• Mississippi Matinee: Intruder in the Dust

Original Watercolor by Katherine Dye of William Faulkner's birth house as it once stood at the intersection of Cleveland and Jefferson Streets in New Albany, Mississippi. Less than a year after his birth in 1897, William Faulkner moved with his family to Ripley, Mississippi, where he lived until his family moved again, this time to Oxford, in 1902. The house is no longer standing.

Oxford, Mississippi Telephone Directory: Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co. 1929.

The Directory for 1929 is the first which includes a telephone number -546- for William Falkner (the letter "u" is omitted). As Oxford's population was slightly less than three thousand at the end of the 1920s, the entire directory is only five pages long.

Photograph of William Faulkner in the 1936 edition of The Ole Miss, Published by the Students of the University of Mississippi, University, Mississippi, 1936.

Faulkner is photographed in a group shot, "The welcoming committee greets Al Key," in the "With the Cameraman" section of the student annual. Al Key, who with his brother Fred, had set a flight endurance record in 1935 had flown into the Oxford airport on his airplane, "Ole Miss." Faulkner, holding a cigarette and standing apart from the group, is not taking his duties as greeter too seriously. A similar photograph of Faulkner, taken on the same occasion is also published in the 1936 student annual. The caption under that photograph reads "William Faulkner, novelist and aviator."
