- Summary:
- This collection consists of three series. The first, Autobiographical Writings (30 folders), contains typescripts of two works titled If My Memory Serves Right (completed around 1955) and Seventy to Eighty (completed around 1965). Along with memories of family, politics, and business, these two works present portraits from a personal perspective of important individuals in the Socialist Party and the labor movement, including Louis Adamic, Ella Reeve Bloor, Eugene V. Debs, Clinton S. Golden, Rose Schneiderman, Pauline Newman, and Morris Hillquit. The second series, Biographical Writings (10 folders), contains a typescript of a biography of Caylor's brother, labor leader Joseph E. Cohen (written between 1955 and 1965), and five short typed reminiscences of family and friends. The third series, Writings by Others (3 folders), includes "Arden Themes," a pamphlet of reflections on the utopian community of Arden, Del., written by Caylor's brother, Joseph Cohen; Cohen and Caylor first became "Ardenites" before World War I. The other item in this series is a 1958 report by the Center for Practical Politics at Rollins College (Winter Park, Fla.) in which Caylor is the subject of a case study on the editing of letters to the editor.
