The Louis D. Carman collection dates from 1828 to 1923 and consists of items accumulated by Louis D. Carman, specifically correspondence and autographs; a friendship album containing poetry; and handwritten excerpts transcribed from books about fishing. A variety of documents bear the signatures of politicians and federal government officials; military generals; and businessmen. Some of the letters reference the Civil War and government and politics during the Reconstruction period. Other correspondence pertains to the Cosmos Club in Washington D.C."}
