http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191259779

This collection contains primarily charts, maps, sketches (including a drawing book), and surveys of their finds in Newark and other sections of Ohio. There is additional writing on "Ancient Pictographic or Symbolic Rock and Earth Writing," in AAS Proceedings (1862), analysis of the characters on the tablets of the Palenque and Copan tribes as compared with ancient Eastern alphabets, and descriptions of ancient monuments and inscriptions on or near the Hocking and Licking Rivers, Ohio. The collection also contains lengthy letters by Col. Charles Whittlesey (1808-1886) and John S. B. Matson (1828-1916) on their research into Indian sculpture and mounds. There are letters from Dr. Salisbury to Stephen Salisbury (1835-1905), president of the American Antiquarian Society, concerning genealogical studies of Dr. Salisbury's family and his account of an incident which occurred in Warwick, R.I., in 1772, when several of Dr. Salisbury's ancestors participated in a citizens' attack upon a British frigate, the Gaspee, attempting to enforce the Navigation Acts. Other correspondence includes a photocopy of a letter (original at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute), dated 14 July 1846, from Salisbury to his brother Charles, as well as a letter from Francis Parkman (1823-1893) to Dr. Samuel Abbott Green (1830-1918) transmitting a report on "the Salisbury Papers." The miscellaneous papers include a list of "Ms. Papers from Dr. Salisbury"; a photocopy of an article, entitled "Salisbury Steak," by Rue Moore, Canon, from the Albany Medical Nexus, 24 November 1980; and a photocopy of a portrait of James Henry Salisbury.
