» Dick (John Henry) manuscripts, circa 1927-1990

The manuscript writings are primarily texts which Dick wrote or which were written by others for books he illustrated. While travelling, he generally made notes to write from later, and soon after most of his major trips, he prepared newspaper articles for the News & Courier or Charleston Evening Post. The bulk of his drafts were made for these articles published prior to 1979. The principal texts by other writers are a comprehensive draft for a book on the birds of India by Ben F. King, who initiated the project, and the text of Carolina Low Country Impressions by Sprunt.
