Clippings, 1905-1962
This series contains newspaper clippings documenting various aspects of James Bruce's business career, his term as ambassador, and the subsequent debate over his aspirations for the ambassadorship to Great Britain. The clippings have been microfilmed for preservation purposes. A large number of clippings cover Bruce's 1935 kidnapping by bandits while on a hunting trip in Mexico. Another large portion of the clippings documents Bruce's senatorial campaign in 1957 and 1958. Some of the filmed clippings can also be found in photocopied form throughout the collection.
Arrangement is alphabetical by subject.
