William Avery Stratton Correspondence, 1864-1940 (Bulk 1864-1880)

http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaxtf/view?docId=vt/viblbv00497.xml

The collection contains correspondence to William Avery Stratton from friends and family. Letters date from as early as the Civil War (1864) to the year after Stratton's death (1940). For the most part, letters are about social and family news, though some of the early letters contain Civil War and post-bellum news from the South. Letters from friends in Oregon, Colorado, and Nevada also provide details on Indian affairs, railroad growth, and cattle in the West. The collection also contains a large number of wedding and graduation invitations for events in Oxford, New York, where Stratton spent much of his life.
