Included are orders for the court martial of General Custer and drawings supposedly given to Terry by Sitting Bull. Other family members include his brother, Adrian, who also served in the Civil War, and Adrian's wife, Isadore Wright Terry, whose correspondence includes letters from her husband during the war describing his experiences. The papers of Elizabeth Howe Terry include a diary (1875) kept on an ocean voyage to Europe, while the papers of Harriet Wadsworth Terry, the second lady principal of Vassar College, are largely made up of family correspondence.

Charles Francis Adams, 1862-1943. South America Expedition Records 1904-1922.

Title: South America Expedition Records 1904-1922.

The General Accounts subseries in Series I. (Expedition Administration) contains bills, financial records, and receipts. The Reports subseries consists of what appears to be PM internal reports written by F.W. Putnam, the museum curator, and a report by expeditioon participant and patron, Louis J. de Milhau. Some of this material was later published in the PM annual reports and possibly in the Harvard University Gazette but it is unclear if these are actual drafts. Over two hundred items in Series II. (Correspondence) detail the general administration and progress of the expedition. Records documenting expedition funding, artifacts purchased and some of Farabee's professional correspondence are also included in this series. Series III-V (Field Notes, Research Notes, and Manuscripts) make up the bulk of the records and include loose sheets and notebooks, research notes (primarily notecards kept by Farabee), and the manuscript for Farabee's above mentioned monograph. Field notes are recorded in twelve notebooks kept by Farabee. In addition, there is one notebook of Campa (Campa Indians) vocabulary that was given to Farabee. The drawings and vocabulary lists in Series III (Field Notes) consist of loose material not included in the manuscript. Notecards in Series IV (Research Notes) originally consisted of two incomplete sets, one marked "copies". These have been interfiled according to subject matter. Where there are duplicates the "copies" set follows the original. Series V (Manuscripts) is incomplete and consists of material from multiple drafts of Farabee's monograph (1922).Material is arranged according to the chapter order of the monograph. Series VI consists of typescript and handwritten transcriptions and translations of contemporary newspaper articles about the expedition. Material in Series VII (Photographs) is scant and peripheral. Additional photographs can be found in the related PM Photographic Archives collection. In addition to two coated fabric maps, six typescript copies of somatological tables have been housed in Series VIII (Oversize Materials).
