Papers, 1808-1897.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/19212166

Largely bills and receipts relating to Blanton's ante-bellum tobacco commission business in Farmville, Va., and some records of farming and carriage manufacturing in Cumberland County, Va. A letter, 1848, from Blanton's son, Philip Southall Blanton, describes his studies at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, including the theft of the body of a black woman found to have been buried alive. There are also papers of Walker B. Blanton, principally drafts of articles concerning the Patrons of Husbandry, and of James M. Blanton, Virginia state commissioner of agriculture in the 1880s. The collection includes a few letters of soldiers in the 18th Virginia Volunteer Regiment (C.S.A.), mentioning smallpox in camp near Tarboro, N.C., 1864, and commenting on morale near the end of the war.
