his collection of Garrison Family Papers, Series 9: Scrapbooks, 1833–1908, contains scrapbooks belonging to Agnes Garrison (1866–1950), George Thompson Garrison (1836–1904), and William Lloyd Garrison (1838–1909), hereafter referred to as WLG (1838). Agnes is the daughter of WLG (1838). George and William are sons of the famous abolitionist William

Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879). The elder William Lloyd’s legacy is evident in the many articles and references to antislavery and suffrage found in these scrapbooks, which contain clippings, memorabilia, correspondence, and miscellaneous printed material on a variety of subjects.

Reel 1 contains Agnes Garrison’s two scrapbooks, which reflect her interest in the arts, especially music and theater, and her trip to Europe. Of particular interest is a map of Paris circa 1880 (Reel 1, Frame 0085) and a listing of course offerings at the University of Paris (Sorbonne).

George Garrison’s scrapbooks, also on Reel 1, cover a number of topics pertaining to his father. Beginning with the obituary (Reel 1, Frame 0358), George also includes his father’s biography as retold by the children (Reel 1, Frame 0439) and the dedication of a statue in his father’s likeness in Newburyport, Massachusetts (Reel 1, Frame 0442). George, who served as an officer of the Fifty-Fifth Infantry (Reel 1, Frame 0780), also includes a souvenir book of the Massachusetts Fifty-Fourth Regiment and Fifty-Fifth Infantry, with a roster of enlisted men (Reel 1, Frame 0788) and their service records.

Reels 2 through 7 contain the scrapbooks of WLG (1838), which cover not only his abhorrence to slavery, and racial and sexual discrimination, but also taxation and tariffs. Harvard College is not exempted from WLG (1838)’s wrath as he protests the initiation ritual of a fraternity as “savage” in an open letter to the president and faculty (Reel 4, Frame 0004). Intercollegiate sports, football in particular, are also the subject of violence, and yet there are multiple clippings of Harvard’s intense rivalry with Yale University.

Of particular interest on Reel 5 is the story of the lynching of a Black postmaster in South Carolina and subsequent “anti-lynching lecture tour” by his surviving family. Lillian Jewett, a woman from the north, secretly traveled by train to convince the postmaster’s widow and children to return with her to Boston (Reel 5, Frame 0138). Other topics covered on this reel include the formation of a national Black business league (Frame 0222), a visit by Irish nationalists to further the cause of the United Irish League (Frame 0255), Chinese immigration issues (Frame 0259), WLG (1838)’s address on war (Frame 0312), and the single tax issue (Frame 0430).

Included on Reel 7 is an addendum to the UPA collection Garrison Family Papers, Series 2: Diaries, 1854–1995. Further scrapbooks owned by WLG (1838) consist of his diary and news clippings. Some notable subjects include the arrest, interviews (while jailed), and execution of John Brown. Of particular interest is his last will and testament (Frame 0141) and an extract of John Brown’s sayings such as, “It is nothing to die in a good cause, but an eternal disgrace to sit still in the presence of the barbarities of American slavery,” (Frame 0148). A rather touching article covers the visit of Brown’s wife prior to his execution (Frame 0151).

References to the Civil War abound in the diary for 1863. The entry for June 17 reads: “the rebels have crossed the Rappahannock & are invading Pennsylvania” (Frame 422). The entry from June 17 reads: “The air is full of rumors of Lee’s invading army” (Frame 0423), and for July 7, the entry reads: “Hurrah! Vicksburg unconditionally surrendered on July 4th” (Frame 0427).

The Garrison Family Papers, with detailed documentation on five generations of an extraordinary American family, offer exciting research opportunities in American political history and important social movements like women’s rights, abolition, tax reform, free trade and tariff reform, immigration reform, and pacifism.

FAMILY HISTORY

The Garrison Family Papers cover five generations of the Garrison family, four generations of the Wright family, and five generations of the Stephenson family. Detailed biographical sketches exist in standard reference works as well as biographies of members of the Garrison and Wright families. These include Dictionary of American Biography (DAB); Notable American Women (NAW); William Lloyd Garrison, 1805–1879: The Story of His Life Told by His Children; All On Fire: William Lloyd Garrison and the Abolition of Slavery by Henry Mayer; Growing Up Abolitionist: The Story of the Garrison Children by Harriet Alonso; and James and Lucretia Mott: Life and Letters by Anna Davis Hallowell.

