Reed, Harrison, 1813-1899. Papers, 1838-1940.

Title: Papers, 1838-1940.

Papers of Harrison Reed, a Wisconsin land speculator, journalist, and politician who in 1862 became a resident of Florida, where he served as tax commissioner and as governor, 1868-1874. Two main groups of correspondence appear in the collection. Letters of Harrison's brother Curtis, written to his fiancee Lydia Ripley in 1849-1850, are primarily personal in content but contain occasional hints concerning the Reeds' dispute with Harvey Jones over land and water-power rights on Doty's Island, site of Neenah-Menasha, Wis. Letters of Harrison Reed, written in 1862-1864 to his sister-in-law Lydia, discuss his work in the Treasury Department in Washington and his maneuvers to secure a political office in Florida. Other documents of widely scattered dates include certificates of political appointments issued to the two brothers, three speeches delivered by Harrison Reed while governor of Florida, a few records of Wisconsin and Florida land transactions, several letters of autograph value and clipped autographs, and fragmentary genealogical notes on the Reed family.
