Holland, Ronald E.

This collection consists of correspondence, ephemera, and research materials related to the William Monroe Morton family that were collected, arranged, and donated by a descendant of the family. This collection documents the lives of a group of family and friends through their correspondence with each other about family members, everyday life, and financial matters through the years before, during, and after the Civil War. The correspondents found in this collection were writing from many areas of the country, but primarily Missouri, Arkansas, California, Illinois, and Virginia. This series consists of the transcriptions of 55 letters contained in the collection, along with additional research materials. The transcriptions were done by the donor of the collection, and a copy has been digitized and made available on our website at, https://kchistory.org/document/sc230-william-m-morton-family-papers-tran....
