Although Freehoff was active in agriculture and politics all his life, comparatively little of the collection deals with these matters. The bulk of it is concerned with his literary aspirations. He wrote for a number of farm publications as well as for general magazines and newspapers. The one folder of correspondence consists mainly of letters to and from literary critics. The most valuable portion of the collection is his autobiographical material. In the “Autobiography” and “Badger Boyhood” manuscripts, Freehoff records his impressions on topics of general interest.
