Rice
Collection
A devoted literary duo, Alice Hegan Rice (1870-1942) and Cale Young
Rice (1872-1943) of Louisville, Kentucky, reveled in their combined
married and professional lives. Alice's novel Mrs. Wiggs of the
Cabbage Patch, published in 1901, was an instant hit. She had many
other published books, but none achieved the height of acclaim as
did Mrs. Wiggs...Cale was best known for his poetry, dramas, and
short stories.
Most of the collection pertains to their professional lives with
about 600 incoming letters from their many literary acquaintances.
The collection includes business papers concerning Mrs. Wiggs...
as well as manuscript drafts, books reviews, and numerous other
items.
