Daniel Lindsay Russell was a Wilmington, N.C. lawyer; Confederate Army officer; Republican leader of eastern North Carolina; judge; United States Representative, 1879-1881; and Republican-Populist governor, 1897-1901. Half of the collection consists of papers, 1900-1905, related to the South Dakota Bond Case, a famous and complicated litigation over North Carolina's repudiation of bonds issued during Reconstruction. Correspondents include Marion Butler, Alfred Russell, and Addison G. Ricard. The collection includes extensive political correspondence, chiefly 1874-1897, about the efforts to strengthen the Republican Party in North Carolina. Other papers include correspondence with Russell's New York cotton brokers; papers concerning his Confederate Army court martial, 1863-1864; a biography of Russell by two friends, Louis Goodman and Alice Sawyer Cooper (typescript, 111 pages); and a biography of his wife, Sarah Amanda (Sanders) Russell (1844-1913). Also included is some correspondence with his law partner, Louis Goodman.
