Public information subject files - Secession Convention of 1861 files, 1933-1942.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122498693

This material makes up an artificial series on the individuals who attended Alabama's Secession Convention in 1861. It contains notes and biographical sketches most of which were compiled by Miss C. P. Mitchell. It is unclear if Mitchell was a private researcher, an ADAH staff member, or a participant in the WPA Federal Survey project. There is also some correspondence between ADAH staff member David L. Darden and various correspondents regarding additional information on the convention participants.
