The Ted Trueblood Collection MSS 89 In 1989, Ellen Trueblood donated
the papers of her husband, Ted Trueblood, to Albertsons Library at Boise
State University. The papers
consist of writings, correspondence, publications, daily diaries, field
notebooks, subject files, images, and memorabilia. They document Trueblood’s
career as a writer as well as his interests in fishing, hunting, and the
conservation of natural resources. He
was particularly involved in preserving the wilderness of Idaho and the West. Trueblood’s papers and
photography encompass the period 1928 to his death in 1982, with the bulk of
them dating in the 1970s. A
prolific author, he wrote hundreds of articles for Field & Stream and
other magazines. The articles
preserved here are in typescript and published form. Also included here is
correspondence with conservationists, environmentalists, nature writers, fishing
buddies, and manufacturers of guns and fishing tackle.
Prominent correspondents include: Peter Barrett, Dwain Bland, Frank
Church, Hugh Grey, Ray P. Holland, Leon L. Martuch, J. L. Melancon, Jack Tallman,
Bill Voight, Jr., Edgar B. Ward, and George B. Warner. Various posthumous material is
included in the collection including eulogies and posthumous articles and
publication correspondence. The papers of Elsie Berry
Trueblood, Ted Trueblood’s mother, are also part of the collection.
They contain some of Ted’s childhood papers.
Additionally, the Special Collections Department houses the papers of
Ellen Trueblood and of Jack Trueblood, Ted and Ellen’s son. Return to Table of Contents Return to Special Collections homepage Email: Special Collections Department This
