Curtis Field Burnam Scrapbook #2, 1851-1892

This portion of the second scrapbook contains pages 45-103. It contains correspondence from statesman, educators, and friends spanning a variety of topics. Most of the topics included reference political issues in the nation as well as Kentucky, and there are others that are merely personal greetings. A handwritten summary of positions held by Curtis Burnam, poetry clips from the newspaper, invitations to commencement exercises at Georgetown University and the University of Louisville law dept., an invitation and ticket to a reception in Louisville for President and Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes, a wedding announcement for Curtis's son Thompson, national census totals from 1880 along with national debt totals of the same year, and an advertisement for a book about Yale College's history are among the contents within the portion. Each entry is separated by tissue paper for protection.
