TWAIN CABINET DONATED TO LIBRARY An antique cabinet once owned by Mark Twain was donated as an addition to McKee Library’s Duane and Eunice Bietz Collection.
A Venetian standing cabinet made of carved walnut is now part of the library’s Duane and Eunice Bietz Collection. This cabinet was purchased by Mark Twain in Italy in in August of 1878. Mark Twain’s daughter, Clara Clemens, gifted the cabinet to her distant cousin and sculptor Gladys Lewis Bush, who bequeathed it to her nephew Leland Frederick Cooley. Duane Bietz purchased the cabinet from the Cooley family and subsequently donated it to McKee Library as part of the Duane
and Eunice Bietz Collection. More about the Collection The Duane and Eunice Bietz Collection is a rare collection of artifacts, signed copies, first editions, and Twain-related items. Duane Bietz, cardiac surgeon and brother of the former university president, along with his wife, Eunice, chose to donate the several-hundredpiece collection to Southern’s library because they wanted to increase the library’s resources. The collection strengthens the library by adding uniqueness and provides a wonderful opportunity for students to research Mark Twain and his life works.

Light, framing and color are all important things to consider; however, the one item that keeps coming out, not only in his images but also in the stories accompanying his images, is content. While on assignment covering events such as the Olympic Games, a refugee camp in Pakistan following 9/11/01, and the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the reader is brought into contact with the way in which visually impactful images are made.

From Vault Historical autographs of past presidents and authors are on display on the main floor of McKee Library.
We invite the campus community to view our new special collections display of signatures of prominent historical figures. Included in this display are signed items by Theodore Roosevelt, Ulysses S. Grant, Ossip Gabrilowitsch, and J. Harvey Kellogg, to name a few. Of special interest are two items allegedly signed by Mark Twain. One is authentic and one is a forgery. Can you spot the difference? About the Collection The items featured in the exhibit are all from collections within the Center for the Study of 19th Century America. The mission of the Center is to acquire, preserve, and provide access to a wide range of primary and secondary materials in support of presenting researchers with a context to understand the times in which the Seventh-day Adventist Church began.
