Ted Trueblood Collection Periodicals Ted Trueblood saved most of the periodicals in which his articles appeared; over 40 boxes of these magazines have been preserved in this series. The three major titles in the series are: Field & Stream, Elks, and True. Other titles which appear frequently are: Leica Photography, Pennsylvania Game News, and True’s Hunting and Fishing Yearbooks. Some magazines are sparsely represented, but demonstrate the broad scope of Trueblood’s publishing efforts: Sports Illustrated, Idaho Outdoor Digest, Sports Afield, Outdoor Life, The Idaho Guide, and Varsity. All the author’s articles in this series have been indexed on a computerized database; consult a Special Collections staff member to locate articles. This series catalogs over 500 articles written for Field & Stream magazine over a span of 35 years (from 1948-1982), most of them in a regular monthly column. Even those not interested in fishing and hunting will enjoy Ted’s writing style. Speaking of the joys of owning a dog: “His usual procedure is to... bring [something] to me. Sometimes he brings a slipper. Sometimes he gets one of the youngsters’ toys. He dances into the room as proudly as a boy with a new air rifle at Christmas.” (F&S, January 1955) Additionally, Ted contributed 72 articles to True magazine over a 25 year span, and wrote 74 pieces for the True Hunting and Fishing Yearbooks. He published 121 articles in Elks magazine over 18 years. His descriptive power is evident in some of these articles: “The hillside dipped gently toward the west and long shafts of early-morning sunlight created patterns on the ground . . . although I was eager to start hunting, the beauty of the moment held me spellbound.” (Elks, November 1962) Any would-be outdoor writer or researcher will gain much from a survey of the 1000+ articles preserved in this series.
