ELLEN BARTLETT BALLOU, "Scudder's Journey to Texas, 1859,"
is a member of the Department of English in Brown University.
A graduate of Wellesley College and Northwestern University,
Mrs. Ballou joins the long and respected list of Northerners whose
scholarly investigations have led to important contributions to
Texas history. While examining the papers of Horace E. Scudder
preparatory to writing an extended study of the New England
editor's critical writing, Mrs. Ballou discovered the diary that is

will recognize the document and Mrs. Ballou's treatment of it as
important additions to knowledge of Texas on the eve of the Civil
War.

of the Department of History in Texas Technological College. A
