The Lost Writings of Francis Parker Yockey

347 words
Dr. Kerry Bolton is working on a new biography of Francis Parker Yockey. He is also editing a collection of Yockey’s shorter writings — essays, notes, letters, etc. — for Counter-Currents. He needs your help.
- Yockey published a newsletter called Frontfighter (or Front Fighter) in the 1940s and 1950s. Virtually every issue seems to be lost. Does anyone have copies of this newsletter?
- Yockey in all likelihood ghost-wrote a pamphlet for Fred Weiss on Arnold Toynbee called Hang On and Pray. Yockey may have written other works for Weiss as well. Does anyone have copies of such works?
- Yockey spoke at the Christian Nationalist Party convention in St. Louis in June 1952. It is possible that his speech and other writings appeared in their periodical The Cross and the Flag. Does anyone have access to old issues of The Cross and the Flag?
- James Warner printed an article by Yockey on China as a pamphlet. Does anyone have a collection of Warner’s old pamphlets?
- Does anyone have letters by Francis Parker Yockey, photographs of Francis Parker Yockey, or unpublished writings about Yockey by people who knew him?
- Yockey published articles on Mosleyite publications in the late 1940s. He may have published in other Rightist publications between the late 1940s and his death in 1960. He sometimes used the pen names Ulick Varange and Frank Healey. Other articles appeared with the byline F.P.Y.
-
Yockey, “Europe’s Honor and Kurt Meyer” (appeared in Front Fighter)
-
Yockey, “Handbook on Imperialism” (3 pp.)
-
Yockey, “Spengler and the Western Imperium” (60 pp.)
-
Yockey, “Why the Americans Did Not Go To Berlin”
-
Yockey, “The Possibilities of Germany”
- Yockey or Varange, “The Common Man,” Christian Vanguard, late 1970s (may be an excerpt from Imperium)
- There were also reviews of or comments on Imperium by J. F. C. Fuller, B. H. Liddell Hart, and Oswald Pirow.
If you have access to any of such items, or if you know someone who does, we will gladly pay all duplication and mailing costs to obtain copies. Please contact me at [email protected].
Dr. Bolton and I — and history in general — would be in your debt.

I don’t know.
Mr. Johnson,
Since you are in San Fransisco, try the TV stations and the newspapers in that area. As I recall from DREAMER OF THE DAY, Yockey was very definitely filmed and photographed extensively as he was being moved from one facility to another. Best, Timothy
Strength and honor,
Courage and conviction,
Imperium!
Has Bolton consulted Library of Congress? Do any of the major academic libraries have extensive collections of rightist materials? I would contact those who do and try to establish a working relationship with the relevant people there. But then again crowd sourcing may be a good way to go as well. Problem is that much of the once-extant material was owned by people mostly long dead, and disposed of (or more hopefully ignored) by descendants. Good luck! It is a noble project, and Mr Bolton is a worthy contractor.
Michael Collins Piper sometimes read some old stuff from that era (apparently from his personal collection) on his radio show.
One lesser known thing. He had two daughters, Brunhilde and Isolde, evidently twins both born in 1944.

For what became of his family, I looked it up and discovered his daughter Brunhilde Yockey attended Rice University; given her unusual name and the timing I am pretty sure it’s her. See the 5th line of the 5th column of this February 19, 1964 publication.

Anyone have access to old Rice yearbooks? There should be a picture of her, perhaps more, in the 1967 edition if she graduated in four years. In fact, there’s a good chance she is STILL LIVING, but I found nothing on that; it’d be great to see what field she went into.
On a family note, here is a 1957 newspaper picture of his daughter, Brunhilde Yockey, playing harpsichord in her teenage years, in case Dr. Bolton desires to detail his family’s history as well.

It’s nice to see she inherited her father’s talent for keyed instruments.
Please pass along this source, it is very large and comprehensive –
