William Eve papers, (bulk 1880-1891)
Manuscripts
This small group of items consists of letters, sketches, photographs, a photograph album and ephemera (and are arranged in that manner, then chronologically). The majority of these items deal with Eve's railroad trip from New York to Salt Lake City and his time in Salt Lake City, Ibapah, and Gold Hill, Tooele County, Utah as well as Soda Springs, Idaho. In Eve's letters, which are written to his parents, he details his trip West including a tragic collision with a wagon that killed men and horses, the scenery he passes, and his arrival in Salt Lake City. He also talks about mining, sheep herding, farming, seeing the boxer Jim Corbett fight, the Blackfeet (Siksika) Indians and life in the West. Throughout all of his letters, which he is writing to entice his family to also come to America, Eve compares America and its people to England and its people. His sketches include things he sees in the West such as several American Indians, a miner's drill, a coyote, scorpion, and a locust. One of his letters contains a small panorama drawing of Gold Hill, Utah. The collection contains several notes and sketches from Eve's time in London. There are also three letters to William Eve by his sister Elizabeth Eve; these are written from New York City in the early 20th century. The photographs are of Eve family members around the turn of the century. The photograph album contains photographs from a flood in Salt Lake City in 1926 and some pictures of the family camping. The ephemera is a 1959 issue of the Utah American Legion's publication "Utah Legionnaire."
