Creator Sketch

William Henry Hutchinson was born in Denver, Colorado on August 13, 1910. He spent his youth in the West, living in Goldfield, Nevada, and also Arizona and Mexico.

Hutchinson met his wife Esther, nicknamed "Red," on a troop ship while being evacuated from China during World War II. She was working as a deputy marshal for the U.S. Treasury Department at that time. The couple married in 1942 and moved to San Francisco in 1946. They later settled in Chico, California. "Old Hutch" and "Red" eventually had two sons, Warren and James.

In 1946, Hutchinson edited a collection of previously unpublished works of Eugene Manlove Rhodes, The Little World Waddies. This publication brought renewed interest to Rhodes' writings and recognition to Hutchinson in the literary world. Hutchinson edited other Rhodes writings including, The Rhodes Reader (1957); an anthology of Rhodes features, and The Line of Least Resistance, in 1958.

Interest of Eugene Manlove Rhodes' writings among the literary world after his death took shape in part because of the efforts of Eugene Cunningham and Walter Prescott Webb, who had worked to preserve Rhodes' writings and letters. Cunningham in particular encouraged Hutchinson to develop a definitive biography on Eugene Manlove Rhodes. In 1956, Hutchinson completed his first biography on Rhodes entitled A Bar Cross Man, which was highly acclaimed as one of the ten best Western books of the year. In 1959, he wrote an annotated bibliography of Rhodes entitled A Bar Cross Liar.

Hutchinson also authored other works such as Another Verdict for Oliver Lee, in 1965, and Whiskey Jim and a Kid Named Billie, in 1967. Hutchinson wrote on varied western United States themes, which included music, railroads, and oil. He was also acknowledged as an expert in regional history, including that of his home state, California, as well as Lincoln County, New Mexico. In 1964, Hutchinson arrived at California State University and served as professor of Californian and Western history for fourteen years. He received the Chico State Distinguished Teacher Award in 1968, and the award as Outstanding Professor of California State Colleges and Universities in 1977. He retired in 1978.

Hutchinson received other honors, which included being named a Fellow of the California Historical Society in 1985. Though he lived in California, he spent a great deal of his time corresponding with interested parties concerning Eugene Manlove Rhodes' life and his career in New Mexico.

Professor Hutchinson died on March 11, 1990, in Chico, California. His wife Esther died one month later, on April 12th.

Scope and Content

The W. H. Hutchinson papers span the years 1902-1989. The bulk of the materials date between 1952-1985. The collection has been divided into seven series: Biographical information, Correspondence, Source material - Rhodes, Galleys, Printed material, Speeches and typescripts, Order files, Sketches and drawings, Photographs, and Books. There is also a list of Hutchinson publications located in Special Collections that follows the manuscript container list.

The correspondence contains letters pertaining to Hutchinson's writings about Eugene Manlove Rhodes and the writing of Rhodes. It is of both personal and professional nature, including publishers, authors, critics and friends. There is material on copyright and royalty issues pertaining to the properties of the literary estate of Eugene Manlove Rhodes and its management. Of note within the series of correspondence with New Mexico State University are transcripts of taped interviews with former cowboys who worked with Rhodes, first recorded in 1964. There are also reviews of books included among the series. Correspondents in this series include May Davison Rhodes, Eve Ball, S. Omar Barker, David Townsend, Bula Charles, Paul Rader, Eugene Cunningham, Harry Carey, and Lawrence Clark Powell.

Included in the collection are Hutchinson's subject files on the life and career of Eugene Manlove Rhodes, composed of clippings, notes, copies of Rhodes' writings, and correspondence related to Hutchinson's research on Rhodes. Some folders in this series contain notes relating to the characters in Rhodes' works who were based on living persons in southern New Mexico in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Also included are various published materials, including bookseller catalogs, monographs, articles, and reprints. Unpublished materials include manuscripts, speeches, drafts, and typescripts from Hutchinson and other authors regarding Eugene Manlove Rhodes and Western United States literature.
