Abstract
Research papers compiled by Dr. Summers for a biography regarding William Lyne Wilson (1843-1900), a Virginian born in Charles
Town who served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, and as President of both West Virginia University (1882-1883)
and Washington and Lee University (1897-1900), among other positions. The collection includes notes, newspaper clippings,
pamphlets, and photographs arranged loosely by chapter. The notes include typescript and handwritten copies of letters, newspaper
accounts, and articles. A 1969 addendum to the collection includes one box of typescript notes chiefly concerning tariffs
and protectionism.
