Richardson and Farrar family papers, 1860-1876; 1935 [manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/24250624

Richardson family materials chiefly relate to Henry B. Richardson and include his correspondence with his parents in New England about his surveying work in East Carroll and Tensas parishes, La., in 1861; the coming of the Civil War; and his participation in the war as a staff officer and as a prisoner of war at Johnson's Island, Ohio, 1864-1865. There is also an 1872 letter from Jubal A. Early, under whom Richardson served in the war, about the presidential campaign of that year. Topics discussed in Farrar family correspondence include social life; the coming of the Civil War (but not the war itself); the education of several Farrar boys at the Magruder School at Baton Rouge, La., and at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville; and two post-war vists by Jefferson and Varina Howell Davis.
