Additional material regarding the Tucker, Harrison, Smith and the related Stevens, Lewis, and Carter families [manuscript] 1790-1925.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647966612

Earliest, 1790-1849, regarding Tucker, Lewis and Carter families but principally Charles Carter, Betty Lewis Carter, William Farley Lewis, Lawrence Fielding Lewis, George Tucker, and Maria Carter Tucker. The correspondence covers personal, financial, and social affairs, early years (1820's) of Lt. Lawrence F. Tucker's career in the U.S. Army, and the advantages of leaving Virginia for Kentucky. Other items include travel in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and the Mississippi and Arkansas territories, Felix Grundy as a lawyer and politician, and comparison of the living conditions in Virginia and Kentucky. The later group, 1851-1925, deals with the Harrison, Smith, Stevens, Tucker, and Carter families' personal relations and with the University of Virginia. Chief correspondents are Prof. Francis H. Smith, Gessner Harrison, Thomas H. Carter, George Tucker, Mary Stuart Harrison, and Frank Stevens. Material is interesting for its view of the University of Virginia. Letters of Thomas H. Carter discuss the university, the qualities of its graduates, and the expected presidency of Edwin A. Alderman; those of Edward Buckley Smith, Francis H. Smith, and J. Howard Smith, concern business matters and John B. Minor and F.L. Cabell regarding religion and co-education at the University of Virginia (1842). Other topics include a Benard Peyton letter, 1885, predicting financial and industrial success for Birmingham Ala.; letter discussing the sale of Monticello, an Edmund Harrison letter mentioning William H. McGuffey, travel in Europe; Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College; Theodore Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington, and science and religion.
