Notes:

The Moisant Family -- John, Alfred and Matilde -- helped spark America's early interest in aviation. John Moisant (1868-1910) trained at the Bleriot School in France and made the first successful cross-country passenger-carrying flight from Paris to London in 1910. That fall he competed in the Gordon-Bennett Trophy Races but was killed in December while flying an exhibition in New Orleans, LA. His brother Alfred was president of the Moisant Aviation School and of the Hempstead Plains Aviation Company, 1911. Alfred also organized the Moisant International Aviators, Inc., which embarked upon a series of flight exhibitions in the United States and Mexico, 1911-1912. The Moisants' sister, Matilde (1887-1964), joined the family's exhibition tour and was the second American woman to become a licensed pilot. Matilde established two altitude records before giving up exhibition flying in 1912

Summary:

This collection consists of three oversized scrapbooks containing newspaper accounts of the Moisants' flying escapades, as well as press releases and writings. The articles also discuss the following aviators who were involved with the Moisants: Harriet Quimby, Roland Garros, Rene Barrier, Rene Simon, John J. Frisbie, Charles Hamilton, and S. S. Jerwan

Notes:

Joe Louis's manager, Julian Black, assembled these scrapbooks. Louis was heavyweight boxing champion of the world, 1937-1949. John Roxborough had encouraged Louis all along his career and became his manager when Joe turned pro. Roxborough hired Jack Blackburn, a boxer himself, to coach and train the young Louis, and teamed up with Julian Black of Chicago in a business venture which carried over into the management of Joe Louis. In his thirty-sixth professional fight, June 22, 1937, Louis won the heavyweight crown at 23 by defeating James J. Braddock in Chicago in eight rounds. He defended his title twenty times before World War II interrupted his career. He defended his title more times than any man in history

Summary:

Scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings from all over America, 1935-1941, and articles from "Ring" magazine. Collection documents most Joe Louis fights of the period. Clippings identified by source, date, and author, artist, or photographer; include full-length articles and brief sketches, cartoons, photographs, and records and statistics on boxers. While the scrapbooks are about the Louis fights, there is much material on others connected with boxing in this period--including all of Louis's opponents, trainer, managers, promoter, Mike Jacobs; and most of the sports reporters and writers of the time. Many important figures in boxing of this period are represented in these volumes

Two sets of scrapbooks with different numbering systems: Series 1, Vols. 1-92; and Series 2, Vols. 17-20, 52-58, 61-63, and 71 & 72. Some volumes from the two sets contain the same information. For example, Louis Vol. 17 is similar to Black Vol. 27

James H. Doolittle's (1896-1993) piloting career spanned military aviation history and his professional contributions to the aviation field, especially in the area of instrument flying, made a lasting impact. Doolittle became an Army aviator in 1917 and received a Doctor of Science in Aeronautical Engineering degree from MIT in 1925. During the 1920s and 1930s, Doolittle won many speed, cross-country and transcontinental records and trophies and is often referred to as the "Father of Instrument Flying," because he demonstrated "instrument only flight" in 1929. He left the military in 1930 to become manager of Shell Oil Company's aviation department, but returned to the Army during World War II. During World War II, Doolittle led the first raid on the Japanese mainland in 1942, and was later promoted to the commander of the 12th, 15th, and 8th Air Forces. He returned to civilian life in 1946 and served as a trustee of aviation and space companies and as a member of numerous organizational and government boards, panels, and committees

Summary:

This collection includes twelve photograph albums and loose photographs covering Doolittle's varied aviation career

Notes:

The Sioux City Ghosts were an all-black fast-pitch softball team that toured the country in the 1920s and 1930s. For their pranks and antics on the field, they were often compared to basketball's Harlem Globetrotters. The team formed in 1925 as a boys' club which gathered to play softball. In 1931 they began touring. They gained a reputation and quickly drew large crowds. The team also played in Mexico and Canada. The team disbanded when World War II began, and many members served in the armed forces. After the war, few members rejoined, but the team kept going unti 1956

Summary:

A scrapbook and a photograph album detailing the day-to-day lives on the road of a barnstorming black softball team, five posters advertising appearances of the Ghosts, and a certificate. The scrapbook, kept by one of the players, Franklin Williams, contains his handwritten history of the team, a handwritten schedule, postcards from some of the cities they played in, greeting cards, restaurant menus, scorecards, and a large number of news clippings about games. The album contains photographs of the Ghosts playing, snapshots of cities they visited, street scenes, ballparks, families and friends, and tourist attractions

Microfilm No. 935n

Notes:

Mexican Border Veterans (MBV), Inc., is a civilian association founded by Clairice A.G. Closson of Independence, Missouri, in 1929. Closson was a participant in the Mexican Border affair of mid-1916. The association consists of men who patrolled the Mexican-American border between May 9, 1916 and April 1917. Their presence on the border was a response to President Woodrow Wilson's call on the National Guard and the Army in mid-1916 to guard the border which had been repeatedly invaded by Francisco (Pancho) Villa, a Mexican revolutionary leader who carried out his incursions against residents of southern Texas. The MBV was formed by ex-Mexican-American border veterans to seek and receive recognition and veterans' benefits

Summary:

Three scrapbooks, each containing a random arrangement of MBV annual reports, convention minutes, samples of the MBV newletter, "The Bugler", photographs of various officers and members of the association and their spouses, brochures of the association's conventions, brief historical sketches of the association, some biographical sketches of the founders of the association, clippings from unidentified newspapers, limited correspondence between national, state or regional MBV officials, and other miscellaneous correspondence
