Abstract:
Papers of a Green Bay journalist and publicist primarily documenting his work as manager of the Wisconsin Tercentennial, a 1934 event that commemorated the arrival of Jean Nicolet in Wisconsin. Also included is scattered documentation about Shannon's involvement with Progressive politicians during the 1920s. The Tercentennial files include correspondence, telegrams, reports, planning documents and budgets, a final financial statement, and memorabilia concerning arrangements for the visit of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on August 9, 1934, an appearance by Madame Schumann-Heinke, and other events. The memorabilia includes an original copy of the Milwaukee Journal rotogravure section of August 26, 1934. Additional files concern arrangements for a recreated Indian village and the historical pageant Under Three Flags, written by Susan B. Davis and State Historical Society historian Louise Phelps Kellogg. Prominent correspondents include Phyllis Crandall Connor, Joseph N. Conway, John V. Diener, F. Ryan Duffy, James Hughes, H. L. Mumm of the Land O' Lakes Indian Village in Rhinelander, Ella Neville, Chief Yellow Thunder, and Fred R. Zimmerman. Except for the memorabilia, the Terentennial files are available only on microfilm. Fragmentary general papers include personal memorabilia, political correspondence from John J. Blaine, Frank W. Kuehl, George J. Schneider and various Progressive political leaders, and a musical composition.
