Louise Olivereau (1884-1963) was an anti-war activist who was charged with sedition for mailing circular letters encouraging young men to become conscientious objectors during World War I. She was sentenced to ten years in prison, but served only 28 months. Letters in the collection are from Olivereau to her friend Minnie Parkhurst of Seattle, Washington, or letters referring to her, 1918-1920 and 1963. Letters chiefly relate to Olivereau's imprisonment in Colorado State Penitentiary
