Robert D. Gilmer papers, 1796-1926.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/30485655

Correspondence and other materials primarily concern Joseph A. Branner's mercantile business in western North Carolina and Tennessee; the Branner Institute in Mossy Creek, Tenn.; the Asheville Female College; the "Love Speculation Lands," for which Robert D. Gilmer was trustee; Gilmer's legal and political careers; and Josephine Gilmer's musical career and trip to Milan, Italy. After Love Branner Gilmer acquired the Suyeta Park Hotel in Waynesville in 1916, there is correspondence about the hotel and restaurant business. The financial and legal papers mirror the concentration on these subjects, especially the school and the Love Estate lands.
