Draper Manuscripts: Thomas Sumter Papers, 1763-1885

Container Title
Series: 21 VV (Volume 21)
Scope and Content Note: Two of Draper's small pocket memoranda books bound together. One contains a chronology of Sumter's life with rough notes, bibliographical citations, and a list of manuscripts for which Draper was searching. Draper copied most of the biographical and bibliographical information in more orderly form into the larger volume comprising 20 VV. The second notebook contains only a list of Sumter letters loaned for copying by George W. Greene in July, 1873, and returned to Greene by Draper in the following month.
