http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25507466

The papers include correspondence, orders, completed forms, memoranda, announcements and circulars for Totten's World War I, World War II, and army reserve service, along with information about the University military science curriculum and the Carolina Volunteer Training Program. During his long association with botanist William C. Coker, Totten became interested in the development of Coker's Chapel Hill, N.C., property. He eventually took over management of the sale of this land and joined the Chapel Hill Board of Realtors. There are detailed accounts of real estate transactions, correspondence concerning all phases of the development of the property, and surveys, land plats, and maps. Totten's University of North Carolina papers include correspondence, reports, mimeographed notices, memoranda, minutes, diagrams and plans, financial records, and publications related to his work in the Botany Department as a teacher, administrator, director of the arboretum and botanical gardens, his association with the Highlands (N.C.) Biological Station, and his co-authorship of "Trees of the Southeastern States," Trees of the Mountains," and Vascular Flora of the Carolinas." Also included are reports on three of Totten's botanical projects, including a drug garden, propagation of mentha citrata, and mushroom culture, and a number of botanical photographs.
