Manuscripts

The collection contains correspondence, notebooks, manuscripts, land tracts, scrapbooks, cartes-de-visites and ephemera.

Half of the correspondence deals with the Pioneer (Donner) Monument, which was financed by the Native Sons of the Golden West. Correspondence also includes letters by C.F. McGlashan, Patty Reed Lewis, and seven letters by Tamsen Donner. A letter from Eliza to "My Children" was written immediately after her visit with John Baptiste Trudeau. There is an incomplete handwritten draft of The expedition of the Donner Party and its tragic fate.
