William P. Fuller scrapbook
Manuscripts
A scrapbook kept by William P. Fuller of letters, photographs, and newspaper clippings covering the years 1863-1899. The autograph letters are by G.T. Beauregard (April 20, 1886), John G. Nicolay (April 18, 1887), Lydia Howard Sigourney (March 14, 1863), Mark Twain (January 23, 1869), Charles D. Warner (May 12, 1887), and John L. Worden (May 16, 1887). The photographs include, among others, the conjoined twins Chang and Eng Bunker, known as the "Siamese twins," Mr. & Mrs. General Tom Thumb, and Edgar Allan Poe (none of the photographs are dated). The newspaper clippings include poems and various articles but the majority of the clippings are newspaper columns written by William P. Fuller. Included are columns about Abraham Lincoln (no date), Andersonville prison (October 19, 1880), and Lewis G. Clarke (no date); there is also a long series of columns from August 1883 about a journey west Fuller took that included Missouri, Yellowstone, Oregon and Washington. The scrapbook was disbound by the Huntington Conservation department in 2019 and each page, some with inserted pieces, was placed in individual folders; the original covers were retained and the material is in fair condition though some pages are brittle and darkened due to age and glue.
