L. Sonnichsen: Folk Historian.  There are two series representing the above mentioned works.

 

Series Description

Series I:  The Cowgirls, 1961-1977.

Boxes 1 – 6

In The Cowgirls, Roach examines woman's role in the forming of the West.  The book considers the woman as rancher, pistol packer and rodeo star. Woman's place in western society and culture is further investigated through a look at movies, songs, dime novels and humor.  This series contains answers to Roach's research queries, notes, articles, brochures, clippings, cassettes, letters, photographs and interviews.  It is organized generally in the chapter order of the finished book.

 

Series II:  C. L. Sonnichsen, 1950-1991 (bulk 1970-1980).

Boxes 7 – 8

This series contains the clippings, articles, reviews, and letters Roach used to craft her pamphlet on the life and work of C. L. Sonnichsen.  Sonnichsen (1901-1991) was a noted folk historian who spent the major part of his life as a professor at the University of Texas at El Paso.  He retired from UTEP in 1972 and became the director of publications at the Arizona Historical Society.  Sonnichsen authored many books about the West including Cowboys & Cattle Kings, I'll Die Before I Run, Mescalero Apaches, and Pass of the North.  The series includes many letters from Sonnichsen to Roach, some touching on personal matters and encouraging Roach in her writing efforts.
