Peters family papers, 1819-1921.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/35268158

Papers of the Peters and related families consist primarily of legal papers, such as deeds and marriage certificates. Also included are a few letters; a diary, 1863-1864, of Scott Peters; a diary, 1902, of D.W. Peters; and family pictures. In his diary, Scott Peters, who served with Company A, Third Missouri Cavalry Regiment, made brief, almost daily, entries in which he described traveling to Tuskegee, Ala.; his life in Tuskegee; his wounding and capture at the Battle of Champion Hill on 16 May 1863; his transportation up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers to Camp Morton near Indianapolis; his stay at Camp Morton; his transport in June 1863 to Fort Delaware; and his life as a prisoner there until his release on 24 March 1864. The 1902 diary of D.W. Peters reports his daily travel and the numbers of cases on which he reported each day. Pictures include a tintype, and the photograph album appears to date from the late 19th or early 20th century. Both contain portraits of Horton, Padgett, and Taylor family members, though most photographs are unidentified.
