Manigault, Gabriel, 1809-1888. Gabriel Manigault papers, 1834-1873.

Title: Gabriel Manigault papers, 1834-1873.

Papers consist of correspondence (1834-1873), journals and notebooks (1836-1861), and miscellaneous items. Correspondence of 1860 includes a letter addressed to Manigault and others from Robert Toombs about secession; a letter from Maxcy Gregg about the upcoming Secession Convention; and letters from Manigault to Col. James Chesnut concerning the condition of South Carolina's armaments and the prospect of war, which Manigault considers likely: "I myself believe secession to be a peaceful right, yet am convinced that the people of the North know too well the money value of the cotton states to them to let us go without a struggle." There is also a letter of condolence from Gabriel Manigault to his brother Arthur M. Manigault concerning the death of his daugher Lina in 1860. A letter of Dec. 20,1860, addressed to "our chief magistrate," proposes a plan for taking possession of the forts in Charleston harbor, and is signed by a citizen who calls himself "Hannibal." A contemporary copy of a letter (Jan. 22, 1861) to Gen. D.F. Jamison details Manigault's recommendations for the construction of batteries at Cummings Point. Wartime letters, some written from McClellanville and Romney Plantation, concern Manigault's urgent advice about the importance of keeping Confederate forces on Morris Island, fortifications in Charleston harbor (especially at Cummings Point), the necessity of defending the Georgetown, S.C., area, his wife's activities as a refugee at Wright's Bluff (Clarendon District, S.C.), difficulties in obtaining clothing for their slaves, and Manigault's military service in the reserves in the last months of the war. A letter (Dec. 19, 1864) from Manigault at Harrietta [Plantation] states that there are hardly any men in the parish (St. James Santee) for local defense. Two postwar letters (1866, 1869) written from Yorkville, S.C., describe the dire agricultural and social conditions in the state, and mention Manigault's plans to move his family out of the country. Two journals (1836-1842, with transcription) contain entries about Manigault's daily activities as a rice planter (mostly at Ogilvie's, but also at White Oak); a trip to New York, Saratoga, and Philadelphia; the publication of a "tragedy," "The Maid of Florence"; his reading; Bible studies; interactions with plantation workers and overseers; and church attendance. Some entries concern the importance of physical exercise, and record the use of dumbbells. Manigault also sometimes mentions his personal faults and often notes a habit of idleness. A "Miller's Almanac" of 1845 contains entries from Feb. 1845 to Jan. 1846. A small notebook without covers (1856-1858) contains quotations or observations about the Roman Catholic Church and other religious topics, a few miscellaneous plantation notes, and the titles of some books. The entries in a leather bound notebook (1858-1861) are mostly accounts of expenditures, with a few miscellaneous notes and philosophical and political observations. Miscellaneous items include a license to practice law in Alabama (1833); a bill of Dr. R. [J.] Ragin for medical services for a number of slaves (named) from Mar. to Nov. 1864; a printed article (1861?) by Gabriel Manigault entitled "Sea Coast Defenses," with a diagram of a battery and glacis; and receipts, including one for food supplied to Confederate troops (Feb. 1865), a tithe of corn to the Confederate government (Jan. 1865), rent for a house in Yorkville (1866-1869), payment of tuition, and a subscription to the "Yorkville Enquirer."

Joseph Manigault's letters also reference Gabriel Manigault's sale of the Oaks Plantation (at Goose Creek, Berkeley County, S.C.) to Mr. Deas; mention that the horse races will be well attended despite the scarcity of money; and include an estimate of the value of lot no. 1 on John Street in Charleston (S.C.) and Samuel Wragg's lot on Meeting Street opposite the mall (likely Wragg Mall).
