                            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.
