The papers of Horace Harmon Lurton (1844-1914) span the years 1860-1934, with the bulk of the material dating from 1893 to 1915. Correspondence for the period 1860-1867 includes letters by Lurton written while he was attending school at the first University of Chicago (in operation, 1857-1886) and as a Confederate prisoner of war in Ohio. Most are to A. W. B. Allen of Louisville, Kentucky. There are no papers for the period 1867-1893. The remainder of the papers consists primarily of letters and telegrams received, the draft of an address, and a small amount of printed matter. The correspondence centers on legal and political subjects. Among the correspondents are William R. Day, John Marshall Harlan, Joseph Rucker Lamar, Whitelaw Reid, Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), Elihu Root, William H. Taft, and Edward Douglass White.
