http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32136048

The Weisiger family papers include: a photograph of the Pocahontas Cameo Brooch, made of Pocahontas when she visited England in 1616; correspondence and genealogical research concerning the family, 1923-1924 and 1945-1957; and a letter, 1909, from William Bolling Weisiger to his son, Colonel Cary Nelson Weisiger, Sr., concerning the building of Pocahontas, an estate on the James River in Goochland County, Virginia. The collection focuses, however, on Cary N. Weisiger, Jr., an official of the National Recovery Administration during Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term. Topics include Weisiger's employment with Goldman, Sachs and Company and his employment and association with the National Recovery Administration, including his dismissal by General Hugh S. Johnson for a misunderstanding over the Banker's Code of Fair Competition and the efforts of Weisiger's friends to have him reinstated. Other varied topics include: politics in India at the time of Nehru and Gandhi; the Shenandoah National Park, Va.; and University of Virginia alumni activity. Among the correspondents are: Myron Ratcliff, Donald Richberg, James L. O'Neill, W. Averell Harriman, Ernest Loveman, and Hugh S. Johnson.
