Loula Kendall Rogers papers, 1811-1954.

The Loula Kendall Rogers papers consists of a wide variety of material types including correspondence, manuscripts, clippings, photographs, printed material, and memorabilia. This collection dates from 1811-1954, with the bulk of the materials dating 1855-1929. The strength of this collection lies in representation of life in middle Georgia during and after the Civil War. Both the Kendall and Rogers families had been well-to-do before the Civil War, but each lost most of its wealth because of the war and had to start anew. The correspondence, journals, and business papers found in this collection contain commentary on people and events of this era.
