SC35-4 Autograph Book Finding Aid
-
Description
-
This 89-page book of autographs does not contain the owner or compiler's name. The 244 signatures appear to have been gathered during 1867-1868. With each name is a state, and because the name of Schulyer Colfax, Speaker of the House of Representatives, appears, it is presumed the names included are United States congressional figures of the time.