The Garrison Family

Generation 1: Abijah Garrison and Frances (“Fanny”) Lloyd Garrison The Garrison Family Papers begin with Abijah Garrison (1773–?) and Frances (“Fanny”) Lloyd Garrison (1776–1823). Abijah was born in an isolated farming community in New Brunswick, Canada. By the 1790s he had become a seaman based in St. John. He married Frances Lloyd in 1798, and they settled on the Jemseg River in New Brunswick. They moved to St. John in 1801. They had two daughters (Mary Ann and Caroline Eliza) and a son (James Holley). Mary Ann died in infancy, and in 1805 the family moved to Newburyport, Massachusetts. In December of that year a fourth child, William Lloyd, was born, followed by Elizabeth Knowlton in 1808. A man of intemperate habits, Abijah abandoned his wife and family shortly after Elizabeth’s birth. He was never heard from again. Generation 2: William Lloyd Garrison and Helen Benson Garrison Frances Lloyd Garrison, abandoned with small children to care for, placed her son William Lloyd (1805–1879) (see DAB) in the care of Deacon Ezekiel Bartlett. William Lloyd received little schooling, and was apprenticed in 1818 to Ephraim Allen of the Newburyport Herald. In 1826 he became editor of the Free Press. When the press failed he became a journeyman printer, and in 1828 he joined with Nathaniel White in editing the temperance newspaper National Philanthropist. Influenced by Benjamin Lundy, a Quaker, William Lloyd became interested in the abolition movement, a cause he championed for the next thirty years. He founded the abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator, in 1831, which he published until 1865. In 1834 he married Helen Benson, daughter of a retired merchant and member of an abolitionist family. They had seven children: George Thompson (1836–1904), William Lloyd (1838–1909), Wendell Phillips (1840–1907), Charles Follen (1842–1849), Helen Frances (“Fanny”) (1844–1928), Elizabeth Pease (1846–1848), and Francis Jackson (1848–1916). Although there are papers generated by all of the surviving children, those of William Lloyd are best represented.

vi

Generation 3: Children of William Lloyd Garrison and Helen Benson Garrison There are seven descendents in Generation 3 of the Garrison family. All of the children of William Lloyd and Helen Benson Garrison, with the exception of George, followed in their father’s reform footsteps. Wendell, via his editorship at The Nation, was involved in abolition, freedman’s relief, and racial and sexual equality. Fanny, following the death of her husband, Henry Villard, became involved in the suffrage movement and pacifism. Francis, in addition to his position as editor at Houghton Mifflin, championed racial and sexual equality. A detailed description of all of the children in Generation 3 can be found in Harriet Alonso’s Growing Up Abolitionist: The Story of the Garrison Children. The primary persons in this generation represented in the papers are William Lloyd Garrison and Ellen Wright Garrison. William Lloyd Garrison left school at the age of eighteen to begin a business career. In 1855 he became associated with abolitionist James Buffum and lived with the Buffum family for seven years, where he became involved in various reform movements. He held clerical and banking positions, and in 1864 he went into the wool business. William Lloyd established one of the earliest electric light stations in Brockton, Massachusetts, and also dealt in bonds, retiring from business in 1902. He was, however, a reformer at heart, and up until his death in 1909 was involved in abolition, women’s rights and suffrage, immigration reform, Armenian and Russian relief, Irish home rule, anti-imperialism, pacifism, temperance, and free trade. He was also an avid single taxer and president of the Massachusetts Single Tax league. In 1864 he married Ellen Wright, daughter of Martha Coffin and David Wright (see Wright Family). Ellen Wright was born in 1842 and grew up in a Quaker abolitionist community. She was educated at abolitionist Theodore Weld’s Eagleswood School in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, Sharon Female Seminary in Darby, Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Sedgwick’s Young Ladies School in Lenox, Massachusetts. Influenced by her mother’s activism, a life-long friendship with Susan B. Anthony, and the reform movements of her husband, Ellen was an active life member in the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Generation 4: Children of William Lloyd Garrison and Ellen Wright Garrison There are eighteen descendents in Generation 4 of the Garrison family. William Lloyd and Ellen had five children: Agnes (1866–1950), Charles (1868–1951), Frank Wright (1871–1961), William Lloyd (1874–1964), and Eleanor (1880–1974). Although there is material on all of the children as well as other family members, William, Eleanor, and Agnes are the most well represented in these papers. William graduated from Harvard in 1897 and attended Harvard Law School. He became an investment banker and in 1908 became a partner in the firm of Perry, Coffin & Burr. When that partnership was dissolved, he became president of the new firm of Coffin & Burr. According to family members, in hard times he was known to have reimbursed clients from his own pocket if they lost money from his investments. He retired in 1933. A reformer at heart his causes included anti-vaccination, anti-imperialism, free trade, pacifism, and racial and sexual equality. In 1901 he married Edith Alice Stephenson (see also Stephenson Family). Edith was born in 1878, the third of seven children of Benjamin Turner and Luda Grant Stephenson. She was trained as a concert pianist. In addition to raising six children, she was active in the suffrage movement and was president of the Newton Equal Suffrage League. Eleanor graduated from Smith College in 1904 and received a Master of Arts degree from Radcliffe in 1906. When she graduated, the suffrage movement was at its peak, and she worked avidly for the vote until 1919. In 1912 she became an organizer for Carrie Chapman

