Content Description

From the Collection:

The papers chiefly consist of letters Albert Frederick Wilson (1883-1940) sent to his mother in New Jersey while a student at the University of Virginia. There is also some correspondence from Wilson's father and grandfather; family photographs; and unpublished manuscripts by Wilson.

Most of the letters are handwritten. But starting in 1906, typewritten letters become more frequent. The roles of African Americans at the University of Virginia are mentioned several times in his letters.

The rest of the papers include three published books written by Albert Frederick Wilson including ‘Pok O’ Moonshine’, ‘The Township Line’, and ‘Higher than the Wind can Blow’, letters of correspondence between him and his wife, academic papers, testimonials about Albert Sherwood Wilson and his teaching positions, a copy of the April 1917 "University of Virginia Magazine," a scrapbook filled with reviews on Albert Frederick Wilson’s book ‘Pok O’ Moonshine’, photographs of the family, as well as various other documents which explore the lives of the Wilson family.
