Richmond Pearson Papers, . 1852-1940 (bulk 1872-1912)

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/p/Pearson,Richmond.html

Richmond Pearson of Asheville, N.C., was a lawyer; United States consul in Belgium; Democratic North Carolina representative, 1884-1886; Republican United States representative, 1895-1899 and 1900-1901; consul in Genoa, Italy; minister to Persia, Greece, and Montenegro; and supporter of Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive Party campaign in 1912. The collection contains papers, chiefly 1872-1912, pertaining to Pearson's public activities, especially congressional campaigns, Republican-Populist fusion, and the Progressive campaign, with little on legislative and foreign service. Also included are Pearson's accounts as executor of the estate of his father, Richmond Mumford Pearson (1805-1878); and scrapbooks of clippings relating to a controversy over a stock and fence law and challenges to duels, and on Pearson's campaigns and legislative service.
