One of the nation's most effective congressional leaders, Sam
Rayburn served as Speaker of the House longer than anyone in U.S.
history. Although he has been the subject of several biographies
and numerous articles, until now no comprehensive analysis of
Rayburn has integrated these disparate materials in a single
resource. Sam Rayburn: A Bio-Bibliography accomplishes that
objective. Designed for scholars interested in the life and
historical period of Sam Rayburn, the volume includes a detailed
biographical sketch and an extensive annotated bibliography
describing the Rayburn resource materials. The bibliographic
entries are divided into three parts: works about Rayburn, Rayburn
as author, and archival sources. Because Rayburn wrote little, the
inclusion of some 80 oral histories by friends and associates of
Rayburn is an especially valuable feature for the researcher. Those
papers by Rayburn that do exist are included and fully annotated
here. The section covering works about Rayburn includes media
coverage of the Congressman, interviews with Rayburn's colleagues,
and memoirs as well as books and articles about Rayburn. A
chronology is included for quick reference to major events in
Rayburn's life and a complete index facilitates easy access to the
main entries.
