Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
This collection is primarily made up of letters between members of this Tuscaloosa, Alabama, family between 1838 and 1883, the majority of which were written between 1850 and 1868. Most of the letters were written by Henry S. and Isabelle Donoho and their Aunt Peek. There are also a few letters from Charles M. (the father) and Charles M. (the son), as well as some from other relations and friends.
Many of the war-time letters are particularly poignant, especially those between Isabelle and Aunt Peek. They offer some insight into the general mood and mind of those on the home front. Several of Henry's letters give vivid commentary of significant events including the battles around Chattanooga, Missionary Ridge, and the fall of Atlanta.
The persons shown in the photographs are not identified, but there is a possibility that they are two of the authors of the letters.
