Pages : 40
Book Description
"The 70,000 items in the personal papers of Douglas Southall Freeman (1886-1953) span the years 1902 to 1954 with the bulk of the material dating after 1934. The papers relate to nearly all of Dr. Freeman's activities other than his work as newspaper editor. The greater portion of the papers relate to his speeches, articles, lectures, and particularly to his books. There are manuscripts of many of his speeches and articles and nearly complete manuscripts and working papers for all of his major writings, including his biographies of Robert E. Lee and George Washington. ... Particularly interesting to the historian is Dr. Freeman's collection of transcripts, photostats, maps and original sources which he used in the writing of his books."-- p. 2.

Georgia Civil War Manuscript Collections
Author: David H. SlayPublisher: University of Alabama Press
ISBN: 0817317449
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
This book provides historians and genealogists with a one-stop guide to every Civil War–related manuscript collection stored in Georgia’s many repositories. With this guide in hand, researchers will no longer spend countless hours pouring through online catalogs, emailing archivists, and wondering if they have exhausted every lead in their pursuit of firsthand information about the war and the experiences of those who lived through and were impacted by it. In assembling the first state-specific bibliography to be compiled since the Indiana and Illinois bibliographies were assembled for the Civil War Centennial in the 1960s, David Slay has expanded the scope of this survey to include works relating to women, African Americans, and social history, as well as the letters and diaries of soldiers who fought in the war, reflecting society’s evolving understanding and interest in this defining period of American life. In addition, this compilation is not confined to material produced from 1861 to 1865, but also includes collections spanning the lives of prominent Civil War figures, making it an invaluable source for biographers. Organized by institution, Georgia Civil War Manuscript Collections has many time-saving features, all designed to increase efficiency of research. Each collection description contains the title and catalog number used in the holding institution. Where possible, collection descriptions have been improved upon, providing the researcher with information beyond what is listed in the holding institution’s card catalog and finding aid. It also cross-references duplicate collections that are held in two or more institutions as microfilm or photocopies. Simply put, Georgia Civil War Manuscript Collections takes the mystery out of Civil War research in Georgia.
The Catacazy Affair and the Uneasy Path of Russian-American Relations
Author: Lee A. FarrowPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350107190
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Constantin Catacazy whipped up scandal in Washington after his appointment there as Russian Ambassador in 1869, ignoring diplomatic protocol and defying social mores. By 1871, President Grant and his Cabinet requested that he be recalled. But the timing of this request overlapped with the visit of the tsar's son to the USA - a celebrated diplomatic event symbolising the friendship and good will between the two nations. Consequently, Catacazy was allowed to travel with the tsar's son, but only as a persona non grata. This tense resolution led many to worry about the future of the Russian-American friendship. With a keen sense of the human interest, Lee A. Farrow demonstrates that this affair was one of the earliest significant complications in the relationship between Russia and the USA. Using a lively micro-historical approach and fresh materials such as the letters of Catacazy and of Secretary of State Hamilton Fish from archives in the USA, UK and Russia, Farrow explores 19th-century politics and diplomacy, and the pre-suffrage power of women in the political arena through an investigation of the Washington wives' reactions to the controversial figure of Olga Catacazy. The result is a cutting-edge analysis of this pivotal episode in modern history.
