BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Lester Bernard Dent was born in La Plata, Missouri, in 1904. For most of his childhood he lived in Oklahoma and on a Wyoming cattle ranch operated by his parents, Bernard and Alice Dent. The Dent family returned to La Plata about 1918, and Lester graduated from La Plata High School in 1923. Following high school he attended Chillicothe Business College, where he learned telegraphy. Afterwards Dent worked as a telegraph operator for a number of newspapers and news wire services in Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma.

In 1925 Lester Dent married Norma Gerling of Carrollton, Missouri. Dent began writing his first fiction stories for pulp magazines while working as a telegraph operator for the Tulsa (Oklahoma) World. Following thirteen rejections Dent's fourteenth story, "A Pirate Cay," was published in Top-Notch Magazine in September 1929. In January 1931 Lester and Norma Dent moved to New York City, where Lester began writing detective and adventure stories for Dell Publishing Company

Largely because of his fast-paced style of writing and his knowledge of scientific gadgets and investigative methods, Dent was contracted by the publishing company of Street and Smith in 1932 to begin writing the lead stories for their new Doc Savage magazine. Dent was connected with Doc Savage magazine from its first issue in March of 1933 until its demise in 1949--writing over 150 of the 182 book-length stories personally and revising many of those produced by other ghost writers. Doc Savage remains Dent's most famous and enduring fictional character; however, he is not often associated with the stories since they appeared under the Street and Smith house name of Kenneth Robeson.

In addition to the Doc Savage stories, Dent wrote hundreds of western, air-war, detective, and mystery stories during his career. A number of Dent's stories were published under his own name, but most appeared under various pseudonyms and house names. These included H.O. Cash, Harmon Cash, Tim Ryan, Cliff Howe, Maxwell Grant, C.K.M. Scanlon, and Kenneth Roberts

Lester Dent drew upon a wide variety of personal experiences as the background or inspiration for many of his stories. During the 1930s and 1940s, he explored Indian cliff dwellings and prospected for gold in Mexico and the southwestern United States. The Dents also lived aboard their schooner, the Albatross, for several years and led a number of treasure-hunting expeditions in the waters of the Caribbean. In 1940 the Dents returned to La Plata to manage the Dent family dairy farm. From 1949 to 1953, Lester Dent combined his hobbies of photography and flying into Airviews Inc., an aerial photography company headquartered in La Plata. Dent was also a ham radio operator; during the 1950s he served as the La Plata civil defense director. He was also involved with the La Plata commerce club and the Adair County dairy association. Lester Dent died in 1959.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

This collection is divided into nine series:

The Correspondence series contains the personal and professional letters of Lester Dent and dates from 1924 to 1984, with the bulk from the mid-1930s through the 1950s, arranged chronologically. The majority of the letters pertain to Lester Dent's writing career. A large part of the correspondence is with editor John Nanovic of Street and Smith Publishing Company and Dent's literary agent, Willis Kinglsey Wing. Other correspondents include numerous publishing companies, the ghost writers of the Doc Savage stories, and Street and Smith editors Charles Moran, William J. DeGrouchy, Babette Rosmond, and Daisy Bacon. A number of the letters include story outlines, plot ideas, revisions, and mention of story titles not found elsewhere in the collection. Also included is information about Dent, the pulp magazine industry, Airviews, Inc., and La Plata, Missouri. Correspondence after 1959 consists of fan mail and letters received by Norma Dent.

The Manuscripts series, which comprises the bulk of the collection, is divided into three sections. The first section contains manuscripts for the Doc Savage stories and scripts for the Doc Savage radio program of the 1930s. The manuscripts have been arranged in chronological order according to the date of publication. Extant outlines, synopses, and plot notes precede the manuscript for each individual story. Revisions follow the manuscript. Unidentified and unused plots, outlines, and manuscript pages follow the final story. Manuscripts for which there is not extant copy have been noted as not received. Alternate story titles which appear on the manuscripts have been enclosed in parentheses following the published title. Targets used to identify missing pages during microfilming have been left in the collection. The radio scripts have been arranged in numerical order according to how the copies were numbered by Lester Dent.

