Novels
Scope and Contents
This subseries contains novels, primarily unpublished, written by Nathan B. Young Jr. While many of the novels are undated, most were seemingly written around 1930 to 1950, and he later went back to edit and create covers for several of the novels in the early 1980s. Most of these novels are historical fiction dealing with the Civil War and the history of St. Louis.
