Series: 2 RR (Volume 2)
Scope and Content Note: Additional Draper correspondence, mainly 1885-1887, on Peter S. Ney and his claims to have been Marshal Ney, with additional notes and clippings. Some materials contain accounts of the medical exhumation of the body of Peter S. Ney in 1887, a project instigated by Draper to try to ascertain if the skull had been trepanned, an operation known to have been performed on Marshal Ney. One of Mary C. Dalton's letters (2 RR 14) contains brief comments on the noted trapper and Indian agent, Christopher (Kit) Carson and on her associations with the Carson family.
