Correspondence, 1802-1875.

Personal correspondence of the Dunlop and Rife (or Reiff) families, united by the marriage of Elizabeth Dunlop and Daniel Rife. The bulk of the letters are concerned with the West before 1860, and discuss such matters as farming and hog raising in Indiana, high wages in Illinois, and travel to the West. Adam L. Dunlop's letters come from Madison, Mo., while members of the Rife family wrote from various sections of the West. Civil War letters from William A. Dunlop, a Confederate soldier, comment on the First Battle of Manassas, Stonewall Jackson, courts-martial, desertions, camp-life, prisoners, and various battles. Several early letters are in German.
