Papers, 1850-1901.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122578761

These papers consist of correspondence between members of the Cooper family. These letters primarily contain information about everyday life. There are many letters between Uri Gilbert and his wife, Millie. Uri had a business in which he traveled to various states for extended periods of time. Also contained are letters from Dealton Cooper regarding his experiences as a soldier during the Civil War. From Dealton's letters one may conclude how black soldiers were treated unfairly during the Civil War. Dealton gives an account of how, when a group of fifty to sixty black soldiers joined his regiment some of these soldiers were shot on the spot for not halting when told to do so. The post Civil War letters talk about everyday life.
