Sand Creek outside Sandpoint, Idaho. He spent a great deal of his childhood outdoors, exploring the nearby creek and mountains--subject matter for the dozens of magazine columns and stories that he would later write. McManus graduated from Sandpoint High School in 1952 and proceeded to complete a journalism degree at Washington State College in 1956. He worked briefly as a police reporter before returning to Washington State College to complete a master's degree in 1959. In 1960, he began teaching English, creative writing, and journalism courses at Eastern Washington State College, where he remained until his retirement in 1983. In 2013, Eastern Washington University chose him for its Distinguished Faculty Award. As professor emeritus, he continued to support the university via the McManus Scholarship in Creative Writing and Journalism. In 2018, he passed away in Spokane, Washington, survived by his wife Darlene and four daughters.
Over the course of his career, McManus established himself as a humor writer for a range of magazines and newspapers. From 1982 to 2009, he wrote a monthly humor column called the "Last Laugh" for
Outdoor Life. He also served as the publication's editor-at-large. In addition, he served as columnist and associate editor for Field and Stream from 1977 to 1982, and published essays in Reader's Digest, Sports Illustrated, and the New York Times, among others.
McManus published fourteen collections of his humor columns, beginning with
A Fine and Pleasant Misery in 1978 and ending with The Horse in My Garage and Other Stories in 2012. He also wrote a series of mystery novels starring Sheriff Bo Tully of Blight, Idaho. In addition, he wrote a book on humor writing (The Deer on a Bicycle) and a cookbook in collaboration with his sister (Whatchagot Stew). McManus' books often emerged as best-sellers. In total, some six million copies sold over the course of his career. Parts of McManus' work were converted for the stage by a former student, Tim Behrens, who began touring his McManus shows in 1992. As of 2019, these shows continue to tour regularly.
This collection consists of 52 boxes containing drafts of Patrick F. McManus' writings and correspondence with publishers and fans, circa 1950s-2016, as well as final published copies of his work, copies of class papers and notes, reviews and publications about his work, and audio and video recordings featuring interviews with the author and readings of his work.
This collection is open and available for research use.
Patrick and Darlene McManus donated this collection to the Washington State University Libraries in multiple installments beginning in 1979 (MS.1979.09, MS.1987.28, MS.2005.20, MS.2012.13, MS.2016.11).
