The fonds consists of approximately 175 letters written by Charles Dean to his friend Everett Walker of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. Several letters refer to places and events in the Niagara region. Dean visited Niagara Falls and describes his visit in detail a letter dated August 11, 1869. He also comments on the Fenian uprising in two separate letters, and compares the suspension bridge being built over the Ohio River to the suspension bridge over the Niagara River. Many of his letters also refer to the American Civil War. One letter includes a gypsum sample he procured after a visit to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. A book on the 8th Regiment Vermont Volunteers is also included.Collections
