Papers of the Minor and Venable families, 1846-1918.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49863731

Additions to the papers of the Minor and Venable families, include Charles Scott Venable's diary of medical service in France in World War I, family correspondence, and photographs of Sir Robert Montgomery and Lady Montgomery. In his diary, Venable, an officer with Base Hospital No. 41, discusses conditions at the hospital and the care and treatment of the wounded. He frequently mentions U. Va. alumni in the service. Venable also writes general news of the war including a call on Thomas Nelson Page and the Armistice celebration. Correspondence includes an 1869 letter from Emily C. Stras, Tazewell Court House, Va.; letters, 1846-1847, to Florence C. Southall of Charlottesville, Va., conveying local news and briefly mentioning the temperance lectures of John Bartholomew Gough; and letters, 1877-1882, Justus Scheibert to Charles Scott Venable (senior), on Scheibert's book on the American Civil War and the political situation in the United States. Of interest is a transcript of a letter from James Longstreet to Charles Venable about the Battle of the Wilderness.
