| RG 30/88 - Lucy Fletcher Kellogg Family (1793-1891) |
|---|
| Scope and Content |
| This collection, which consists of correspondence, notebooks, legal papers, and printed materials, provides information on the lives of Lucy Fletcher Kellogg and her family as well as on life in the Louisiana cities of Minden and New Orleans from 1836 to 1852. Kellogg’s account of her life is preserved in both manuscript and printed forms, 1879 and 1881. In addition to information on family life and changes of residence, Kellogg describes her youth in New England, where she produced textiles in her parent’s home to support herself. Family letters among siblings, cousins, and aunts, 1836-51, discuss devout Protestant feelings of isolation in the apparently unchristian rural areas of Louisiana, the education of children, and abolitionism. Lucy Fletcher Kellogg’s two notebooks contain copied poetry and diary entries from throughout her life. Two notebooks kept by Kate Birge, 1882, and n.d., contain pieces of poetry and some recipes. Some family legal papers and nineteen (19) Civil War letters written by George M. Kellogg are also included. |
