Manuscript Files for David Lavender's Book Reviews for the Radio Production of "Book Parade" 1955-1957 Six files of manuscript material including original and carbon copies plus printed scripts for the radio production of "Book Parade". Material generally in very good condition. Fun collection of six book reviews plus correspondence for the radio production "Book Parade" produced by Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) in the 1950's. Five reviews written by David Lavender plus a review of Lavender's book "Bent's Fort", written by Don Tracy. "Book Review" was directed by Russell Sanjek, long-time executive at BMI. Sanjek was a noted historian of popular music and author of a three-volume history on popular music published in 1988 by Oxford University Press. David Lavender was a prolific chronicler of the American West, authoring more than 40 books. Lavender was a two-time nominee for the Pulitzer Prize and was loved by scholars for his accuracy and objectivity but primarily wrote for a non-academic audience. Books reviewed include "Travels of Jaimie McPheeters" by Robert Lewis Taylor, "Bent's Fort" by David Lavender, "The Columbia" by Stewart H. Holbrook, "New Found World" from Harold Lamb, "Background to Glory" written by John Bakeless and "Massacre: The Tragedy at White River" by Marshall Sprague. Archive includes Lavender's typed letters signed and typed book reviews, printed scripts on BMI letterhead and carbon copies of letters from Russell Sanjek. All told, a nice little collection from a place and time when books and book reviews garnered wide support within the media.
