Abstract:

Official and personal correspondence, notebooks, ms. of autobiography, drawings, clippings, scrapbooks, and other papers, relating to Wallace's activities as an army officer during the Mexican and Civil wars, governor of New Mexico territory (1878-1881), U.S. minister to Turkey (1881-1885), and author, and his efforts to obtain arms and men for Mexican rebels fighting the French (1865-1867), lecturing, business interests in Crawfordsville and Indianapolis, Ind., and New Mexico, his involvement in the court-martial of conspirators in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and in the trial of Henry Wirz, commandant of Andersonville Prison, Ga., and his membership on a committee to oversee counting disputed ballots in Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina, after the 1876 presidential election.

Papers of Wallace's wife, Susan Elston Wallace (1830-1907), include family correspondence, letters (1881-1882) to her son from Europe, Turkey, and Egypt, and correspondence with publishers regarding her own writings. Letter books of Wallace's son and business agent, Henry Lane Wallace (1853-1926), relate to the family's business interests and a lawsuit involving a theatrical production of Ben-Hur. Papers of Wallace's father-in-law, Isaac C. Elston (1798-1867), of Crawfordsville, Ind., chiefly relate to his interests in developing Michigan City, Ind. (1830-1849). Elston family correspondence (chiefly 1864-1866) is from Crawfordsville, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Washington, D.C.
