SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
This microfilm publication consists of thirty manuscript collections filmed from the
holdings of the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library, Duke University.
The Clement Claiborne Clay papers and Washington M. Smith papers compose the
majority of the collection, while smaller collections consist of a few hundred documents.
The larger collections contain extensive information about the daily life of the families,
while the smaller collections normally have less breadth. Most of the collections focus
on the Reconstruction era and the aftermath of the Civil War. The financial and social
impacts of Reconstruction are vivid in most of the collections. In addition to the letters
and diaries, many collections contain financial information concerning the families.
Though none of the diarists in this collection are as prolific or dedicated as the famed
Civil War diarist Mary Chesnut, their entries are insightful and offer glimpses of their
most private feelings. The Mary Jane Cook Chadick collection records the events of the
Civil War and their impact on life in Alabama. In the early twentieth century the entire
manuscript was transcribed by typewriter, producing a highly readable record of these
events. Although the diary does not begin until 1862, Chadick’s writings detail many
important occurrences in Alabama, including the fall of Huntsville, the Confederate
surrender, and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Chadick’s diary also tells of the
general suffering the war caused and the toll exacted by the separation from her
husband.
Immediately following the Chadick collection are the collected papers of Clement
Claiborne Clay. Clay was a U.S. Senator prior to the Civil War and withdrew from the
Senate when Alabama seceded. He was elected to the Confederate Congress and
served as a diplomatic liaison to Canada, where he attempted to secure diplomatic
recognition of the new country. The collection begins in 1873 but the contents are
relatively sparse until the death of Clement Claiborne Clay in 1882.
Following the death of her husband, Virginia Tunstall Clay faced the enormous task of
managing her family and financial situation. Virginia Clay, already well known because
of her famous husband, was thrust into the public sphere as the defeated Southerners
eulogized and remembered the contribution of Clement Claiborne Clay. Virginia Clay’s
increased public role soon expanded as she became a leader in the United Daughters of
the Confederacy (UDC). The members of the organization felt that Clay possessed the
ideal qualities of a Southern woman and memorialized her by naming multiple UDC
chapters in her honor.
The Grout Family papers offer a fascinating look inside Trinity College, now Duke
University, during the early twentieth century. Julia Grout arrived at Trinity College as
the director of physical education for women, an assistant professorship, in 1924. By the
early 1950s, Grout had increased the scope and impact of the department substantially.
She became a full professor, and the department eventually employed two associate
professors, two assistant professors, and a total of five instructors. Grout’s writings
explore her experiences traveling the world after retirement and include records of her
involvement in the community at large.
v

Following the military destruction of the South in the Civil War, the punitive financial
policies of Reconstruction nearly made the South’s destruction complete. The economic
system of the South was ravaged by the emancipation of the slaves and the costs of the
war. While Reconstruction ended in 1877, the long-term economic impact affected the
South for many years to come. Financial issues plagued Southern families after the war,
and the Washington M. Smith collection details many of these difficulties.
In the early documents of this collection, Susan P. Smith, the widow of Washington
M. Smith, faced the challenges of household management following the loss of her
husband. The family was comparatively well off for the time period, and few financial
issues arose during the time period represented at the beginning of the collection. But
after her children began their adult lives, the financial problems of the family began to
mount. Smith began a long-running quarrel with one son, Oscar E. Smith, concerning
his brother who constantly faced economic ruin. Both Susan and Oscar provided
financial support to Alton D. Smith, but a cycle of monetary dependence began that did
not end until Alton’s death.
In addition to the financial issues, Oscar and Alton felt that their mother was hatefully
withholding their rightful inheritance, including land in St. Paul, Minnesota. Oscar’s
letters became more forceful as time passed, culminating in hateful exchanges between
him and his mother such as this one from Reel 13 Frame 346: “You are the most
persistent nuisance I have ever known”; and this one concerning the treatment of a
house guest by Mrs. Smith on Frame 359: “It has distressed and mortified me beyond
measure at the devilish, fiendish, brutal, diabolical treatment you gave her while she was
at your house.”
In both the Smith and Clay collections, the central challenge of daily life is the
management of the household, more specifically the financial hardships faced by women
and families after the Civil War. The smaller remaining collections provide detailed,
though narrow, snapshots of women during and after Reconstruction. The combination
of these collections affords a broad context of the era while simultaneously offering great
detail in both the large and small manuscripts.
Additional UPA collections of special interest to Southern historians are Race,
Slavery, and Free Blacks: Petitions of Southern Legislatures, 1777–1867; Records of
Southern Plantations from Emancipation to the Great Migration; and Slavery in Ante-
Bellum Southern Industries. Other collections filmed from the Rare Book, Manuscript,
and Special Collections Library, Duke University, include Southern Women and Their
Families in the 19th Century: Papers and Diaries, Series H, Part 1: South Carolina,
Georgia, and Florida and Series H, Part 3: North Carolina and Virginia.

Southern women in the aftermath of the Civil War.
With the economy decimated, and with a dearth of able-bodied men, the
struggles facing women in the South during Reconstruction were
intimidating, if not desperate. But such dire circumstances serve to throw
the determination of these remarkable women—as revealed in these
documents—into sharp relief.
Although portraying many struggles in their writings, these women
managed to display surplus amounts of resilience and courage. The items
in this UPA Microfilm Collection—including poems, journals, and books
aimed at preserving the history and culture of the South—demonstrate
clearly the pride and character of these Southern women of the nineteenth
century.
