Abstract: |
The Sidney Edgerton Papers (1846-1901) contain correspondence, speeches, certificates, and biographical matter. The correspondence is the majority of the collection, particularly those letters between Edgerton and his wife, Mary. The Civil War is the prominent subject, especially as it is seen from Congress and from the people of the Akron area. The expansion of the West is also seen through the letters and speeches. |
