C. C. VAUGHN PAPERS
Inventory
Abstract: C. C. Vaughn of Franklin, Va., was cashier with
Vaughn & Company, Bankers. He served as captain of
the 4th Virginia Volunteers during the Spanish-
American War and later as brigadier general with the
1st Brigade Virginia Volunteers.
Letters and other materials relating to C. C.
Vaughn. Materials 1898-1899 are chiefly letters to
his wife in Franklin, Va., from Vaughn in training
camp at Richmond and with the troops in Cuba, first at
Havana and later at Santiago de Cuba. These letters
include some information about camp life and the
conduct of the war, but they are primarily concerned
with deals Vaughn made for timber land around Santiago
de Cuba. Most materials 1907-1912 relate to Brigadier
General Vaughn's efforts to secure training grounds
for his troops; 1916 materials concern readying his
men for muster into the U. S. Army.
