Virginiana, 1876-1971.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32136034

The collection contains photographs, autographs, clippings, and other souvenirs from the scrapbook of William P. Tannehill, a student at Augusta Military Academy in the 1920s. Among his miscellaneous memorabilia is a pamphlet by Nathan S.S. Beman titled "Female Influence and Obligations." Correspondence of Tannehill includes letters of introduction, and a letter of welcome from Hunter B. Blakely, pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Staunton, Va. Correspondence of the Bowling family concerns Alexander Sprunt and other family members and chiefly conveys personal news. Of interest is a letter, 1876 December 1, from M.M. Walker, surgeon at the Virginia State Penitentiary, to Governor James Lawson Kemper reporting on inadequate space per inmate.
