Personal Writings

 Series
Identifier: 23

Scope and Contents

The Personal Writings Series consists primarily of Mrs. Caperton's handwritten manuscripts and more formal typed essays. The subjects range from the natural world to various topics in World, European, and American culture. Even though she authored most items there are essays and manuscripts from most Caperton/Burnam family members, including Jamie, Caperton and Rollins Burnam, and Col. Caperton and Minerva Russel Jennings. Those essays or writings that were not created by Mrs. Caperton are duly noted as such.
