Winston Churchill Papers, 1907-1947

<P>Winston Churchill, son of Edward S. Churchill and Emma Bell Blaine, was born November 10, 1871, in St. Louis. He went to the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, but grew tired of naval life and devoted his time to writing. His first novel, <I>The Celebrities</I>, was published in 1897 and was moderately successful. Two years later, he produced <I>Richard Carvel</I>, which was immediately hailed as one of America's most powerful historical novels. This was a tale of pre-Revolutionary Annapolis, which he had planned while a midshipman at the academy. He followed this with <I>The Crisis</I>, a story of the Civil War, which became his most widely read novel. His other books included <I>Coniston</I>, <I>The Inside of the Cup</I>, <I>The Dwelling Place of Light</I>, <I>The Crossing</I>, and<I> Mr. Crewe's Career</I>. He lived most of his life in Cornish, New Hampshire, where he had built a home named "Harlakenden Hall" in honor of his wife, the former Mabel Harlakenden Hall of St. Louis. He died in St. Louis in 1946.</P>
