INTRODUCTION

            In his preface to The Pigeon, Wendell Mitchell Levi (1891-1976) wrote that “since early boyhood, I have raised pigeons and have found in them a hobby which has brought relaxation coupled with stimulation to such a degree as to color and enhance every phase of my life.”  At an early age, Levi was given his first pigeon to comfort him as he lay ill in bed, thereby beginning a life-long fascination.

            A graduate of College of Charleston (1912) and of the University of Chicago Law School (1915), Levi was commissioned First Lieutenant in charge of the Pigeon Section of the United States Army Signal Corps for the South Eastern Department during World War I.  Returning to civilian life, he continued the practice of law in his native city of Sumter, South Carolina, and helped to establish the Palmetto Pigeon Plant, said to be the world’s largest squab farm. 

            Over the years, Levi’s involvement with pigeon brought him deeper and deeper into research concerning the genetics, parasitology, health care, and feeding of numerous breeds.  In contact with fellow pigeon fanciers throughout the world, he answered hundreds of inquiries, ever seeking to build a worldwide network of concerned pigeon breeders.

             Out of these efforts came a numerous publications.  For nearly fifty years, Wendell Levi was editor of the “Questions and Answers” department of the American Pigeon Journal.  Pigeon Raising (1934), a Boy Scouts of America Merit Badge Pamphlet, was his first effort at presenting a more unified look at the raising of pigeons.  Realizing the need for a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of the pigeon, Levi spent years compiling the information that would be used for The Pigeon (1941), a book which has undergone numerous revisions and reprinting since its first publication.  Levi’s involvement in squab farming led to the book Making Pigeons Pay (1946), a practical guide for both the novice and the experienced farmer.  The Encyclopedia of Pigeon Breeds (1965) was a global project, as Levi called upon colleagues throughout the world to provide him with photographs and data on some eight hundred different breeds.

            Through a lifetime of devoted effort, Wendell Levi amassed one of the outstanding libraries in the field, covering not only the pigeon, but ornithology, poultry science, genetics, and parasitology as well.  In addition to his invaluable collection of books and pamphlets, Mr. Levi presented to the College of Charleston his personal papers, correspondence with fellow fanciers and scientists the world over, and manuscripts of all his writings.

            (Levi’s interest extended to the cold weather camellia as well.  And because many fellow pigeon fanciers held a similar interest, the archives index includes this material.)

            The College of Charleston Library Associates wishes to express its deepest gratitude to Mrs. Wendell Levi for the generous gift that has made possible the publication of this catalog of the Wendell Mitchell Levi Library and Archives.

            The cataloging of so large a collection is never the work of a single pair of hands.  I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank the following members of the Robert Scott Small Library staff—Oliver Smalls, Paula Dean, Sally Funke-Lawrence, Donna Lawhon, and Su-Chen Campbell in Special Collections; Richard Syracuse, Ronald Hornbeck, Deborah Rollerson, and Marianne Read in Cataloging.  I would also like to thank Jeanne Poe, whose patience at the typewriter has brought this catalog from manuscript to book.

                                                            ++

            Two brief notes regarding the library catalog.  Where serial holdings are not given, it should be assumed that only scattered (though at times substantial in numbers) issues are to be found.  In addition to the cataloged materials, the collection contains over 1,000 reprints of articles from numerous journals in the several areas of Mr. Levi’s interests.