vii

Catt who headed the New York State campaign for women’s suffrage headquartered in New York City. When the campaign ended she became interested in photography, which occupied her for ten years. In the 1940s she moved to California to care for her sister Agnes, remaining there with her brother Frank after Agnes’s death. Generation 5: The children of William Lloyd Garrison and Edith Stephenson Garrison There are twenty-nine descendents in Generation 5 of the Garrison family. The papers primarily concern the children of William Lloyd and Edith Stephenson: William Lloyd (1902–1988) Claire (“Tita”) (1903–1985), David Lloyd (1906–2001), John Bright (1909–1988), Faith (1910–1981), and Edith Lloyd (“Yoy”) (1913–1993). The largest portion of the papers concerns David. David Lloyd Garrison graduated from Harvard in 1928 with a degree in fine arts. He taught for several years and then joined J. H. Emerson Co., manufacturers of breathing equipment. He was an avid birder, and just prior to World War II he was curator of birds at New England Museum of Natural History and the editor of the Bulletin of New England Bird Life. He published a number of papers on birds. He relinquished his conscientious objector status and served as a non-combatant medical technician during World War II. He married Alice (“Pat”) O’Reilly (his superior officer) in 1945. After the war he resumed his work for the J. H. Emerson Company. He was also an amateur artist and was active in peace activism, land conservation, and civic and church affairs. The papers do not go beyond Generation 5 of the Garrison family, but there are sixty Garrison descendents in Generation 6.

The Wright family

There are four generations of the Wright family represented in the Garrison family papers. Material in these papers primarily represent Martha Coffin Wright, Lucretia Coffin Mott, Marianna Pelham Mott, and Eliza Wright Osborne. Martha Coffin Wright (see NAW) was the eighth child of Thomas Coffin and Anna Folger Coffin. She was born in 1806, and in 1824, after three years of boarding school, she married army captain Peter Pelham. They had a daughter Marianna. Pelham died in 1826. In 1829 Martha married lawyer David Wright with whom she had six children: Eliza (1830), Matthew Tallman (1832), Ellen (1840), William Pelham (1842), Frank (1844), and Charles (1848). In 1848 she joined with her sister Lucretia Coffin Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Jane Hunt, and Mary Ann McClintock in planning the first woman’s rights convention at Seneca Falls, New York. She continued to be active throughout her life in the cause for women’s rights and suffrage. She was elected to the presidency of the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1874. Lucretia Coffin Mott (see NAW) was the second child of Thomas Coffin and Anna Folger Coffin. Born in 1793 on Nantucket, Massachusetts, in a Quaker household, she was educated in a Friends boarding school near Poughkeepsie, New York, where she later taught. In 1811 she married James Mott, a fellow teacher, who shared her causes and feminist leanings. She was an avid abolitionist and pacifist, and along with her sister Martha Coffin Wright, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Jane Hunt, and Mary Ann McClintock, planned the first woman’s rights convention at Seneca Falls, New York. She was president of the American Equal Rights Association from 1866 until the organization split into the National American Woman Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association in 1869. The

