BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Boyden Sparkes was born January 6, 1890 in Cincinnati to Thomas Kinsey and Lillian Cary. Sparkes married Bessie Ledford Gore in 1914 and they had two daughters Betty (Mrs. Joseph C. Eagles Jr.) and Dorothy (Mrs. Hugh Primrose). From 1907 to 1921, Sparkes worked as a reporter for various newspapers including the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, Chicago Examiner and the New York Herald Tribune. In 1924 Sparkes started writing magazine articles, principally for The Saturday Evening Post.Sparkes also collaborated in writing fiction and non-fiction books like Crime in Ink, Adventure of a White Collar Man, and Life of an American Workman. Boyden Sparkes died in Wrightsville Sound, North Carolina on May 18, 1954.
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The collection primarily reflects Sparkes’ professional writing career. It includes magazine articles, books, and some personal papers. The collection is arranged in three series: Personal Papers, Articles, and Books.
The Personal Papers, 1902-1952 series consists of five linear inches of material arranged alphabetically by type. The documentation of Sparkes’ personal life is thin, consisting of scattered correspondence, scrapbooks, ephemera on Finch Junior College, and scant family papers. The best documentation of Sparkes’ life is found in three diary volumes covering the years 1935-1937.
Articles, 1914-1947 and undated, series consists of nearly four linear feet of articles, scrapbooks, and research files. These materials are arranged in five sub-series: articles (dated), articles (undated), articles in collaboration with others, resource files, and scrapbooks. The article (dated) files are arranged chronologically by date of publication. The articles (undated) series is arranged alphabetically by title. The articles in collaboration with others are arranged alphabetically by collaborator. The resource files are arranged alphabetically by topic. The scrapbooks include four oversized volumes of Sparkes’ articles for the Saturday Evening Post and two volumes covering his early career. Sparkes’ articles appeared in mass-circulation magazines and covered a wide range of topics with his articles: biographical sketches of businessmen, economic and business features (especially advertising and marketing), New York City, technological innovations, and aviation.
Books, 1915-1945 series comprises three linear feet of material and contains copies of book authored (or co-authored) by Sparkes, drafts, correspondence and research files. In doing book-length projects, Sparkes focused on businessmen and innovators such as Arthur Brisbane, Alfred Sloan (General Motors), Walter Chrysler, William Mellon and Tom Girdler (Consolidated Aircraft). During World War II, Sparkes compiled extensive research files on specific corporations in American industry. The files include oral histories, notes, and detailed chronologies of four corporations: Consolidated Aircraft, the Pennsylvania Railroad, American Locomotive, and Standard Steel Spring. The oral history notes provide telling insight into America’s heavy industry during the transformative years of World War II.
