BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SIOUX CITY AUTHORS. 
By FRANK H. GARVER, 
The reason for compiling this list of Sioux City 
authors and their published works was largely one of 
sentiment. Early in the year the editor of the Proceed- 
ings suggested that such a compilation would have at 
least a local value, in that we all might be interested in 
knowing who among our fellow townsmen and women 
had entered the field of authorship either seriously or 
maliciously. A second reason which the writer would 
suggest is the thought that were local bibliographies 
compiled in each county of the state the work of those 
compiling state bibliographies would be made compara- 
tively easy. Hence such a compilation as this may some 
day be of permanent value. 
The plan followed has been to list all histories, 
novels, short stories, essays, addresses, Sermons or poems, 
published or privately printed, in book, magazine or 
pamphlet form. Articles printed only in newspapers, 
however great their merit, have been excluded for ob- 
vious reasons. This fact accounts for the absence of sev- 
eral well known names. Reports, with one or two excep- 
tions, have been excluded. 
The authors included have been actual residents of 
the city, or persons who, though absent at the time of 
authorship, were yet born or raised here. It was not the 
intention to include the works of former residents, writ- 
ten after their departure, unless such persons were real 
products of Sioux City. 
In connection with each item we have, where the 
data was obtainable, listed the following points: Name 
of author, name of work, including sub-title; name of 
publisher, address of same; date of publication and num- 
ber of pages, together with, ofttimes, a brief word of 
explanation as to the character of the work.
