Correspondence, legal papers, financial papers, writings, and printed material chiefly relating to John David McGeachy and members of the McGeachy family of Robeson County, NC. Letters to McGeachy contain a friend's impression of Trinity College in 1861; comments on a bill in the North Carolina General Assembly (August 1861) to let voters decide whether the Convention would meet; and mention of Confederate encampment on Crabtree Creek in Raleigh in 1861. Includes three notebooks belonging to McGeachy in which he kept a Civil War diary and wrote poetry about love and war. McGeachy recorded the date and place of writing of many poems, thus providing the location of his company, the 51st North Carolina Infantry, Company D. ("Scotch Tigers").
