Born in Stockton (Calif.) on September 6, 1894, Howard Pease began his writing career
with a story written in 1907 while he was in the sixth grade. After graduating from
Stanford University and working for a time as a merchant seaman, Pease published his
first story in the June 1921 issue of "American Boy." His first published novel, "The
Tattooed Man" (1926), was followed by twenty-one others. During most of his career Pease
also taught high school English. He resided in the Bay Area until his death (1974). For
additional data see: Jennings, Shirley May, "A study of the genesis of the twenty-two
published children's novels, by Howard Pease," (unpublished doctoral dissertation, UOP,
1969).
Included in the Howard Pease Papers are drafts of some of his published novels, short
stories and newspaper articles as well as correspondence from family, friends, fans and
business associates. The collection also contains memorabilia, including awards, reviews,
photographs and diplomas.
