| 2 | Author: | Foulke, William Parker, 1816-1865 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | William Parker Foulke Papers, 1840-1865
| | | | Dates: | 1840-1865 | | | | Abstract: | Among his many interests, Foulke was concerned with the colonization of West Africa for settlement of ex-slaves. As an agent for the Pennsylvania Colonization Society, Foulke kept a valuable diary of his activities in 1852. Colonization also appears as a theme in his correspondence with Edward Everett (1794-1865), Elliott Cresson (1796-1854), John H. B. Latrobe (1803-1891), William Francis Lynch (1801-1865), and William McLain (1855-1857), among others. Many of the above letters have been digitized, and a gallery to promote the study of the colonization cause in the Foulke Papers can be found here: https://diglib.amphilsoc.org/gallery-colonization-foulke | | | | Call #: | Mss.B.F826 | | | | Extent: | 3.75 Linear Feet | | | | |
