Background
The Hoover Institution Library & Archives acquired the John F. Russell collection from Russell in 1985. Little is known of
its origin apart from what may be inferred from internal evidence. In the early 1950s, John F. Russell was a lieutenant in
the United States Army Counter Intelligence Corps, stationed at Fort Holabird, Maryland, and associated with the Army's Counter
Intelligence School there. No information on his later career is available. Much of the material in the collection dates from
the 1950s, and a portion of this was clearly generated by the Counter Intelligence Corps, some of it perhaps by Russell. Later
typescript and mimeographed material derives from various and unattributed sources.
