[Joseph C. Ives Collection]. 1857-1858.

Collection consists of 17 letters (photocopies) between Lt. Joseph C. Ives and his wife, Cora Semmes Ives, between Sept. 1857 and June 1858. The correspondence is largely personal in nature, but is a useful supplement to the official report documenting the voyage, "Report upon the Colorado River of the west -- explored in 1857-58".