viii

Motts had five children: Anna, Maria, Thomas, Elizabeth, and Martha. Thomas Mott married Marianna Pelham, the eldest daughter of Martha Coffin Wright. Marianna Pelham was the daughter of Martha Coffin Wright by her first husband, Peter Pelham. In 1845 she married her cousin, Thomas Mott, son of Lucretia Coffin Mott and James Mott. They had three children: Isabel (1846), Emily (1848) and Maria (1853). Eliza was the eldest of six children of Martha Coffin and David Wright. In 1851 she married David Munson Osborne. They had four children: Florence (1856), Emily (1853), Thomas Mott (1859), and Helen (1884).

Stephenson Family

There are five generations of the Stephenson family represented in the Garrison Family Papers. The first generation includes Bryant Parrot (1784–1841) and Abigail Gilbert Balkam (1784–1857) Stephenson. There is further documentation of the subsequent generations up to the nieces and nephews of Edith Stephenson Garrison. Edith’s papers are included with the Garrison Family, and the Stephensons are primarily represented by Benjamin Turner and Lucinda (Luda) Grant Stephenson, the parents of Edith Alice Stephenson.

The Collection

The Garrison Family Papers consist of 117.75 linear feet of material and contain thousands of primary sources that document three families’ involvement in most of the major reform movements of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The collection spans the years 1694 to 2005, but the bulk of the material dates from 1830 to 1950. Types of material include correspondence, diaries, writings, speeches, legal documents, photographs, journal and newspaper articles, memorabilia, and a wide variety of printed sources. Included are the papers of two families who married into the Garrisons: the Wrights (Ellen Wright married William Lloyd Garrison (1838–1909)) and the Stephensons (Edith Stephenson married William Lloyd Garrison (1874–1964)). The Wright family includes the Coffins (Ellen’s mother was Martha Coffin Wright) and the Mott family (Ellen’s aunt, Martha’s elder sister, was Lucretia Coffin Mott) and their descendents. These papers trace the activities of the Garrison, Wright, and Stephenson families and their friends and associates in England, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New York, among other places. Although there is unique correspondence, biographical material, printed material, and memorabilia related to William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879), the largest part of the collection relates to his son William Lloyd Garrison (1838–1909) and son’s wife, Ellen Wright Garrison, and their descendents. The influence of patriarch William Lloyd Garrison (1805) can be seen as each generation took its place in the reform movements of the time. These include abolition, anti-imperialism, anti-vaccination, conservation, free trade and tariff reform, immigration reform, pacifism, race, single tax, and temperance. The papers are an especially important source for the suffrage and women’s rights movements because they include the correspondence of Martha Coffin Wright and Lucretia Coffin Mott with other leaders of the movement; as well as correspondence, printed material and ephemera of Eleanor Garrison, who was an organizer for the Empire State suffrage campaign under Carrie Chapman Catt. Major correspondents addressing the subjects of abolition, women’s

ix

rights, and other reforms include Susan B. Anthony, Alice Stone Blackwell, Henry B. Blackwell, Carrie Chapman Catt, Lucy Conant, Matilda Joslyn Gage, Henry George, Lucretia Coffin Mott, Emmeline and Sylvia Pankhurst, Theodore Parker, Wendell Phillips, Parker Pillsbury, Louis Prang, Caroline Severance, Anna Howard Shaw, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, Booker T. Washington, Theodore Dwight Weld, Frances E. Willard, and Marie Zakrzewska, among many others. Because the Garrisons were a close-knit family, in addition to a wide view of reform, the papers offer a look at two centuries of intimate family life, inter-generational dynamics, and social history. There is extensive correspondence between parents and children, siblings, husbands and wives, cousins, aunts, and uncles. They also had a wide circle of friends and associates and an extensive social network, especially in and around Boston. For the purposes of this project, Garrison family members have been defined as original Garrisons and their direct descendants and anyone who married into the family. In order to differentiate between the various William Lloyd Garrisons, they have been identified by initials and birth dates: i.e., WLG 1805, WLG 1838, WLG 1874, and WLG 1902. It is not always clear which WLG some of the material relates to. The same holds true for the three generations that contain a Benjamin Turner Stephenson in the Stephenson family.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The UPA microfilm collection Garrison Family Papers, Series 9: Scrapbooks, 1833–1908, contains scrapbooks belonging to Agnes Garrison (1866–1950), George Thompson Garrison (1836–1904), and William Lloyd Garrison (1838–1909), hereafter referred to as WLG (1838). Agnes is the daughter of WLG (1838). George and William are sons of the famous abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879). The elder William Lloyd’s legacy is evident in the many articles and references to antislavery and suffrage found in these scrapbooks, which contain clippings, memorabilia, correspondence, and miscellaneous printed material on a variety of subjects.

