http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/tf9k4009kb

Cornelius Cole (1822-1924) practiced law in San Francisco (1850) before relocating to Sacramento in 1851 where he served as the district attorney of Sacramento City and County (1859-62). He was later elected as a Union Republican to the thirty-eighth Congress (1863-65), and as a Republican to the U.S. Senate (1867-73) where he served as the chairman for the Committee on Appropriations (Forty-second Congress). The collection consists of correspondence, business papers, clippings, photographs, scrap books, diaries, various writings by Cornelius and Olive Cole, and family memorabilia concerning the public and private career of Cornelius Cole and his family. The papers cover more than a century of American history including California politics, government and history, life in the Southwest, Civil War campaigns, railroads, and the crystallization of the new Republican party in Northern California.
