Abstract:

Correspondence and records of the McCormick Biographical Association, formed after the death of Cyrus Hall McCormick by his widow and children to insure and perpetuate his role in industrial and agricultural history. Secretaries collected and cataloged publications and manuscripts; replied to numerous genealogical inquiries; provided information to authors such as McCormick’s earliest biographer, Herbert N. Casson; helped arrange for a monograph on McCormick by Reuben Gold Thwaites; gathered evidence to present to the New York University Hall of Fame; and supervised a McCormick display at the Jamestown Exposition of 1907. In 1912, this association was succeeded by the McCormick Historical Association.
