Abraham Lincoln became another favorite subject of Conkle's, and the play \"Prologue to Glory\" (1938), a fictionalized account of Lincoln's formative years in New Salem, was chosen for production by the Federal Theatre Project and performed across the United States in 1938-1939.

The collection's poems and other writings were written by multiple authors, with some listing no author, and the single pencil sketch portrait is signed and dated 1945 and likely depicts Major Steffler.","The two scrapbooks that were gifted to Major Steffler feature photographs from camp theatre productions, many of which feature male prisoners cross-dressing for the women's roles. Each of these also include dedications to the \"Battalion Commander,\" with one indicating on the first page it was given as a Christmas and New Year's present. The other includes a dedication written inside the front cover indicating it was given in celebration of his \"55th\" birthday on March 14, 1946 (based on his date of birth this is likely an error as Steffler would only have been 53 in 1946). The additional loose photographs include more images of prisoners in theatrical costumes, as well as documenting daily life in the camp, including images of the prisoners working in a vineyard, and images of the life of German military officers during WWII, including formal military portraits. The collection also includes a single professional portrait of Steffler in his German World War I military uniform taken in 1915."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe copyright and related rights status of this collection have not been evaluated (See http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/CNE/1.0/)\u003c/p\u003e  "],"userestrict_heading_ssm":["Use Restrictions"],"userestrict_tesim":["The copyright and related rights status of this collection have not been evaluated (See http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/CNE/1.0/)"],"abstract_html_tesm":["\u003cabstract id=\"aspace_258f64da4b6a6e4296d219e46f080d56\"\u003eA collection of photographs, scrapbooks, correspondence, newsletters, and other ephemera collected by German soldier Major Traugott Steffler primarily during his time in an American-run Prisoner-of-War camp near Naples, Italy following World War II.\u003c/abstract\u003e\n    "],"abstract_tesim":["A collection of photographs, scrapbooks, correspondence, newsletters, and other ephemera collected by German soldier Major Traugott Steffler primarily during his time in an American-run Prisoner-of-War camp near Naples, Italy following World War II."],"physloc_html_tesm":["\u003cphysloc id=\"aspace_cc55b2fc0ac0f7b9949eebc829adb4da\"\u003eR 73, C 2, S 3\u003c/physloc\u003e\n    "],"physloc_tesim":["R 73, C 2, S 3"],"corpname_ssim":["George Mason University.
