http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32144367

Papers include William Carson's report card (1857) for the King's Mountain Preparatory Military School (Yorkville, S.C.) addressed to Caroline Petigru Carson, and correspondence pertaining to William Carson's conduct at school and his dismissal. A letter (1857 Nov. 10) from William Carson at Yorkville, S.C. to his "grandpapa" James Louis Petigru concerns a fight at the King's Mountain school and Carson's urgent desire to leave the school because "all the upcountry boys dislike me." A letter (1858 March 23) to James Louis Petigru from principals A. Coward and M. Jenkins informs Petigru of William Carson's dismissal because of mischievous behavior and "breaking arrest."
