Charles Cleaves Daniels (1864-1951), North Carolina and New York City lawyer, brother of Josephus Daniels, worked for the United States government during the 1890s in connection with the protection of Indian lands from fraud in Wyoming, Utah, Connecticut, and Oklahoma, and later in Minnesota and New York. His wife, Mary Robinson, was from Franklin, N.C.

The collection is chiefly writings by Charles Cleaves Daniels, including part of a book about Wyoming, emphasizing particularly his opposition to control by cattle barons; reminiscences of his life in North Carolina and the West; and articles about North Carolina, western, legal, and business topics, written chiefly in the spirit of "trust-busting." Also included are two letters concerning the affairs of the Chippewa (Ojibwa) Indians in Minnesota; family reminiscences by Frank Arthur Daniels (1858-1939); and childhood reminiscences by Mary Cleaves Seabrook Daniels (1835-1923), mother of Josephus Junior, Charles C., and Frank A. Daniels. There are also two photographs taken in Wyoming, one of J. L. Passo, circa 1880-1890, and one of eleven men on horseback, 1895.
