1859-1903

https://rosenbach.kohacatalog.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=2507

Begun as an autograph album before the war, but most entries are by both Union and Confederate soldiers who visited and guarded Boyd. Includes many newspaper clippings about her, mainly collected by herself, but a few added later by S.W. Pennypacker. Most concern her activities and those of the alleged impostor on the theater and lecture circuits. At least one of the clippings confuses details of her life with those of the outlaw Belle Starr. There are also some letters by and clippings about Hardinge and her second husband, John S. Hammond.
