Straub, William L. (1867-1939) c. 1900-1939; Two cubic feet (one box); SC-12

p. 17

Born in Dowagiac, Michigan on July 14, 1867, William L. Straub arrived in Pinellas County in 1900.  As editor and publisher of the St. Petersburg Times, he led the successful fight to "secede" Pinellas from Hillsborough County in 1911 and later (in 1929) wrote the book History of Pinellas County, Florida, considered by many to be the finest history yet written on the area. SC-12 contains Straub’s clip file, which includes portrait images of Pinellas and Florida notables taken from photographs, newspapers and magazine cutouts.  The collection also includes an original manuscript and photocopy of his "Saga Of Dakota Pioneering Days," an unpublished work relating to his early career in the Dakota Territory.
