Crawford, Thomas P., (d.1858). Papers, 1829-1864.

Title: Papers, 1829-1864.

This collection contains letters, a receipt, funeral notice, a form of list or return, and a political speech. Of special interest are the three letters, written by Mary and Thomas P. Crawford, during the latter's tenure in the State legislature. The correspondence provides a brief glimpse of the Ala. legislative process. The speech, written by Crawford presumably for public presentation, places the creation of the United States into political historical context. There are also two items of Civil War interest, belonging to James W. Crawford. The first is a receipt for the purchase of shoes for the company of the "Bibb Greys" and secondly, a list of how much pork the Crawford family owed the Confederate government.

Diary, 1852-1853.

Title: Diary, 1852-1853.

Opens on Sept. 23, 1852 in New York City and ends on March 5, 1853 in the hills of Italy. The writer sailed to England on the Southampton, stayed in London for ten days, went to France--chiefly Paris--for a month, and finished his tour in central Italy, staying there for three months. Comments on the ocean voyage include passages on the activities of fellow-travelers, other ships passed en route, weather conditions, latitudinal and longitudinal positions during the journey, the sighting of leaping porpoises, and other unexpected events. In London, the writer and his companion, Davenport, visited several attractions: the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, the British Museum, the National Gallery, Hyde Park, and Madame Tussaud's Gallery. In Paris, the diarist went to the Tuileries, the Louvre, the Pantheon, the Palaces of Luxembourg and Versailles, and the Hotel Cluny. He also promenaded on the boulevards and squares of the city, saw the emperor, attended impressive religious services, and visited the Gobelin Tapestry Works. He described the many churches of Paris in some detail. (He may have copied descriptions from guidebooks). He commented on the character of the French, noting that they were people of taste. In Italy, the diarist spent most of his time in Naples and Rome. While the classical sites in and around Naples were of great interest, the plethora of beggars seemed to interest him almost as much. In Rome, he attended Christmas mass in St. Peters, visited the Coliseum, the Sistine Chapel, the Baths of Diocletion, the Vatican Museum, and other places of historical and religious interest. Additionally, the diarist went to Genoa, Pompeii, and Pozznoli; traveled the Apian Way; and wound up in the mountains near Florence. During the journey, he went to the studios of many artists, including Thomas Crawford.
