Historical Note
The materials in the War of 1812 manuscript collection were acquired principally during
the period 1942 to 1969 from a variety of sources through the cooperative efforts of
historians, librarians, and booksellers. Indiana University history professors Logan
Esarey, R.C. Buley, Donald F. Carmony, Chase C. Mooney, and O.O. Winther all supported
the acquisition of books and manuscripts that would create an in-depth collection to
support serious scholarship. With their librarian colleagues Cecil K. Byrd and Geneva
Warner, they scanned book catalogues, sent out inquiries, and followed up on leads to
manuscript collections. The bookseller partners in the development of the War of 1812
collections included John S. Van E. Kohn and Wright Howes, but one man deserves special
credit for his ongoing engagement in the building of the collection: the Crawfordsville,
Indiana, bookman R. E. Banta. Of particular note, Banta orchestrated the acquisition in
1943 of the important collection of manuscripts assembled by Forest G. Sweet.
The manuscripts described here are one part of a larger body of materials that make up
the War of 1812 collections at the Lilly Library which includes books, broadsides,
prints, periodicals, newspapers, and other manuscript collections. Highlights of the
books and manuscripts are described in the exhibition catalogue,
An exhibit to commemorate the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the beginning of
the War of 1812
, published by the library in 1962.
