Series 3: Manuscripts Authored by Thomas Dixon Jr.

 

Subseries A contains a partial manuscript of Dixon’s autobiography, The Story of a Minister’s Son. The manuscript notes that this is a “First Writing – to be revised and corrected.” Chapters included in the manuscript are Chapter 1 – Conceived in Sin, Chapter 15 – I Get Religion, Chapter 16 – The Night Watch, Chapter 18 – My First Love, Chapter 31 – I Stumble Into Paradise, and Chapter XXXII – I Build a Boat. Some chapters are partial while others are completed with editing notations. A version of the manuscript was later published after Dixon’s death as Southern Horizons. There are differences in chapter sequencing and written content between the first writing and Southern Horizons.

Subseries B contains the softbound play manuscript of The Traitor: A Dramatic Sequel to The Birth of a Nation. The volume is a 145 page, unpublished manuscript with penciled editing marks. Thomas Dixon’s New York telephone number is handwritten on the inside cover page. Subseries C contains a typed, partial draft of Dixon’s novel The Flaming Sword (Volume 2 and 3). The hard-bound volumes contain penciled editing marks and notations.

Subseries C has not been digitized and is available for research in-house at the John R. Dover Memorial Library University Archives.
