Title: Records, 1832-1915 (inclusive), 1870-1905 (bulk).

Material includes miscellaneous letters and agreements of the two banking houses: Jay Cooke and Company and Charles D.

There are manuscripts relating to the Northern Pacific Railroad, numerous smaller railroads, mining enterprises, and land companies, many of which were western investments. Among the best papers in the collection is a lengthy memoir written by Jay Cooke when he was about 75 years old. Agreements constitute one of the most valuable parts of the collection--one particularly, a contract between Jay Cooke and the Northern Pacific Railroad dated 1869, being significant.
