The collection contains source material about Edward Fitzgerald Beale (1822-1893) which was gathered by Laurence R. Cook and later by Andrew F. Rolle. It contains original manuscripts which date from 1940-1983 (mainly student theses), correspondence (1951-1983), notes, copies of other materials, audiotapes, photographs, and microfilm. Subjects represented in the collection include: Beale's role in the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army Camel Corps, Decatur House (Washington, D.C.), exploration of the Southwest and establishment of roads, Tej칩n Ranch, Fort Tej칩n, cattleman Henry Miller, and George R. Gliddon. There are also two negatives of a photograph of Navy Admiral David Dixon Porter. There is also a microfilm copy of correspondence by Stephen Mallory White, as well as letters from Beale to James K. Polk and John M. Clayton. There are also letters that came from the Robert Todd Lincoln collection of the papers of Abraham Lincoln and a letterbook kept by Robert F. Stockton.
