Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Calendar of the Papers of Martin Van Buren: Prepared From the Original Manuscripts in the Library of Congress The Van Buren papers listed in the present calendar consist of state papers, correspondence, notes, etc., of Martin Van Buren, collected by himself, for the most part, as current files, or, in his later life, as material for his Autobiography. There are many gaps, due in part to his self-confessed inattention to the care of his papers; in part to his practice of keeping his files within manageable limits by destroying correspondence deemed of little value; in part, no doubt, to the importunities of autograph hunters, before and after his death. With the exception of trifling additions by purchase, they were acquired by the Library of Congress in 1904 and 1905 through the valued gift of Mrs. Smith Thompson Van Buren and Dr. Stuyvesant Fish Morris, who had inherited them from Smith Thompson Van Buren, the son and literary executor of the President. The preliminary work on the calendar was done by Worthington Chauncey Ford, now of the Massachusetts Historical Society, while Chief of the Division of Manuscripts; and it has been completed by Miss Elizabeth H. West, an assistant in this division. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
