I just found this:
http://www.library.ucsb.edu/special-collections/collections/s_z_guides
Tallant [Mildred Cooley] Papers, ca. 1920s-1950s. Correspondence, diaries,
photographas, poems, scrapbook, Sierra Club trip notes, and other material
relating to Santa Barbara resident and author Mildred Cooley Tallant.
(SBHC Mss 66).
I'll see what I can find out about it.
