Materials produced during Pflueger's lifetime include multiple nearly completed first drafts of the manuscript and loose chapters; multiple copies of a second draft sent by Pflueger to several editors for their input, including copies sent to Administrative Vice President of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Harold O. Wilson, Professor of Psychology Dorothy Tucker, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Professor of Journalism Ken Kitch, who was himself writing a history of the Voorhis campus, Professor of Economics Gertrude Boland, Professor of English and administrator Albert Aschenbrenner; and a draft produced for Zephyr Publications, the publisher that Pflueger partnered with when he attempted to publish his book independently.
Materials edited after Pflueger's death include a copy of the manuscript given by David Pflueger to his father's colleagues Professors of History, Emeriti Ralph Shaffer and Werner Marti for editing; a copy that David Pflueger donated to the Cal Poly Pomona University Library; and duplicates of this copy made after he agreed to pursue publication. The duplicates include complete copies and copies of individual chapters, which were distributed to volunteer editors to review for factual accuracy and tone. In addition to Shaffer and Marti, editors included Dean of Students Henry House, Professor of English Jack Fulbeck, Harold O. Wilson, Athletic Director Don Warhurst, Hugh O.
