Slocum's raid
Rare Books
"Slocum was after an army payroll worth half a million dollars. He had seven men to do it with, half of them fighting over the hot little blonde, the other half looking to kill him as soon as he turned his back. Then there were the federal troops scouring the country, trying to nail his hide. One thing was for sure: Slocum was either going to come out of this rich - or dead"--Back cover.

Tom Logan letters to Maude Hurd
Manuscripts
Small group of letters includes 12 letters from Tom Logan to Maude Hurd and 1 letter from Hurd to Logan from 1884 through 1885. In Logan's letters, he describes events on the Southern Great Plains, including the dispatch of his company to help control the incursions of Euro-American settlers into lands within the Indian Territory (foreshadowing the land rushes of 1889 and 1893). They offer insight into his views of Indians and of the western landscape where he served. Additionally, they offer insights into the rituals and rhetoric of courtship. Logans' letters contain varied assertions and entreaties about the pace of his efforts, the sincerity of his feelings and the depth of his commitment. In Hurd's only letter to him, she closes the circle by her excoriation of him for having abandoned their correspondence. There is a transcript included with each letter.

Wrought Iron Range Co. (brochures)
Visual Materials
The Greene and Greene Collection contains a wide variety of materials, from Greene and Greene ancestor, architect/engineer James Sumner's "Memo of the Timber wanted for the Steeple in Providence," dated 1775, and a diary of a European grand tour from 1829 to 1931 by an English ancestor of Charles Greene's wife, Alice, to drawings and photographs of Greene and Greene works from the time of construction through the close of the 20th century. The bulk of the collection dates from 1889 to 1975. Photographs comprise most of the records documenting their architecture. There is a small number of architectural drawings; most of the firm's drawings are housed at the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library at Columbia University, New York City, with a smaller collection of drawings from the estate of Charles Greene at the Environmental Design Archives, University of California, Berkeley. The collection is organized into four series: I. Personal papers, II. Office records, III. Job (project) records (including furniture), and IV. Related research materials. In general, the papers and records of both brothers have been kept together for the periods in which they were living together as students and young men, and for the period when they were partners in the firm of Greene and Greene. Within each series, the organization follows the separate lives and works of each brother from the dates at which they diverge. Although the collection has been assembled from many different sources, most items have a unique accession number identifying the donor, so that the researcher can easily identify the source of most documents.