Reel 1 contains Agnes Garrison’s scrapbooks, which reflect her interest in the arts, especially music and theater, and her trip to Europe. Of particular interest is a map of Paris circa 1880 (Reel 1, Frame 0085) and a listing of course offerings at the University of Paris (Sorbonne).

George Garrison’s scrapbooks, also on Reel 1, cover a number of topics pertaining to his father. Beginning with the obituary (Reel 1, Frame 0358), George also includes his father’s biography as retold by the children (Reel 1, Frame 0439) and the dedication of a statue in his father’s likeness in Newburyport, Massachusetts (Reel 1, Frame 0442). George, who served as an officer of the Fifty-Fifth Infantry (Reel 1, Frame 0780), attaches a souvenir book of the Massachusetts Fifty-Fourth Regiment and Fifty-Fifth Infantry, with a roster of enlisted men (Reel 1, Frame 0788) and their service records.

Reels 2 through 7 include scrapbooks of WLG (1838), which cover not only his abhorrence to slavery, and racial and sexual discrimination, but also taxation and tariffs. Harvard College is not exempted from WLG (1838)’s wrath as he protests the initiation ritual of a fraternity as “savage” in an open letter to the president and faculty (Reel 4, Frame 0004). Intercollegiate sports, football in particular, are also the subject of violence, and yet there are multiple clippings of Harvard’s intense rivalry with Yale University.

Reel 2 news clippings include obituaries, proceedings in the Massachusetts state legislature (Frame 0008), abolishment of slavery in the British West Indies (Frame 0010), antislavery addresses to the American Missionary Association (Frame 0012) and the Anti-Slavery Society in New York (Frame 0023), and an honorary dinner with Paul Morphy, a chess champion, sponsored by the Boston Chess Club (Frame 0020). Also included are biographies of writers, poems, excerpts from books, travel correspondence, a speech in support of public education, and a narrative on slave insurrection in South Carolina. News from the pre–Civil War period includes Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration and the capture of Harper’s Ferry by John Brown.

Reel 3 includes documents on WLG (1838) and his business ventures, the war in the Philippines, antiwar activities, anti-imperialism, taxation, and tariff issues. Also included are photos of his student days.

Reel 4 continues with antiwar rhetoric and the war in the Philippines and support for self-government. Also included are WLG (1838) and his denunciation of Delta Kappa Epsilon and general opinions on fraternities, and education issues, including intercollegiate athletics.

Of interest in Reel 5 is the story of the lynching of a Black postmaster in South Carolina and subsequent “anti-lynching lecture tour” by his surviving family. Lillian Jewett, a woman from the north, secretly traveled by train to convince the postmaster’s widow and children to return with her to Boston (Reel 5, Frame 0138). Other topics covered on this reel include the formation of a national Black business league (Frame 0222), a visit by Irish nationalists to further the cause of the United Irish League (Frame 0255), Chinese immigration issues (Frame 0259), WLG (1838)’s address

xii

on war (Frame 0312), and the single tax issue (Frame 0430). There is even a small item about a robbery of WLG (1838) (Frame 0216).

Reel 6 subjects include addresses on democracy (Frame 0006) and labor (Frame 0015) by WLG (1838), the centennial celebration of Ralph Waldo Emerson (Frame 0024), gubernatorial election in Ohio (Frame 0028), Armenian massacre (Frame 0134) and honoring Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute (Frame 0134).

