Collection of papers on the Civil War, 1858-1960.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/35993822

The Don D. John collection is an artificial compilation of records put together by Mr. John concerning the Civil War in general, and John Hunt Morgan's Brigade in particular. The collection includes documents received from the relatives of Morgan's men, newspaper accounts, government records, books, and original records created by those involved in the war. The collection was assembled between 1955-1958 and covers the period 1858-1960. Mr. John's original order was maintained and has little or no organizational structure. Newspaper clippings and oversized materials have been removed to separate boxes. A folder list was created to facilitate use. Various non-textual items have been transferred to the Society's museum and photo archives. Those items include: an image of John Hunt Morgan, now in photo archives; a personal Confederate national battle flag, 5 x 7 in., in Kentucky Military Museum; an 1862 change purse, a clock face, and a military stars pin, tranferred to Kentucky Historical Society Museum. Items still contained in the collection include seven maroon vinyl, Edison recordings, possibly of an interview with a Confederate veteran, and a Confederate Association of Kentucky membership booklet, ca. 1894.
