Abstract:

Papers of William F. Dalrymple, a native of Pennsylvania, dealing with his investments in mills, railroads, farmlands, and city real estate in Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The collection consists primarily of incoming letters, but includes occasional drafts and copies of Dalrymple's replies, brief diaries, and records of the Bayfield Transfer Railway Company, the Milwaukee and Dubuque Railroad, and the Milwaukee, Peoria and St. Louis Railroad. Many letters concern investment in wheat “bonanza farms” near Fargo, North Dakota.