The second section of the manuscripts series contains copies of published stories which are not related to Doc Savage. They are arranged in chronological order according to the date of publication. Individual stories are arranged with outlines and synopses preceding the manuscript and revisions following. A number of the earlier stories were received in envelopes which contained publication information such as the date the story was written and submitted, the names of the magazines to which the story was submitted, the dates it was returned or accepted, and the price received for publication. These envelopes are filed before outlines and synopses. Where there is more than one version or copy of an individual story, the processor has not made an attempt to identify earlier and later copies. In each case, the most complete or most legible copy has been filed first. Targets used to identify missing pages during microfilming have been left in the collection.

The folder list which follows the scope and content note includes the story title, the name of the magazine or newspaper where the story was published, and the date of publication. Alternate story titles found on the manuscripts are enclosed in parentheses following the date of publication. In the case of Dent's novels, only the title and the date of publication have been listed.

The third section of the manuscript series contains copies of unpublished stories and stories for which publication information was unknown to the processor. The stories are arranged alphabetically by title. Individual stories are arranged with outlines and synopses preceding the manuscript and revisions following. A number of the earlier stories were received in envelopes which contain information such as the names of the magazines to which the story was submitted and the dates the story was written, submitted, and returned. Information from these envelopes is filed before outlines and synopses. Alternate titles found on individual manuscripts are enclosed in parentheses. Many of these stories are incomplete; some consist of only page one, and others are only available in outline form. Targets used to identify missing pages during microfilming have been left in the collection.

After this collection was processed probable publication information was received about some of the stories. This information is enclosed in brackets [ ] at the end of the folder description.

The Card File series contains background and publication information for the first sixteen Doc Savage stories, arranged in the order the stories were written. Included is the name of the story, a synopsis, the date it was written, the names of the major characters, and a description of the scenes. The remainder of the series consists of cards containing notes compiled by Dent on a variety of scientific and detective topics, arranged alphabetically, for use in his stories.

The Research Notes and Writing Aids series contains a variety of outlines, background and characterization sketches, story plots, research notes, and newspaper clippings which Dent compiled and collected for use in his stories. Also included are the 1940s addresses of writers, publishers, and Hollywood agents. Individual items within the notebooks have been left in their original order.

The Personal Papers series consists of a variety of materials related to Dent's writing, hobbies, and other activities. Much of the material is biographical. This series has been arranged alphabetically by topic.

The Photographs series consists of 150 prints, primarily of Lester and Norma Dent. The majority of the photographs relate to their vacations, their schooner (the Albatross), their home in La Plata, Missouri, and their aerial photography business, Airviews Inc. The photographs were removed from six volumes but left in their original order.

The Scrapbooks series contains biographical information about Lester Dent in the form of newspaper clippings and ephemeral items. Also included are clippings and research notes used by Dent in his stories and information about Dent's writing and other activities. The Publications series is divided into four sections. The first section contains copies of the Doc Savage magazine. Section two contains copies of various pulp magazines, newspapers, and books which contain stories written by Lester Dent and is arranged chronologically by the date of publication. These stories are not related to the Doc Savage character. The folder list gives the story title, the name of the magazine or newspaper, and the date of publication. Stories from this section which appeared in Doc Savage magazine are listed in chronological order, but have not been assigned a volume number. Reference is made to the appropriate volume where the story can be found. Dent's novels are listed only by title. The date following the title is for the copy within the collection, not necessarily the date of first publication.

The third section consists of various self-teaching foreign language books Dent used in writing his stories, arranged alphabetically. The last section includes reprints of Dent stories and copies of master's theses and magazine articles about Dent and the Doc Savage character. This series has not been microfilmed.

The Miscellaneous series consists of a jigsaw puzzle and a film. The puzzle depicts actor Ron Ely portraying the character of Doc Savage in the 1975 movie Doc Savage: Man of Bronze. The 16mm film entitled Voyage of the Albatross was made by the Dents about 1935 while on one of their hunts for sunken treasure. A video cassette of the film has been made for use by researchers. These items have not been microfilmed.
