  • JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The
    JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The Personnel Series, consisting of approximately 17,900 pages, is comprised of three subseries, an alphabetically arranged Chiefs of Mission Subseries, an alphabetically arranged Special Liaison Staff Subseries and a Chronological Subseries. The entire series focuses on appointments and evaluations of ambassadors and other foreign service personnel and consideration of political appointees for various posts. The series is an important source of information on the staffing of foreign service posts with African- Americans, Jews, women, and individuals representing various political constituencies. Frank assessments of the performances of many chiefs of mission are found here, especially in the Chiefs of Mission Subseries and much of the series reflects input sought and obtained by Secretary Dulles from his staff concerning the political suitability of ambassadors currently serving as well as numerous potential appointees. While the emphasis is on personalities and politics, information on U.S. relations with various foreign countries can be found in this series. The Chiefs of Mission Subseries totals approximately 1,800 pages and contains candid assessments of U.S. ambassadors to certain countries, lists of chiefs of missions and indications of which ones were to be changed, biographical data, materials re controversial individuals such as John Paton Davies, Julius Holmes, Wolf Ladejinsky, Jesse Locker, William D. Pawley, and others, memoranda regarding Leonard Hall and political patronage, procedures for selecting career and political candidates for positions, discussions of “most urgent problems” for ambassadorships in certain countries, consideration of African-American appointees, comments on certain individuals’ connections to Truman Administration, and lists of personnel in Secretary of State’s office.

    Collection 46 Willis, Edwin E. (1904-1972). Papers, 1949-1969 149 feet, 7 inches; 20 volumes Edwin Edward Willis was born 2 October 1904 in Arnaudville, Louisiana. He was the eleventh child of Olanda Willis and Julia Harding. In 1929, he married Estelle Bulliard, and they had one son. In 1926, Willis received his law degree from Loyola University in New Orleans. He practiced law in St. Martinville, and was a strong supporter of the Long Party. In 1948 Willis was elected to Congress from the 3rd Louisiana Congressional District as a Democrat. He remained in the House of Representatives until 1969. He served as a member of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) from 1955-1963, and was chairman from 1963-1969. He was a strong supporter of HUAC and a rigid anti-communist. He felt that the Civil Rights and anti-Vietnam War movements of the 1960s were communist inspired. However, he also opposed the anti-civil rights activities of the Ku Klux Klan and consistently endorsed Democratic candidates for president. While in Congress, Willis sought subsidies for sugar planters, federal funding for the Morganza Spillway, and federal royalty payments to Louisiana from the tidelands oil. Willis suffered a series of strokes in 1966, and his poor health contributed to his defeat by Patrick Caffery in the 1968 Democratic primary. He died 16 October 1972. This collection contains extensive Congressional office records including correspondence, photographs, press releases, reports, scrapbooks and other materials. Almost all series contain constituent correspondence. Series: A. General Congressional Correspondence 1-01 thru 88-07; 128-01 and 128-02; 245-01 thru 245-05 1.

The French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle named the region Louisiana in 1682 to honor France’s King Louis XIV. The first permanent settlement, Fort Maurepas (at what is now Ocean Springs, Mississippi, near Biloxi), was founded in 1699 by Pierre PageLe Moyne d’Iberville, a French military officerSans from Souci BuildingCanada. Prior to November 1762, when France ceded territory rights of Louisiana to Spain, the Attakapas Region was mostly inhabited by Native Americans of the Attakapa-Ishak and Chitimacha tribes. There were only a sparse number of traders, ranchers and smugglers of European descent. Catholic Church records indicate that Acadians arrived in New Orleans in early 1764. Their family names were Cormier, Landry, Poirier, Olivier, Brazier, Richard, Deville, Degoutin, Coutrie, and others. Some moved on to find fertile land in the Attakapas region and beyond. Others settled along the Mississippi River west of New Orleans. In early 1765, there were 4 families of Acadians, a total of 21 people, who settled on the western Attakapas frontier, and shortly thereafter 37 more Acadians arrived.

My wife Frances has urged me to continue with a narrative of the rest of my life as a family record. I do so because I would like to have a similar account of the lives of my Puritan and pioneer ancestors. I'm aware that anyone writing a personal piece of this kind is bound to try to present himself in the most favorable light. In order to try to offset this tendency, I have given as truthful an account of my life as I can. I have also quoted the views of State Department officials in controversial phases of my career. Readers can judge for themselves. It is evident that a person with my background and lack of formal training could not easily fit into an ideal, conventional, well disciplined Foreign Service.

Charles Duval Caffery, Jefferson’s father, was a very respected individual in the Lafayette community and made a name for himself early on in his career as an attorney, mayor of Lafayette for two consecutive terms, and president of the Lafayette parish board of education (“Charles Duval Caffery”). Compared to the successes of his father, Jefferson Caffery had large shoes to fill, but he fell nothing short of expectations maintaining the title of longest serving ambassador in the history of the United States diplomatic service to this day (University https://cafferycollection.wordpress.com/lifebeforeambassador/[3/3/2020 4:02:19 PM] Life Before Ambassador – Ambassador Jefferson Caffery (1886-1974): Latin American Posts of Louisiana at Lafayette). Caffery served in the diplomatic service for a total of forty- four years with twenty-nine of those years spent in ambassadorships to six different countries (University of Louisiana at Lafayette). Caffery was a native of Lafayette and belonged to one of the most prestigious families in south Louisiana, which was a great advantage when he began to apply for entry into the consular service in 1910; he was just twenty-four years old at the time (Edwin B.
