Franklin Augustus Buck papers, (bulk 1846-1881)

The papers consist primarily of correspondence from 1846-1881 written by Franklin A. Buck to his sister, Mary Sewall Bradley. Most of the letters detail his life in California and Nevada between 1849-1881, and they document various floods, local and national politics, and the Civil War. The letters also illustrate the nature of frontier and pioneer life, gold and silver mining, ranching, and 19th century social life and customs in California and Nevada. The Weaverville letters also include descriptions of the local Chinese community, and the collection is dotted with comments by Buck on the California and Nevada Indians. The collection also contains five letters from Franklin to his father, Rufus A. Buck. There are also six letters to Mary Sewall Bradley from another brother, Sewall Buck, which were written from California between 1851-1854.
