Emory Evans papers [manuscript], 1955-1964.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/767737542

The collection contains letters to and about Evans by Francis Berkeley, Thomas Perkins Abernethy, and Elizabeth Purvis, chiefly regarding research in colonial Virginia history and recommendations. Of interest is a note, 1960, from Abernethy stating "My colleagues in the History Department have proved to be such avid integrationists, and Ed Younger such a rascal that I would no longer feel at home among them ... I would like to teach in some institution that does not believe in 'Equality!' ... these are hard times for those few of us who will stand by the ideals for which the Old South stood! I think our darkest days will come in the next four years under that bush-headed, Irish Catholic from Boston!" With the letter is a clipping regarding "The Old Dominion," a series of essays in honor of Abernethy by his former students.
