Papers of Jonathan D. Dunlap, 1870-1890.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122446500

The group of material includes three volumes and miscellaneous papers, notes, letters, and receipts. Although one volume contains the constitution and by-laws and meeting proceedings of the Associated Veterans of the Mexican War, the majority of the collection, including one letter book and one docket, is related to Dunlap's work as Deputy Marshal and deals with land problems, especially related to railroads, civil cases, legal papers, arrests, his expenses, and other matters related to his official duties. Some of the correspondence in the letter book talks about silver mines and mining. B. B. Redding, land agent for the Central Pacific Railroad Company, and Jerome Madden, land agent for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company are addressees of several letters by Dunlap. The receipts are for expenses related to Associated Veterans of the Mexican War sponsored events including a funeral for Captain J. D. Hunter.
