William Lenoir's diary describes a 1776 expedition against the Cherokee Indians in the North Carolina mountains. There is also a reminiscence of that expedition purportedly written by Lenoir in June 1835. Selina Louisa Avery Lenoir's diary, probably from 1852, is a record of her travel to visit family and old friends. Walter Waightstill Lenoir's Civil War diary, kept during his service in both the 25th and the 37th North Carolina regiments, describes camp life at Camp Lee in Beaufort District, S.C.; the battles and skirmishes he participated in; the loss of his leg; and his subsequent rehabilitation. Many of the writings consist of drafts of speeches and writings by William Lenoir on his military and political activities and on contemporary public issues. There are also religious, school, political, business writings, and poetry of other members of the Lenoir family. Newspaper clippings and printed material include items collected by William Lenoir on national and international politics, business, religion, social issues, human interest stories, and agriculture; pages from missionary and gardening newspapers; and other business, financial, and religious items.
