Biography
Historian and journalist
Francis Russell wrote on a wide range of topics,
from art to popular and juvenile history. One of his better known works is the
controversial
Tragedy in Dedham, concerning the murder trial of
Nicola Sacco and
Bartolomeo Vanzetti during the 1920s.
Russell attended Bowdoin College from 1928-1932, spending a portion of
1931-1932 enrolled at the University of Breslau in Germany. He also received an
MA degree from Harvard University in 1937. Russell married
Sharon Soong in 1966; the pair had one daughter,
Sara.
During the Second World War, he served as an intelligence officer with
the Canadian Army and was discharged in 1946.
In addition to his book on Sacco and Vanzetti and his later treatment
of the subject, Sacco and Vanzetti: the Case Resolved (1986), Russell's other
works include:
Three Studies in Twentieth-Century Obscurity: Joyce, Kafka and
Gertrude Stein (1953),
The World of Durer (1967), and
The Shadow of Blooming Grove: Warren G. Harding in His
Times (1968). Russell received two Guggenheim fellowships during his
lifetime, and was awarded the Edgar Allen Poe award by the
Mystery Writers of America for
Tragedy in Dedham.

Scope and Content
The Francis Russell Collection composes one portion of the Brandeis
University Special Collections' extensive holdings related to the murder trial
of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, thus making the university one of the
most important sources for material in North America. The importance of this
collection lies in the sometimes controversial interpretation of events by
Russell as articulated in his book about the trial, Tragedy in Dedham, and in
the volume of material the author collected in his lifetime related to the
case.
While little of the material in the collection attest to Russell's own
life history, these documents do provide detailed information about two
organizations active during and after the trial of Sacco and Vanzetti: the
Boston-based
Citizens National Committee for Sacco and
Vanzetti, and the New York-based
Sacco and Vanzetti National League. Additionally,
this collection holds drafts of Russell's writings, correspondence he
accumulating while researching the case, and miscellaneous documents,
photographs and videotapes about the trial.

Series Description
Series 1
Francis Russell Correspondence
1958-1962
48 folders
Alphabetical
The majority of this correspondence is from the years 1958 - 1962
and deals largely with Russell's exploration of the Sacco and Vanzetti case for
his book, Tragedy in Dedham. Arranged alphabetically by the author of the
letter, this series documents Russell's research into the facts of the case.
Letters from many of the principal figures involved in the history of the trial
are preserved here, including John Dos Passos, Max Eastman, Gardner Jackson,
and Tom O'Connor. Of special interest is a long letter from O'Connor to William
F. Buckley, Jr., in which O'Connor strongly refutes Buckley's insistence of
Sacco and Vanzetti's guilt.
This series provides little information about Russell himself.
Series 2
Sacco and Vanzetti Case Correspondence
1921-1930
20 folders
Alphabetical
This small series contains correspondence among individuals
associated with the trial, including a copy of Nicola Sacco's letter to his son
Dante written a few days before his execution. These materials are organized
alphabetically by author's last name.
Series 3
Citizens National Committee for Sacco and Vanzetti
1925-1927
203 folders
Chronological
The largest series in the Russell collection, this material
documents the activities of the eleventh-hour organization formed to appeal the
execution verdict during the month of August, 1927. With its headquarters in
Parlor D on the 2nd floor of the Bellevue Hotel in Boston, MA, the Citizens
National Committee issued round-the-clock statements and correspondence seeking
the revocation of Sacco and Vanzetti's death sentences. This body was under the
leadership of Isaac Don Levine and Robert Morss Lovett and featured a large
number of prominent New England intellectuals and activists of the time,
including Jane Addams, John Dewey, Paul Kellogg, Katherine Anne Porter, and Ida
Tarbell.
Organized chronologically, this series provides extensive insight
into the flurry of activity this group engaged in during a very brief period of
approximately two weeks. Divided roughly between telegrams, both originals and
copies, and press statements, the Committee materials shed light on the dynamic
of both the American and international movements in opposition to the death
penalty for the accused.
Series 4
Sacco-Vanzetti National League (New York)
1927-1931
83 folders
Chronological
This series documents a portion of the activities of the New
York-based Sacco-Vanzetti Defense League, which acted following the pairs'
execution in August, 1927, to maintain focus on the perceived miscarriage of
justice.
Consisting primarily of correspondence, these materials are filed
chronologically and the majority run between 1927 and 1930. Prominent
correspondents include: Robert M. Lovett, Forrest Bailey, Gardner Jackson, and
Felix Frankfurter. This series also contains assorted statements made by the
League, as well as committee meetings and some financial documents.
Series 5
Photographs
ca. 1927
6 folders
The Russell Collection contains a small number of black and white
photographs documenting both the trial and the evidence used therein.
Series 6
Newsclippings
undated
2 folders
Francis Russell kept a small number of newsclippings on the legacy
of the Sacco and Vanzetti case, particularly during the writing of his book on
the topic. These clippings center around 1960 and emphasize the search for new
evidence in the case and the ongoing reinterpretation of events.
In addition, this series holds copies of political cartoons
published during the years of the trial, the majority of which are from the
Boston Post.
Series 7
Publications, Writings and Evidence about the
Sacco-Vanzetti Case
1921-1965
36 folders
Alphabetical
This series collects the wide variety of miscellaneous material in
the Russell collection. Arranged alphabetically, these documents include
several publications and editorials on the Sacco and Vanzetti case. Of
particular interest is a folder of material related to the firearms evidence
used to convict the pair, and a file of international responses to the verdict.
Series 8
Video
1927
1 videotape
Tape of the funeral procession of Sacco and Vanzetti.
Series 9
Tragedy in Dedham typescript
1962
21 folders
This series holds the centerpiece of the Russell collection: his
typescript draft of the 1962 book,
Tragedy in Dedham. Organized by chapter, these 628
pages contain extensive content, stylistic and typographical annotation and
provide an informative backdrop to the published version.
