Papers 1802-1956 (bulk 1850-1871)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/310963808

The Kane Family Papers consists primarily of correspondence to Elizabeth D. Kane from her family. In addition there are letters from Elisha Kent Kane to an unknown correspondent and John K. Kane, Jr. to Charles W. Shields - Elizabeth's husband. The most significant Elisha Kent Kane material consists of the Bible his mother gave him before he left on the Caleb Cushing Mission to China, and a bound book of letters from those asked to be pall bearers at his funeral in 1857. In addition, there is a receipt book that was used briefly by him during his youth, but also by Abraham and Eliza Kintzing. Finally, there are two articles on his life. Additional Kane Family Papers can be found at the American Philosophical Society, and Historical Society of Pennsylvania. A journal from Elisha Kent Kane's second arctic expedition is held by Stanford University.
