Abstract | Photocopies of letters, 1830s-1870s, to and from Moses Ashley Curtis, Episcopal priest, teacher, and noted mycologist, who lived in Wilmington, Raleigh, and Hillsborough, N.C., and Society Hill, S.C. These documents were collected by Edmund and Dorothy Smith Berkeley in preparation for their biography of Curtis, published in 1986 as "A Yankee Botanist in the Carolinas: the Reverend Moses Ashley Curtis, D.D. (1808- 1872)," and were gathered from repositories in the United States and Europe. Many of the letters are grouped together according to where the originals are housed. Letters chiefly relate to Curtis's botanical studies, particularly to his investigations of various kinds of mushrooms. |
