Furness-Bullitt Papers Collection 1903 Furness-Bullitt Family Papers, 1824-1967 (bulk 1852-1915) 5 boxes, 1.6 lin. feet Collection 1903 Abstract The Furness-Bullitt Family Papers chronicle the mid-nineteenth to early twentieth- century lives of two prominent Philadelphia families, related by marriage. The majority of the collection centers on two individuals: Horace Howard Furness (1833-1912) and John Christian Bullitt (1824-1902). Their families were united when Walter Rogers Furness, the eldest son of Horace Howard Furness and his wife Helen Kate (Rogers) Furness, married Helen Key Bullitt (who then became known as Helen Bullitt Furness), the daughter of John C. Bullitt and his wife Therese Langhorne Bullitt. Fairman Rogers Furness, the son of Walter Rogers Furness and Helen Bullitt Furness, also figures prominently in the collection. The papers consist primarily of family correspondence between husbands and wives, siblings, parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, and cousins. The collection also contains a considerable amount of genealogical information about both the Furness and Bullitt families, as well as other related families.

    Amy Heard Letters from the Gilded Age Transcribed, Translated, and Edited by Robert M. Gray c Copyright 2005 by Robert M. Gray This document was produced using Otfried Cheong’s Hyperlatex package. Contents Contents..................................... i Preface iii 1 Introduction 1 2 1881 5 3 1882 21 4 1884 47 5 1885 53 6 1886 71 7 1887 105 8 1888 127 9 1889 155 10 1891 159 Bibliography 162 i ii CONTENTS Preface Famous or notorious people leave tracks through history that are easy to follow. Their letters and writings are avidly preserved and they are much written about by others. The persistant biographer need only visit libraries and fam- ily or historical society collections to piece together the details of the person’s life. Simply because the person was or is famous is usually sufficient motivation to make the effort to understand and describe their life, even if it has been done repeatedly before. In contrast, people who do not have a profound impact on their contempory general public can fade with time, leaving only a few family anecdotes and pho- tographs for their grandchildren Amy Heard in Washington and great grandchildren. Occa- sionally, however, such fameless people do leave enough traces in the forms of letters, notes, and journals to permit a determined researcher to piece together bits of their life years later, but the motivation to do so is usually lacking unless the person lost in the past is of particular interest to the sleuth of the present. As an obvious example, the life of ancestors is often of strong interest to a descendent who never knew them and knows little about them.

  • The Grand Tour of Europe
    The Grand Tour of Europe Taking a “Grand Tour of Europe” was common practice for young, wealthy men, and even some women, during the 17th century until the mid-19th century. Such travel excursions sometimes even included areas in the Middle East, Africa, or the Far East. Many “Grand Tour” travelers kept records of their trips in journals or diaries noting their experiences seeing new things or meeting new people. Primary Sources: Atherton Blight papers Atherton Blight attended school in Philadelphia, graduated from Harvard and admitted to the Pennsylvania bar, and spent much of his adult life in Newport, R.I., and in Europe. His papers comprise a book of travel expenses, 1849, 1856-1858, and a travel diary, 1855-1856, of a Grand Tour to the Continent, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Turkey, Crimea, and Greece. In Jerusalem, he visited Warder Cresson, a former Quaker from Philadelphia who had converted to Judaism and was an early Zionist. Blight also describes the battlefields and veterans of the Crimean War.

The Society's manuscript holdings at that time were estimated to be 2,500,000 items, contained in 1,141 listed collections. Within the last decade, these holdings have increased approximately 60%, so that now some 4,000,000 items are to be found in 1,609 collec- tions. Furthermore, whereas in 1940 only 30% of the manuscripts were arranged for ready use by students, today 98% are so arranged. During the past ten years, we have also made every effort to improve the manuscript catalogue which has grown from 200,000 to 500,000 cards. In spite of this tremendous increase, the number of items covered by each card has been reduced from 12.5 in 1940 to 8.0 at present. This represents real progress, but much work remains to be done. Excluding our holdings of foreign manuscripts, which number some 200,000 items of considerable importance, our collections deal primarily with Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.
