Timothy Francis Leary, clinical psychologist and Harvard professor, became an advocate for the use of psychedelic drugs and a counterculture icon after conducting experiments with psilocybin mushrooms and LSD. The collection consists of fifty letters from Leary to his childhood friend and classmate, William Scanlon. The letters span Leary's late high school years through his enrollment at the United States Military Academy at West Point, his studies at the University of Alabama, and his subsequent enlistment in the United States Army. Also included is one undated letter to "Rosemary," ostensibly Rosemary Woodruff, Leary's fourth wife. less
