Sauk City's native son, August Derleth, continues to be Wisconsin's most prolific author more than 35 years after his death.  With forty newly discovered manuscripts still to be published, added to Derleth's 150 books already in print, his place in American literature continues to evolve and grow.

The ADS is dedicated to the promotion of August Derleth's work and the preservation of his memory.
