Evangeline Ensley Walton papers

The Evangeline Ensley Walton papers consist of biographical clippings, family documents, correspondence, manuscripts, publicity materials, some published materials, and Evangeline’s personal copies of books she considered to be influential. The family documents include materials from the Coyner, Furnas, and Ensley families. The correspondence contains personal and professional correspondence. Evangeline kept many letters that were sent to her, including a letter from fellow author Ursula K. Le Guin, which is located in Box 15 Folder 42.

Evangeline typed her manuscripts on onionskin paper as well as whatever scraps of paper she could find. Because she constantly rewrote pages, there are often multiple copies of similar pages. Debra Hammond, Evangeline’s literary heir, was able to get some of Evangeline’s manuscripts published posthumously.

Some works that Evangeline considered to be influential are included in this collection, several of which carry inscriptions to and from her family members. Also included in this collection are non-English copies of some of her works. Other assorted books by Evangeline Walton have been cataloged as part of Special Collections' general book collection.
