Reminiscences by Bishop Tuttle of his mission days in Utah, Idaho and Montana

Manuscripts

This typescript of Tuttle's reminiscences is the not the same as the text he had published in 1906. This account, which is much shorter in length, focuses upon Tuttle's stagecoach journey west to Salt Lake City, including a stop in Denver, and his experience traveling in the West while he was Bishop of Montana, Idaho, and Utah. He talks about specific stagecoach drivers and employees of Wells, Fargo & Company, and tells stories about stagecoach robberies and accidents. This account also includes Tuttle's meeting with Brigham Young shortly after he arrived in Salt Lake City in 1867

Reminiscences: Dr. Hale: newspaper clipping

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.
