Tungsten in Peace and War, 1918–1946

Bibliography

A NOTE ON SOURCES As a retired historian living on a remote section of the northern California coast, I have taken full advantage of the Internet resources available, especially full-text reproductions from Google Print, Jstor, Lexis, Ebsco, the Library of Congress Thomas Web site, and other online databases. Some are open to anyone with an Internet hookup; others require academic affiliation. Even snippets of longer text have brought to light obscure publications and provided useful leads to further research. This book is a good example of how the “fair use” guidelines of the 1978 copyright law can be used both for the advancement of learning and for the benefit of scholarly authors whose obscure or limited-edition monographs find larger audiences. To avoid redundancy, online citations are listed in the bibliography but not in endnotes. For background chapters and national politics, as well as macroeconomic analysis, I have relied almost exclusively on secondary sources and published government documents . In order to concentrate on telling the Nevada-Massachusetts story, I preferred to follow the lead of those who know these peripheral subjects best rather than “reinvent the wheel.” MANUSCRIPT COLLECTIONS AND UNPUBLISHED SOURCES The chief source of information on Charles H. Segerstrom and the Nevada-Massachusetts Company is the Segerstrom Collection at the Holt-Atherton Library, University of the Pacific. Accumulated over a period of years from family deposits, it totals some five hundred linear feet of business records, family and business correspondence, scrapbooks, maps, diagrams, charts, photographs, and publications, covering multiple family and business enterprises from 1910 to the 1960s. Segerstrom was heavily invested and directly involved in the management of at least eight different mining companies during his long career, but spent most of his time and resources on Nevada-Massachusetts and its subsidiaries . They represent the bulk of the collection. The Segerstrom Collection is not fully organized and cataloged, although a preliminary organization has been completed and a finding aid prepared. Researching the collection will challenge the patience and endurance of any scholar, but the friendly help of the BIBLIOGRAPHY 248 Bibliography Holt-Atherton staff is considerable consolation. All references to Nevada-Massachusetts, and all Segerstrom and related correspondence, unless otherwise indicated, are located in the Segerstrom Collection. The standard citation is sc uopwa.
