Albums, 1927-1987
Scope and Contents
Items in this album include newspaper clippings, photographs, and other ephemera concerning numerous parts of Lee's life. Some of the earliest materials in this album are original photographs from Lee's military service during WWI. It contains a number of interesting magazine articles about Lee, including one from a 1957 issue of Human Events entitled, "J. Bracken Lee—Budget Cutter." There is also a booklet promoting Lee's 1958 failed Senate run and a reprint of the acceptance speech for his failed Senate run in a 1962 publication of The CSA Newsletter. Other materials come from after Lee's retirement from politics, including a letter from Utah governor Norman H. Bangerter wishing him Lee and his wife well after a car accident. A 1987 certificate for a donation to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation indicates Lee's continuing commitment to conservative politics.
