Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library Finding Aid for Series Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library Finding Aid for Series III: Unpublished Materials The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant Collection January 1, 1874 – December 31, 1876 Finding Aid Created: October 8, 2020 Searching Instructions for Series III: Unpublished Materials, of the Papers of Ulysses S. Grant Collection When searching for names in Series III: Unpublished Materials of the Papers of Ulysses S. Grant Collection, the researcher must take note of the manner in which the Papers of Ulysses Grant editorial project maintained its files. Names of individuals who often corresponded with, for, or about General Grant were shortened to their initials for the sake of brevity. In most instances, these individuals will be found by searching for their initials (however, this may not always be the case; searching the individual’s last name may yield additional results). The following is a list of individuals who appear often in the files, and, as such, will be found by searching their initials: Arthur, Chester Alan CAA Jones, Joseph Russell JRJ Babcock, Orville Elias (Aide) OEB Lagow, Clark B.

  • Yale Men As Writers on Law and Government
    YALE LAW JOURNAL VOL. XI NOVEMBER, 19o No. i YALE MEN AS WRITERS ON LAW AND GOVERNMENT. An American bar was not really in existence before the Revolu- tion. Great causes in which the colonists were interested were oc- casionally argued at Westminster or before the King in Council, but they were generally in the hands of English barristers. One of the first American lawyers who ever argued before the latter tribunal* was William Samuel Johnson of Connecticut (Yale, Class of 1744), a silver-tongued orator, and one of the Committee on Style, which put the constitution of the United States in its final form, but who has left no published works to perpetuate his name.t His appear- ance was in the Mohegan case, involving important landed inter- ests in Connecticut, heard at London in 1767, and he had been made, the year before, a Doctor of Civil Law by the University of Oxford. There could be no legal literature in America until our law took a shape of its own, and came to be cultivated as a science. To this Independence opened the door. $ Removing the possibility of any appel from American to English tribunals, it gave the lawyers of that day a fair field to work out an orderly system of jurisprudence, *Beardsley, Life and Times of William Samuel Johnson, 47. tHis dispatches as Colonial Agent at London for Connecticut, to its gov- ernor, which are published in the Trumbull Papersby the Massachusetts His- torical Society, show great power of observation and judgment. tSee Two Centuries' Growth of American Law, 13, 17.

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

  • Maggie Cameron: the Forgotten Daughter of Simon Cameron
    Created by Laura Kuchmay One of the most famous men in Pennsylvania’s political history, General Simon Cameron, was known as having been an United States Senator, Secretary of War for the Lincoln administration, and Minister to Russia, but is not usually known as having been father to ten children. What is not mentioned in most biographies of Simon Cameron is the fact that he had a daughter named Margaretta “Maggie” Cameron who bore witness to the political events of her influential father in the shadows of a male dominated society which restricted its women to the backgrounds. The Millersville University Archives and Special Collections came into possession of two diaries of Maggie Cameron’s through an auction; one written during the summer of 1857 and another written during the summer of 1862. The diary written during the summer of 1857 chronicles Maggie Cameron’s travels throughout Europe. Maggie and her traveling party traveled around England, Belgium, Holland, Germany, France, Ireland, and Scotland. Most of their time was spent either sight seeing, shopping, or visiting friends who were either living at the time in Europe or touring Europe like themselves. While sight seeing, Maggie would describe in her diary everything they saw that day in great detail whether is was a museum or castle or simply a carriage ride through a local park. The first diary was written during the summer of 1857 in which she chronicles their travels throughout Europe. Maggie’s traveling companions included her sister-in-law Mary McCormick Cameron, Dr. and Mrs. McClintock, May Cummings, Mr.

  • The Political Career of Stephen W
    37? N &/J /V z 7 PORTRAIT OF AN AGE: THE POLITICAL CAREER OF STEPHEN W. DORSEY, 1868-1889 DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Sharon K. Lowry, M.A. Denton, Texas May, 19 80 @ Copyright by Sharon K. Lowry 1980 Lowry, Sharon K., Portrait of an Age: The Political Career of Stephen W. Dorsey, 1868-1889. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May, 1980, 447 pp., 6 tables, 1 map, bibliography, 194 titles. The political career of Stephen Dorsey provides a focus for much of the Gilded Age. Dorsey was involved in many significant events of the period. He was a carpetbagger during Reconstruction and played a major role in the Compromise of 1877. He was a leader of the Stalwart wing of the Republican party, and he managed Garfield's 1880 presidential campaign. The Star Route Frauds was one of the greatest scandals of a scandal-ridden era, and Dorsey was a central figure in these frauds. Dorsey tried to revive his political career in New Mexico after his acquittal in the Star Route Frauds, but his reputation never recovered from the notoriety he received at the hands of the star route prosecutors. Like many of his contemporaries in Gilded Age politics, Dorsey left no personal papers which might have assisted a biographer. Sources for this study included manuscripts in the Library of Congress and the New Mexico State Records Center and Archives in Santa Fe; this study also made use of newspapers, records in the National Archives, congressional investigations of Dorsey printed in the reports and documents of the House and Senate, and the transcripts of the star route trials.
