Manuscripts
A collection of approximately 970 items from 1862 to 1946, it consists of the professional, political, business and personal papers and correspondence of Henry Mauris Robinson. The main focus of the collection is his work with the President's Second Industrial Conference, Bituminous Coal Commission, President's Conference on Unemployment, and his involvement in the presidential campaign of Herbert Hoover in 1920. The correspondence includes carbon copies of his outgoing correspondence and signed first copies of letters addressed to him. Correspondents include Harry A. Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Herbert N. Shenton, Joseph P. Tumulty, and others. Also included is a group of 25 Civil War letters of Henry Robinson's father, George Foreman Robinson who enlisted for three months in Company F., 16th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Upon expiration of the term, he re-enlisted as 1st Sergeant of Company F., 80th Ohio Infantry, rising to the ranks of Lieutenant and then Captain. He took part in the Northern Mississippi Campaign, including battles of Yuka, Corinth, and Vicksburg. He was wounded and taken prisoner at Missionary Ridge and was honorably discharged as a paroled prisoner of war in 1865. Letters were posted from February 1862 to early October 1864 from Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, and South Carolina, including some items written during the siege of Vicksburg. The letters are addressed mainly to his sister, Emma H. Robinson and discuss camp life, military operations, war news, and war politics. The collection also includes certificates, printed material, and ephemera.
