This two-box collection contains papers concerning Samuel P. Cowley and his family spanning the period from 1934 to 1974. This collection is comprised of materials assembled during the 1970s by John J. Stewart, a former USU faculty member, who was conducting research on Samuel P. Cowley during this period. This collection contains Stewart's research materials in the form of publications about Cowley (1935-1974), oral history interviews with the Cowley family (1971), Cowley family correspondence (1930s), reports, and various other papers. This collection also contains Stewart's correspondence (1971-1974) with the Cowley family concerning his research on S. P. Cowley. For an unknown reason, Stewart never published his findings.

Brossard was the brother-in-law of Cowley and some papers in the collection concern Cowley and his death. Additionally, newspaper articles about Cowley can be found in PORT. SHELF 1-3.1.
