1864-1867

Manuscripts

A collection of 225 items from 1864 to 1897, which consists chiefly of letters to and from Swett's wife, Laura R. Swett, and son, Leonard Herbert Swett. The early letters have passing references to Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, and Swett's dealings in the cotton trade during the Civil War. The later letters describe Leonard Herbert Swett's participation in the U.S. Geological Survey of the Utah Plateau Region under Captain Clarence E. Dutton in 1880 and his later work for the XIT Ranch in 1886 during the formative period of Western Texas. Because the Swetts were also friends of General and Mrs. George A. Custer, passing references to them appear throughout the collection.
