14 vols., large 4to., ca. 29 cm (tall) x 22 cm (wide) x 36 cm (linear), mostly in 3-hole side-stiched black leatherette covers, preserved in very good condition. Large and interesting literary archive of typescript stories and novels by "El Comancho," a popular author who specialized in stories of Native American lore and folktales, the American West and Western Expansion, the Pacific Northwest, Hunting and Fishing, and much more. Includes typescripts of "Three Boys in the Hills" and many stories published in "Outdoor Life," often with corrections and annotations (SEE FINDING AID BELOW). This appears to be the only substantial collection of "El Comancho" manuscripts in private hands. The archive, which is preserved in excellent condition, easily contains more than 3,000 typescript leaves. Some of the works appear to be unpublished. Walter Shelley Phillips (1867-1940), also known as "El Comancho," was a self-educated and self-trained naturalist, geologist, newspaper reporter, free-lance writer and author of numerous books. In his early life, Phillips became familiar with the Sioux, Blackfeet, and Crow Indians, devoting himself to recording Indian life and lore. All of the tribes he encountered welcomed him and referred to him as some variation of "Lone Man." As a child, he spent much of his time with the Otoes and often lived for weeks at a time with the tribe's chief and the chief's family in their lodge and accompanied them on buffalo hunts. Phillips was given the name "Comanche" by Chief High Horse of the Sioux Tribe. He began writing about outdoor life and his experiences in the West around 1887 and worked for midwestern newspapers as a cartoonist and journalist. In 1891 he worked for the Press, Telegraph, and Post-Intelligencer in Seattle. Phillips became a founding member of the Washington State Game and Fish Protective Association; in 1904 he began Pacific Sportsman magazine which became Outdoor Life in 1907. Phillips wrote thousands of articles on outdoor life, lore, and his own personal experiences growing up in the age of covered wagons, cowboys, and western expansion, including the syndicated newspaper features "Teepee Tales" and "Sign Talk." He also wrote books and illustrated his own and others' from the 1890s to 1920s, including juvenile works, Indian legends, and more.
