Manuscripts

In this letter on Huntington Hotel letterhead, Ayer gives a brief summary of history of how John Rains married the daughter of Chino Rancho owner Isaac Williams and acquired the Cucamonga Rancho and Robert Carlisle married the other daughter and acquired the Chino Rancho. The remainder of the letter concerns a chance meeting with then Corporal Ayer, Company E, Ist California Cavalry and Robert Carlisle when Ayers was ordered to retrieve some horses in the winter of 1862. When Ayers returned to camp, he was ordered to ride to Santa Monica where along the way he met John Rains at at Mission San Gabriel.

Griffin, A. Letter to J. D. (Jonathan D.) Hale

Manuscripts

The voluminous correspondence, notebooks, affidavits, eyewitness testimonies, and published pamphlets of the family of Jonathan D. Hale contain a wealth of previously unknown information about the Civil War in Tennessee and Kentucky, including the organization of Unionist communities; womens contributions to the war effort; guerrilla warfare; the fate of Unionists' slaves; Reconstruction in East Tennessee and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan; and complicated and bitter politics of veterans' affairs in the wake of the Civil War. The letters, orders, reports, and communications written during Hale's services with General George H. Thomas (1816-1870) is a unique resource for historians of Civil War civilian scouts and guides, a topic that remains largely unexplored.
