The green scrapbook honors both Elvis and his Momma for Gladys had originally bought her son a green scrapbook to keep news and magazine articles of stories that were unfavorable regarding his career. Elvis thought it was a good way to read up on things that he might be able to improve upon. Our version of the scrapbook posts some articles from newspapers and magazines since Elvis' death, those articles that have treated him unfavorably and articles and stories in his defense. The reason for this is to show just how cruel so-called "friends" and even some family members have been to the man who, basically, supported their lives. Greed and jealousy prompted some to go overboard with their comments and untruths, and this is a good way to show how unjust some folks have been all through the years.

Following are original stories from magazines and newspapers within the first two years following Elvis' death. You will be amazed at what many had to say about Elvis, especially those who knew him. As far as the stories of those who saw Elvis "in death," only they know what they had experienced. These articles have become part of Elvis and his history.
