Richard Cullen White was a playwright active in San Francisco towards the end of the nineteenth century. In 1966 his grandson, Robert Lilly, an alumnus of Santa Clara University, donated his papers to the university library. This collection consists of 5 document boxes containing manuscripts of White's works, photographs, newspaper clippings, and a number of nineteenth-century printed playscripts, some by other authors. Most notable is the script for White's play Evans and Sontag, which played in the National Theatre in San Francisco in 1893-1894. It dramatizes the events upon which the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was based.
