Coffeen Family papers, ca. 1880s-1999.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/62294208

The Coffeen Family papers contain family history and biographies written and gathered by William W. Coffeen (great-nephew of Henry Asa Coffeen) and Virginia Moseley (granddaughter of Edward Gillette). There are also photographs, postcards, and bound volumes of each edition of "The Teepee Book," a magazine published in Sheridan, Wyoming, by Herbert Allen Coffeen. Of special note is the biographical information on Henry Asa Coffeen and also on Edward Gillette. Gillette's papers include a scrapbook of the Dome Lake Club, a private fishing resort in the Bighorn National Forest, a booklet he wrote entitled "The First Trip Through the Big Horn Canon," and a copy of his "Indian Stories." The Coffeen and later the Gillette family's Absaraka Ranch is documented in several photographs.
