New Voices of the Southwest 233 (Dallas: Tardy Publishing Co., 1934) [In the New Voices of the Southwest biographical entry we are told that Doughty published a volume of original verse, as well as translations of the poetry of Heinrich Heine, and had ready for publication (at the time of the bio), a volume of literary criticism. We find no such publications for Leonard Doughty in OCLC.] [Florence Elberta Barns, in Texas Writers of Today 157 (Dallas: Tardy Publishing Co., 1935) notes that Doughty also lived in California and that his verse was published in Poetry: A Magazine of Verse.)
