Correspondence, notebooks, legal papers, and printed materials provide information on the lives of Lucy Kellogg and her family as well as on life in the Louisiana cities of Minden and New Orleans from 1836 to 1851. In a ms. account, Kellogg describes her youth in New England to 1879, where she produced textiles in her parents' home to support herself. Family letters (1836-51) discuss devout Protestants' feelings of isolation in rural Louisiana, the education of children, and abolitionism. Nineteen Civil War letters (1854-64) written by George M. Kellogg, a doctor in the Union army, are also included.