Reel 7 contains his “non-resistance” speech followed by letters from admirers (Frame 0010); an obituary of Wendell Phillips Garrison, brother of WLG (1838); a meeting to support the international peace movement (Frame 0043); a protest of Jim Crow laws (Frame 0058); an open letter by WLG (1838) to the governor of New York on tariff (Frame 0113); “Democracy and Imperialism”; an address by Thomas M. Osborne at the Anti-Imperialist League of Boston (Frame 0120); and a memoriam to WLG (1805) (Frame 0129).

Included on Reel 7 is an addendum to the UPA collection Garrison Family Papers, Series 2: Diaries, 1854–1995. These scrapbooks owned by WLG (1838) consist of his diary and news clippings. Some notable subjects include the arrest, interviews (while jailed), and execution of John Brown. Of particular interest is his last will and testament (Frame 0141) and an extract of John Brown’s sayings such as, “It is nothing to die in a good cause, but an eternal disgrace to sit still in the presence of the barbarities of American slavery” (Frame 0148). A rather touching article covers the visit of Brown’s wife prior to his execution (Frame 0151).

The year 1859 appears to have left a deep impression on the twenty-two-year-old WLG (1838). In his diary entry of December 31, he writes: “What an eventful year the past has been—memorable not only for the great persons who have died, but for historical events that will [be remembered for] centuries to come.” The entry includes the names of those who passed away and noteworthy news items of the year (Frame 0193).

Another notable entry in the diary of WLG (1938) is that of May 28, 1863. The Garrison family gathered to watch the departure of the all-Black Massachusetts 54th Regiment. In spite of the warm day in which two of the soldiers were overcome by the heat, the diary notes that “The review was excellent.” The entry adds: “It was a memorable day for Boston & suggested the broad contrast between this week & anniversary week of nine years ago when Anthony Burns was marched down State St. to slavery” (Frame 0419). The following day’s entry (May 29) includes WLG (1838) attending a speech the previous evening by Frederick Douglass honoring the 54th Regiment.

References to the Civil War abound in the diary for 1863. The entry for June 17, for example, includes “the rebels have crossed the Rappahannock & are invading Pennsylvania” (Frame 422). The entry from June 17 reads “The air is full of rumors of Lee’s invading army” (Frame 0423), and for July 7, the entry reads, “Hurrah! Vicksburg unconditionally surrendered on July 4th” (Frame 0427).

Researchers will, without a doubt, find the lives of this abolitionist family absorbing. This collection includes not only passionate speeches and news clippings against slavery, women’s suffrage, and the expansionist policy of the country, but also obscure, yet fascinating, news of the day. There are articles on disasters (natural or otherwise) such as a building collapse, major fires, train wrecks, and labor strikes at a shoe factory. Obituary columns include the historically famous as well as individuals whose names were forgotten by history but nonetheless led lives worthy of mention in the headlines before and after the Civil War. As with every generation, tax and tariff issues are of concern to all citizens, including the Garrison family, and its merits and demerits are debated in town hall meetings and news columns. What might have been a “business as usual” fraternity initiation has, for WLG (1838), become a platform to condemn the “dissipation and immorality surrounding the undergraduate” (Reel 4, Frame 0004).

The Garrison Family Papers, Series 9: Scrapbooks, 1833–1908, will be of interest to those who are looking at how issues as major as civil rights or as personal as whether or not to attend college affected the individual lives and integrity of a family who lived in the mid-1800s to the early 1900s.

SOURCE NOTE

Garrison Family Papers, Series 9: Scrapbooks, 1833–1908, has been microfilmed from the Garrison Family Papers, Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts.

EDITORIAL NOTE

The Scrapbooks microfilmed in Series 9 are housed in boxes 278–290 of the Garrison Family Papers collection. The two diaries filmed on Reel 7, as an addendum to Series 2: Diaries, 1854–1995, are housed in Box 34 of the Garrison Family Papers collection. These two diaries were not filmed originally with the other materials in Series 2 because of concerns about the condition of the diaries. At the completion of filming the other parts of the collection, LexisNexis staff and Smith archivists reassessed the condition of these two diaries and determined that filming them would allow for the long-term preservation of the diaries. LexisNexis is pleased that these two very valuable diaries have been included in the microfilm edition of the Garrison Family Papers.
