Henry Herbert Knibbs papers, 1922-1948, undated

Biographical/Historical note

Henry Herbert Knibbs (1874-1945) was an associate of Charles Lummis and had a business and romantic relationship with Turbesé from 1929 until his death in 1945. His wife, Ida Julia Pfeifer, never granted him a divorce so Fiske and Knibbs’s relationship was never officially recognized. Despite this, Knibbs made Fiske executor of his estate and his papers are included in her collection. Knibbs is best known for his western-themed fiction and cowboy poetry.

Scope and Contents note

Henry Herbert Knibbs's papers include business and personal correspondence, fan mail, drafts of his autobiography, a resolution by the California Assembly to name him Poet Laureate of California in 1933, newspaper clippings, business papers, drawings, statement of will, and instructions for constructing a violin.
