http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/19910158

This collection contains correspondence, essays, photographs, and miscellaneous material gathered and prepared by William Hayne Mills, ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church and faculty member with the Agriculture Economics and Rural Sociobiology Department at Clemson College. Among the correspondence are items sent and received during the period 1917-1941 documentation donations to the Clemson College Library, ecclesiastical matters within the South Carolina Presbyterian Church, and general items related to Mills' time as professor at Clemson. Essays within this collection primarily focus on agriculture in South Carolina, but several focus on issues concerning the Presbyterian Church along with studies concerning both John C. Calhoun and Andrew Pickens. Two undated photographs depict Mills and his family. Eleven undated photographs depict Beaune, France, where Mills was briefly an instructor with the A.E.F. (American Expeditionary Forces) after World War I. The bulk of the miscellaneous items in this collection include book reviews, articles/editorials from print to media, and sermons/speeches prepared by W. H. Mills. The remainder of the miscellaneous items largely consists of various agricultural brochures and typed transcripts, including several which document life in Pendleton, South Carolina circa 1819-1860.
