Institution on War, Revolution and Peace, Stanford University, Stanford, California, and personal letters in the possession
of John Easterbrook. Compiled by John Easterbrook, April 2002.
NOTE: Some time intervals shown between assignments are assumed to be a small number of leave days and/or travel time, and
in some cases clearing customs following international travel. Major blocks of leave time are noted. Single day differences
were occasionally noted between Stilwell's diaries, summary notes, and orders. In these cases preference was given to daily
diary entries when available.

Scope and Content of Collection
The papers of Joseph W. Stilwell in the Hoover Institution Library & Archives constitute an extremely valuable resource for
scholars and researchers interested in military history in general and in the history of World War II in the China-Burma-India
Theater in particular. The historian Barbara W. Tuchman, an authority on the subject of Joseph W. Stilwell's life and career,
used these primary source materials extensively for her book,
Stilwell and the American Experience in China, 1911-45. These materials contain not only military information, such as plans of troop deployment, determination of war strategy,
and handling of supplies, but they also bring to life General Stilwell's personality and character. He was proficient in many
languages, traveled widely in connection with his tour of duty, and the papers reflect his interest in and admiration for
different cultures.
Handwritten
Original Diaries with illustrations constitute the most interesting and significant segment of the collection. Therein Joseph W. Stilwell
recorded details of his daily life, his thoughts on various subjects, his trips, his personal life, and important information
received from radio messages or via telephone calls. His thoughts, as reflected in these diaries, often developed into plans
of military action. General Stilwell never intended that his diaries would be seen by anyone else and he frequently used them
to vent the frustrations he faced. The language is often blunt, and while they may not reflect his daily behavior, they do
provide insights to his character and strengths.
Transcripts of Diaries are also available.
The
American Expeditionary Forces, IV Army Corps File contains information relating to the time Joseph W. Stilwell spent at the Army General School in Langres, France, for training,
his service with the French army at Verdun, and his work as the Corps' Chief Intelligence Officer. The
China-Burma-India Command File provides significant documentation on the situation in the Pacific and in the China-Burma-India sector, Stilwell's performance
as a commander, his grasp of strategic issues, and his persistence in upholding the course of action he believed to be viable.
This series also traces the history of his disagreements with Chiang Kai-shek, which led to his recall.
The
Career File and the
Personal and Family File taken together paint a picture of Joseph W. Stilwell as a man totally dedicated to his family and his country. Various school
and family records provide an interesting insight into his family affairs and his performance at school. The
Literary File reflects his writing skills, as shown by the articles, essays, musical lyrics, poems, and speeches therein.
The
Memorabilia series, consisting of Joseph W. Stilwell's personal effects, gifts, and souvenirs from the army, provides a rare and interesting
opportunity to learn about life in the army with all its paraphernalia. The
Oversize Materials include cartoons, various documents and drafts, maps (including some annotated by Stilwell), and posters, and form an important
segment of the collection.
The
Scrapbooks, a collection of clippings, messages, photographs, and souvenirs, contain a wealth of information relating to Stilwell's
life. The
Lantern Slides, depicting scenes of life and people in China, are exquisite and unique features of this collection. And among the
Sound Recordings, the recorded messages from Burma and a speech given in San Francisco, California, reveal Stilwell's skills as a speaker
and his sense of humor.
The
Incremental Materials, while complementing the original collection acquired by the Hoover Institution Library & Archives in 1951 from Mrs. Joseph
W. Stilwell, include some new information about Joseph W. Stilwell's personal life and his career in the army. His writings
in general, and his letters to his wife in particular, are a significant component of the incremental materials. The issuance
of the Stilwell postal stamp, as well as the process leading to this event, represents the nation's tribute to a remarkable
man and general.
Finally the
Photographs, including a number of postcards, depict beautiful scenes and people from China, Japan, the Philippines, and many cities
of the United States. They also reveal a very personal side of Stilwell at his residence in Carmel, California, and in his
army life as a West Point cadet, as a soldier during his early assignments in Europe, and as a commander of the China-Burma-India
sector, in the Philippines, and in the Pacific.
This register is an expanded and more detailed version of an earlier version created after the collection was received. Folder
numbers and documents not previously mentioned have been added, but the order of the series has been retained, with one exception
–- the American Expeditionary Forces series now appears at the beginning. However, new series have been added, the largest
one consisting of the incremental material received since the completion of the initial register and listed at the end of
the register. Separate series have also been created for the recently created diary transcripts, as well as for the scrapbooks,
memorabilia, oversize materials, glass slides, photographs, and sound recordings (sound cassettes), which previously were
to be found in the miscellany series.
Related Collection(s)
W. B. Pettus Collection, Claremont Graduate University (Claremont, California). Pettus was president of the College of Chinese
Studies in Beijing, which Stilwell attended as the army's first Chinese-language student. Pettus and Stilwell maintained a
friendship through World War II, and correspondence between them is in the collection. Topics include the honorary PhD awarded
to Stilwell, Chinese language instruction for the US military during World War II, and Pettus's assistance to Stilwell's daughter
Alison, a painter in the Chinese style, in arranging exhibits for her across the United States.
The United States Military Academy (West Point, New York) has a collection of twenty-five items (letters, photographs, and
clippings) concerning General Stilwell. These items were a gift from William R. Wigley in 1964.

