Tom Logan letters to Maude Hurd

Manuscripts

Small group of letters includes 12 letters from Tom Logan to Maude Hurd and 1 letter from Hurd to Logan from 1884 through 1885. In Logan's letters, he describes events on the Southern Great Plains, including the dispatch of his company to help control the incursions of Euro-American settlers into lands within the Indian Territory (foreshadowing the land rushes of 1889 and 1893). They offer insight into his views of Indians and of the western landscape where he served. Additionally, they offer insights into the rituals and rhetoric of courtship. Logans' letters contain varied assertions and entreaties about the pace of his efforts, the sincerity of his feelings and the depth of his commitment. In Hurd's only letter to him, she closes the circle by her excoriation of him for having abandoned their correspondence. There is a transcript included with each letter.
