  • Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii
    RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo.

  • Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1965 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1965 Principal File was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office. It is divided into two subseries-a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of seventeen boxes of documents arranged under such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, articles, memoranda, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has thirty-seven boxes, is arranged alphabetically by name of the individuals or organizations corresponding with Eisenhower or his staff. The bulk of this subseries is correspondence, but there are also printed materials, speeches, articles, statements, memoranda, reports, transcripts, and lists. A substantial portion of the correspondence in this series deals with fairly routine and repetitive matters. In January 1965 Eisenhower attended Winston Churchill’s funeral in London and delivered a tribute to the former prime minister. There are hundreds of letters referring to this event and praising Eisenhower for his moving tribute. There are a large number of autograph requests in this series, and many of these were turned down because of the burden they placed on Eisenhower and his small staff. Invitations to speak at or visit countless events, meetings, or groups, letters and notes regarding gifts of flowers, fruit, etc., and get-well cards and letters in late 1965 are all part of this series. There are numerous letters to and from members of the West Point Class of 1915 regarding a reunion and a photo of the class.

It's January 30, 2008, and I am with my colleague, Paul Musgrave. We're in San Diego, and we both have the privilege and honor to be interviewing Ambassador Bob Ellsworth for the Nixon Oral History Program. Ambassador Ellsworth, thank you for doing this with us. Bob Ellsworth Glad to be here. Timothy Naftali I'd like to start by asking a bit about your World War II experience. You were a kid, but you did serve in the Navy, I believe. Bob Ellsworth Yes. Timothy Naftali In World War II. Tell us where you served. Bob Ellsworth Well, let me tell you a little story from 1993 that takes me back and answers your question. 1993, Bill Clinton was the new President of the United States and Jiang Zemin, the new President of China. So Clinton invited Jiang Zemin over to Washington for a state visit, and he came. And there was a state banquet in his honor at the White House one evening, but that noon, the Asia Society from New York came down and gave a big lunch for Jiang Zemin in one of the hotels in Washington, to which I was invited. And before the lunch was a VIP reception, to which I was invited, and I found myself standing next to Bob McNamara, the former Secretary of Defense. And we were just making conversation.

  • Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1968 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1968 Principal File contains the main office files of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office. The series is divided into three subseries. The first thirty-six boxes comprise a subject file arranged by categories, such as appointments, Eisenhower Center, foreign affairs, gifts, invitations, memberships, messages, political affairs, public relations, and trips. The alphabetical subseries occupies the next eleven boxes, and is arranged by the name of the individual or organization corresponding with Eisenhower. The final four boxes contain the “Bulk File” subseries, which has printed materials and oversized items. In 1968 Dwight Eisenhower suffered heart attacks in April and August, and he spent a number of months in the hospital, first at March Air Force Base in California and later at Walter Reed in Washington, D.C. His health problems greatly affected his ability to keep up his correspondence and limited the number of appointments he could keep. The series contains a large number of get-well letters and cards. Many requests for endorsements, special messages, autographs, gifts, and letters, as well as invitations to various events, were turned down by his office staff due to Eisenhower’s ill health and the limits placed on his activities by his doctors. Although Ike’s ability to travel and participate in many events was restricted by his growing health concerns, he continued to communicate with many prominent people on vital issues of the day. His correspondence frequently contains comments on U.S. foreign policy, particularly on Vietnam and the Middle East.
