Creator | Lapham, Increase Allen (1811-1875); Lapham, Julia Alcott, |
Folder Description | This folder includes typewritten transcriptions by Julia Alcott Lapham of letters sent and received by her father, Increase Allen Lapham. The transciptions also include several essays written by Increase Lapham for Silliman's Journal, a report on imports and exports entering and leaving Milwaukee, Wisconsin, lectures Increase Lapham gave to the Milwaukee Lyceum, and correspondences with various scientists of the day. Increase Lapham's article "Statement of Elevation in Wisconsin" was published in The American Journal of Science and Arts (commonly known as Sillimans Journal). Julia Lapham began in the early 1870s to hand write and then type a chronology of her father's life titled "Autobiography". In the process she destroyed much of Increase Lapham's original correspondence. In the "Notes on Sources" section of the Lapham biography, Studying Wisconsin, the authors comment on the editing and destruction of the original correspondence: "Though she [Julia Lapham] apparently destroyed many original documents, enough remain that we can compare them to her typescript and see that her changes were several types. She corrected her father's spelling errors and punctuation. She omitted some family information that she considered too private. She included almost nothing about his financial or business dealings." Bergland, Martha, and Paul C. Hayes. "Notes on Sources." Studying Wisconsin The Life of Increase Lapham Early Chronicler of Plants, Rocks, Rivers, Mounds, and All Things Wisconsin. State Historical Society of Wisconsin, 2014. 383. |
