Abstract | Zach (Zachariah) Montgomery (1825-1900) was a San Francisco, Calif., lawyer who supported the South in the Civil War and refused to take the California "test oath" on constitutional grounds. The collection includes two untitled, handwritten speeches by Montgomery delivered at Democratic mass meetings in San Francisco in 1864. One speech, delivered in August, protests against arrests of those who refused to take the test oath; the other, delivered in September, opposes the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. The texts of these speeches fill 143 pages in a notebook; emendations, but not the texts, are in Montgomery's hand. |
