JAMES O. EASTLAND COLLECTION FILE SERIES 1: PERSONAL/POLITICAL SUBSERIES 3: PLANTATION RECORDS The three boxes that comprise the Plantation Records subseries contain the records of Eastland’s plantation outside of Doddsville in Sunflower County, Mississippi. The records are organized in chronologically from the 1930s through 1978. Most of the early materials are reports to Eastland in Washington on the daily running of the plantation, such as information on the weather and plantation supplies. The files also contain ledgers recording the plantation’s expenses, including monthly ledgers confirming workers’ wages on the plantation. A compelling aspect of this subseries is its rarity. While several collections exist on plantations in the nineteenth century, records from the more recent past are less available to scholars. These files also provide an opportunity to trace changes in plantation operations from the late 1930s through the Civil Rights Era to the late 1970s. At the end of the series is a large folder dedicated completely to correspondence and material on Charolais cattle, a particular interest of the senator’s. BOX 1: 1935-1949 Folder 1-1.
