Louis Gleason Interview, 25 February 2013
No full textGleason had some experiences with the civil rights movement. Though he’s mixed, he did manage to attend the only Catholic Church (and the affiliated school) in Cleveland that welcomed people of any race. He witnessed Martin Luther King speak on two separate occasions—once in Cleveland and once in Washington D.C., where he participated in a march for rights. Gleason was recruited to the airforce while he was studying at John Caroll University. He served the country during the Berlin Airlift and the Korean War. Because he was Catholic, Gleason was assumed to be Caucasian by those who recruited him. Though Truman did desegregate service during his time, Gleason experienced some racism toward his comrades along the way. After he returned from the army, he went back to school. Gleason finally worked 24 years with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland and retired in 1995

Letter from Herbert W. Gleason to John Muir, 1908 Dec 19.
Get PDFsubmit to your publishers for illustration, if agreeable to you, when the book is ready.Mrs. Gleason and I are planning another California trip for next summer, leaving here March 1st, as I have been asked to deliver a series of lectures on the Coast under the management of Mr. [Illegible] of Los Angeles. I do not know yet whether he has booked me for San Francisco or not, but I presume I shall have several engagements in that vicinity, and if so I hope at least one of them will be within easy reach for you, for I would like very much to have you see my slides, especially those on California. Mr. Hors-burgh urges me to bring my California slides with me for he says (and my experience corroborates it) that there are a great multitude of people in California who know absolutely nothing about the glorious scenery of their own state.We enjoyed very much the other day reading your manuscript of Stickeen which H. M. & Co. sent to me to look over as they had heard I had a photograph of Stickeen. But I found, of course, that my picture of the present Stickeen would hardly do to represent the original.Mrs. Gleason joins me in most cordial regards,both for you and Miss Helen, who, we hope, is now enjoying the best of health, and wishing you all the compliments of the season I amFaithfully yours,[Illegible]https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/jmcl/30140/thumbnail.jp
