Israel Mitchell manuscripts
Manuscripts
Four of these five manuscripts were written by Israel Mitchell. These include a speech about agriculture, a manuscript on religion, science and astronomy and two items about slavery. Of the latter two items, the first is a poem written circa 1860 against the institution of slavery, which mentions the abolitionist John Brown. The other is a handwritten copy of a speech Mitchell gave before the Oregon legislature in 1857 regarding both slavery and the Oregon constitution; Mitchell is arguing that Oregon should enter the United States as a free state. He also talks about abolitionists and the United States constitution. The fifth item is a group of notes on Mitchell family genealogy (with mention of Mitchell's grand-uncle Daniel Boone).
