Letters to Frank D. Baldwin, c.1869-1885.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/729761547

Alice Blackwood Baldwin (c.1845-1930) was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and in 1854 traveled with her parents to Sacramento. Following her mother's death, Alice and her sister moved back to Michigan to live with their aunt and uncle Robert and Rebecca Blackwood, where they remained permanently when their father died soon after. In 1867 Alice married Frank Dwight Baldwin and moved first to Fort Harker, Kansas, and then the New Mexico Territory. While traveling through Trinidad, Colorado Territory, Alice gave birth to her daughter Juanita Mary in 1867. Alice moved back to Northville in 1869 while Frank served in the Sioux War, and spent the next several years living with relatives. In 1878-1879 Alice and Frank made a European tour (while Juanita was at boarding school in Detroit). Frank retired from the military as a major general in 1906, and the Baldwins moved to Denver. Juanita Baldwin married Ambrose C.G. Williams-Foote, a native of Cornwall, in 1893.
