  • Box Folder 1 the Pryce Lewis Collection Collection #6
    BOX FOLDER 1 THE PRYCE LEWIS COLLECTION COLLECTION #6 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE This collection, numbering approximately 200 items, was donated to St. Lawrence University by the St. Lawrence County Historical Association, who had received it as part of a larger collection of the papers of Harriet Schoen of Massena. It contains primary documents, correspondence, photographs and newsclippings concerning the career of Pryce Lewis, an employee of Pinkerton's Detective Agency during and after the Civil War. In addition, it contains material written by Dr. Schoen about Pryce Lewis, both for publication and as research notes. The collection provides information on an interesting episode in the Civil War and on the celebrated case of A.T. Stewart, the murdered millionaire whose corpse disappeared. Also, incidentally, it shows the frustrations of scholarship in this chronicle of Dr. Shoen's failure to find a market for her material. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Pryce Lewis was born in 1835 in Newton, Wales, where his father owned a woolen mill on the River Severn. He emigrated to the United States in 1856. During the Civil War, he was employed by Pinkerton's Detective Agency and worked as a spy for the Union in Richmond. Captured and sentenced to be hanged, he managed to escape death because of his British citizenship. After his release, he served as bailiff and special detective officer of Old Capitol and Carroll prisons until the end of the war. In 1868, he married Maria Thwaites, and they had two children, Mary, who gave her father's papers to Harriet Schoen, and Arthur, who died in early manhood.
