Additional Description

Container Summary

This folder, the first of two, consists of America Magazine General Correspondence (1948-1969) consisting of letters of major and minor celebrities. The vast majority, however, are rather non-substantive, often making reference to a publication. Among the more substantive letters are: letter of George Lincoln Rockwell, the head of the American Nazi Party expressing his political views; letter (Apr. 17, 1959) of Richard M. Nixon which provides information regarding the efforts of the Eisenhower administration in the area of equal opportunity employment.
