R. L. Steen to William R. Morgan
Manuscripts
The collection contains 260 pieces, including ephemera. The bulk of the material is correspondence; however, there are a few business records and legal documents throughout the collection. Most of the letters in this collection were written to Morgan after he had moved back to Vermont. His partners are writing to keep him apprised of business matters. The majority of the correspondence deals with the legal problems the Sierra Union Water and Mining Company was facing due to the hydraulic mining process. Some specific subjects discussed in these letters are: hydraulic mining, lawsuits, mining law, mining claims, claim jumpers, water rights, mining equipment, abandoned mines, and land disputes. Many of the letters are written from or related to San Francisco, St. Louis, Sierra County, and Marysville, California.
