Biographical Note
W. Sherman Savage (March 7, 1890-May 23, 1980) remained deeply involved in education
throughout his adult life, both as a teacher and as a scholar. Born in Wattsville, Accomac
County, Virginia, Savage received a bachelor's degree from Howard University in 1917. He
held various teaching positions in Mississippi, North Carolina and Oklahoma, before becoming
professor of history at Lincoln University of Missouri (Jefferson City, Missouri) in 1921.
Despite the racial barriers in place at most universities, Savage also pursued his graduate
studies, becoming the first black graduate of the University of Oregon (receiving an M.A. in
1925) and the first black to receive a doctorate from Ohio State University in 1934. Dr.
Savage remained at Lincoln University until his retirement in 1960 as chair of the History
Department. As his papers demonstrate, he was regarded with great respect and affection by
his colleagues and by his students at Lincoln University because of his exceptional
dedication to the school and to his teaching. Thereafter, he taught in the History and
Political Science Department at Jarvis Christian College in Hawkins, Texas until 1966.
Following his departure from Jarvis, he and his wife Roena moved to Los Angeles where he
continued to teach as a visiting professor at California State College, Los Angeles until
1970. He pursued his research and his writing in the years after his final retirement up
until his death in 1980. As an historian, Savage wrote initially about abolitionism
(including a published version of his doctoral dissertation, "The Controversy Over the
Distribution of Abolition Literature, 1830-1860") but soon became interested in exploring
the circumstances of African Americans in the trans-Mississippi West. He published
extensively in
The Journal of Negro History and
The Negro History Bulletin on aspects of the subject, served as a
consultant to a 1970 television series dealing with the general topic and eventually made it
the subject of his best known book,
Blacks in the West
(Westport, CT, 1976).

Scope and Content
The papers concern Savage's writing and research on African American history, especially in
the California and trans-Mississippi West, his retirement from Lincoln University in 1960
and his subsequent teaching at Cal State LA. There is also material about his efforts to
secure a publisher for his major study, Blacks in the West. The papers in this collection
represent only the latter portion of Savage's career as an historian and educator.
Unfortunately, according to Savage himself, his earlier papers were destroyed by a tenant
who was leasing the Savages' home after his retirement from Lincoln University (carbon copy
of letter to Dr. Michael R. Winston, Moorland-Spingarn Research Center, Howard University,
July 14, 1974, Box 7, folder 10).
Some notable items include correspondence in 1969 and 1970 between Sherman Savage and
various representatives of the University of Nebraska's educational television station in
the course of developing a television series on African-Americans in the West (see Savage to
Larry Long, Box 6, folder 53 and University of Nebraska, University Television to Sherman
Savage, Box 7, folder 42); multiple drafts of Sherman Savage's major publication, Blacks in
the West (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1976), Boxes 1 through 3.
Note: Many of the materials are in rather poor physical condition because of the
deteriorating paper upon which the letters or manuscripts were produced or because of
previous circumstances of storage.
Arrangement
The collection is housed in 11 boxes and is separated into five categories of materials:
manuscripts, correspondence, teaching materials, ephemera and printed matter. The
manuscripts are organized alphabetically by author and then by title while the
correspondence is arranged alphabetically by author and then, where necessary, by
addressee.
Bibliography
A lengthy memorial appreciation of Dr. Savage, written by Lorenzo J. Greene,
appeared in
The Journal of Negro History,v.
66, n. 1 (Spring 1981).
