James Gilliam Kilbourne correspondence, 1855-1859, 1865-1866.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/180878094

Letters from his law partner, James O. Fuqua, who apparently opened a law office in Baton Rouge, La., immediately following the Civil War, pertain principally to clients but also concern local politics and living conditions in Baton Rouge (1865-1866). In a letter of June 8, 1865, Fuqua discusses at length the eagerness of some of the citizens to take the amnesty oath, civilian comments on the outcome of the Civil War, and relations with African Americans. Other letters pertain to lawsuits and local politics in Baton Rouge and Jackson.

15 letters.
