Anderson family papers [microform], 1802-1905 bulk (1809-1892).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49356618

The Anderson Family Collection contains five document boxes of correspondence, diaries, documents, and manuscripts of the four Anderson men. John Anderson's papers are primarily concerned with his ministry although some family material is included. John Byars Anderson's most noteworthy papers are concerned with his railroad activities. Papers pertaining to his involvement in Civil War railroad matters are included. Much of his collection pertains to the financing and construction of the Union Pacific Railway, Eastern Division, being built across Kansas. This later became the Kansas Pacific Railway. Another part of John Byars' collection is letters from 1899 written by Andrew Carnegie to Mrs. Anderson. Carnegie was grateful because John Byars had given him access to his personal library. William Anderson's collection deals with his life as a minister. John A. Anderson's papers deal with his pastorate in California, his Civil War experiences as a chaplain, and his presidency of Kansas State Agricultural College. Very few papers cover his Congressional career or his service as Consul General.
