Papers, 1834-1912.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25029707

The Delavan Levant Leonard (1834-1917) papers outline the life of a college and seminary-trained minister toiling as Superintendent of Home Missions for Utah, Idaho, and Montana in the 1880s. The papers discuss his views of and contempt toward the Mormons in Utah. Numerous newspaper articles written by Leonard are gathered in the scrapbooks he kept. The collection includes the diary he wrote in 1857 while a student at Hamilton College (New York), a travel log (1881-1883), and his brother Randall W. Leonard's (1812-1836) diary (1834-35). Handbills from lectures and events given by Leonard are fine period pieces, and the daguerreotypes, tintypes, and photographs of Leonard and his wife, Mary Raymond (1838-1902) show the evolution of photography.
