Strom Thurmond Collection, About Series
Series
Identifier: Mss-0100-01
Strom Thurmond created the "About Series" early in his career and added to it sporadically over the years. The series contains material too lengthy to be placed in the Scrapbooks, although there is a small amount of duplication. The articles are especially rich in historical and biographical information about most aspects of Thurmond's career. Besides covering his career, some of the articles deal with various issues such as the States' Rights Movement and the Panama Canal situation. Furthermore, there are some articles concerning Charles "Pug" Ravenel when he ran against Thurmond in 1978. The series also contains articles about Thurmond's two wives, Jean and Nancy. For further information on his two wives refer to the Jean Crouch Thurmond series and the Nancy Thurmond series.
