Biographical Note/Historical Note +/-Ammon Ashford Hennacy was born in 1893 in Negley, Ohio, to Benjamin and Lida Fitz-Randolph Hennacy. He married Selma Melms in 1919, they were divorced in 1964, and then he married Joan Thomas. Hennacy was a "Christian-anarchist-pacifist" (as he called himself) who never paid taxes or went to war. He was a conscientious objector in both world wars, and a lifelong anti-war activist. He wrote two books, The Book of Ammon (1965) and The One-Man Revolution in America (1970). Ammon Hennacy died on 14 January 1970. Content Description +/-The Ammon Hennacy papers (1823-1970, bulk 1945-1970) comprise the personal papers and publications of Hennacy (1893-1970) best known for his work in operating the Joe Hill Hospitality House for transients in Salt Lake City, Utah. Included are correspondence from his daughters, letters to Hennacy's wife, Joan Thomas, from her family, and letters from friends in sympathy of Hennacy's death. Also included are marriage, birth, baptism, and divorce certificates, as well as Hennacy's posters, flyers, and articles against war. Anti-war materials by people other than Hennacy are also included. Also present in the collection are the original manuscript for Hennacy's book, The One-Man Revolution in America (1970), which was published posthumously; scrapbooks of news clippings from 1951 to 1966; and drawings and paintings by Joan Thomas.
