Thomas family papers, 1895-1968.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122595121

Correspondence from the Thomases while resident in the Philippines, 1900-1905; sketches, photographs, maps, newsclippings, and diaries. The collection presents a clear and astute view of U.S.-Philippine relations during the period they were in residence, as well as an informative and pictorial view of village life and the countryside in the hinterland of the Islands. It also reveals aspects of military operations in the Philippines during this period. A small portion of the collection is devoted to letters from a French family befriended by the Thomases in the years following World War I. There are miscellaneous geological reports, 1911-1930, and some memorabilia also remain about Camp Fremont (U.S. Army) in Palo Alto-Menlo Park, California, during World War I. In addition, a few letters from notables are in the collection.
