Papers, 1849-1877.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/39100467

Collection chiefly contains letters to Hanks from business associates concerning lumber, railroad, manufacturing and other business matters in N.Y., Mich., and the South. Of particular note are letters written in 1872 and 1873 to Hanks from his partner Col. J.O. Hudnutt, Chief Engineer for the Southern Railway Security Company in Greenville, S.C. From a northerner's perspective, Hudnutt describes the conditions in Greenville during Reconstruction and includes topics such as carpetbaggers, the Ku Klux Klan and the corruption and apathy he sees. Several of Hank's correspondents were classmates of his at Dartmouth College in the 1840s, including Hudnutt, E.W Stanley, and John B. Benton. Their letters include alumni information and reflections on their college years. Also included is a letter from Hanks written to his sister from Dartmouth (1849).