General William R. Gruber and General Joseph Stilwell during World War II in the China--Burma--India Theater.

Transcripts of Diaries
1900-1946
Scope and Contents note
History of the WWII diary transcripts (adapted from Hoover website):
The World War II diaries were first transcribed several decades ago, when Stilwell's widow and a daughter-in-law, Bettye Stilwell,
manually typed them.
In 1998, Deborah Bunce, a cousin of John Easterbrook (grandson of Stilwell) started entering the manually typed transcriptions
into a computer database.
Several years later, Elena Danielson (then-director of the Hoover Library & Archives) came up with the idea of putting them
on the Hoover Library & Archives website.
With this goal in mind, John Easterbrook began proofing the computer database text against the original diaries. Deborah input
the corrections Easterbrook noted, and Stefanie Diaz (a Hoover Archives staff member) rechecked the revised transcriptions.
Janet Gardiner (an independent editor) compared these updated transcriptions with the original diaries, in order to make final
corrections.
Heather Wagner (audiovisual specialist, Hoover Archives) scanned Stilwell's maps of military maneuvers, and Polina Ilieva
(technical specialist, Hoover Archives) pulled everything together and created a page on the Hoover Library & Archives website
in 2005.
Comments on the WWII diary transcripts by Janet Gardiner, editor (from Hoover website):
"Every effort has been made to replicate accurately Stilwell's spelling and punctuation, superscripting and dash length, underlining
and abbreviations—however unconventional or inconsistent in usage. Sometimes Stilwell deliberately used inventive spelling
to poke fun at the accents of British military top brass and diplomats and of the Australians or West Africans. At other points,
he wrote under such time pressure and preoccupation with the campaign that he inadvertently omitted terminal quotation marks,
periods, and parentheses. Whatever the reason for the idiosyncrasies in the text, the transcribers have respected them. That
said, this online presentation of the World War II diaries uses larger text pages than those in Stilwell's 2 ¾ x 4 ¾ inch
spiral-bound notebooks. In addition, 1.5 spacing has replaced the single spacing of the original text, and entries are separated
by line spaces, rather than by terminal line rules. Dates are in boldface and set off from the text with extra space, while
preserving their original format. Stilwell's miscellaneous and undated jottings at the beginnings and ends of some of the
volumes have been aggregated at the end of each year of entries, with their provenance indicated."

Joseph Stilwell address to the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce
1946 March 28
Physical Description: 5.0 discs
Scope and Contents note
General Stilwell speaks about the state of the United Stats' Army following the end of World War II.
Part 1: Introduction Part 2: Leadership in the Pentagon Part 3: On good examples of military commanders and leaders Part 4:
On the administration of nuclear weapons. Part 5: On the Army's efforts to dignify the enlisted soldier and reward excellence.
Part 6: wishes and problems of the enlisted man, including uniforms, food, and how the treatment of rank-and-file compares
to the treatment of officers. Part 7: More on differences between officers' and soldiers' lives. Part 8: On the need for discipline
and the effectiveness of Army training. Part 9: Closing remarks."
This talk is believed to be that which was described in the San Francisco Chronicle on March 29, 1946. The front page headline
was, "Gen. Stilwell Talks Back: 'Army Caste System Sounds Nasty, but Discipline Is Vital.'" The article reports that Stilwell
"covered the caste system, Army brass hats, the atomic bomb, and charges of undemocratic procedures in the Army," which closely
parallels the arc of this recorded speech.

General Dorn talk remembering General Stilwell
1956 March 20
Physical Description: 3.0 discs
Scope and Contents note
General Dorn speaks before a gathering of people, including General Stilwell's widow.
Dorn starts by speaking about the most controversial aspects of Stilwell's work in the China-Burma-India (CBI) theater. Topics
he covers in order:
- How Stilwell wound up in CBI instead of North Africa, where he was originally supposed to go. - Using Burma to supply China
- The many interests by various nations that Stilwell had to balance.
Following, he takes questions from the audience. The questions/audience are well picked up on the recording. Topics covered
here include:
- Stilwell's relationship with Chiang Kai-Shek and commanding the Chinese forces - Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, of whom General
Dorn does not have a favorable opinion. Dorn analyzes her strengths, weaknesses, and others opinions of her. - What the implications
would have been if an American corps was sent to China to assist the Chinese forces. - China going communist and American
culpability for that. - The ability of China to act as an integrated power (audio quality is poor in this section due to a
scratch on the accessioned disc) - Civil war in China prior to World War II. - The personality, political skills, and military
skills of Chiang Kai-Shek - The future of Shanghai.
The meeting ends with brief remarks from Mrs. Stilwell and one of General Stilwell's poems.
The Frank Dorn Papers, 1927-1976, are also available at the Hoover Institution Library & Archives.
