Scope and Contents note
From the Collection:
These papers consist of correspondence, congressional reports, and other materials. The majority deal with Burnham's capture by an Algerian corsair off Gibraltar, his captivity in Algiers, 1793-1794, his attempts to secure his release, and his subsequent efforts to receive reimbursement from the U.S. Congress for the amount of the ransom paid. Some of the papers; however, deal with other matters, including Burnham's voyages, and family matters.
