Scope and Content Note
The Breckinridge Family Papers consist of approximately 200,000 manuscripts
and span the years 1752-1965. While there are some manuscripts of other
family members, the bulk of the collection is composed of the papers of
John Breckinridge, Robert Jefferson Breckinridge, John Cabell Breckinridge,
William C. P. Breckinridge, Joseph Cabell Breckinridge, Mary Desha,
Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge, Madeline (McDowell) Breckinridge, and
Henry Breckinridge.
The papers of John Breckinridge (1760-1806), which are among the most
important of the entire collection, are located in volumes 1-31. They
relate to his service as attorney general of Kentucky, his work in the
Kentucky state legislature as representative of Fayette County, and his
career in the U.S. Senate and as attorney general of the United States. Of
particular significance are those manuscripts relating to the Kentucky
Resolutions of 1798 and 1799, opposing the Alien and Sedition Acts enacted
by Congress. The Resolutions of 1798 were written by Breckinridge's close
friend Thomas Jefferson and were guided through the Kentucky legislature by
Breckinridge. In 1799, Breckinridge composed the second set of resolutions.
Among the outstanding correspondents represented in John Breckinridge's
papers are Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Marshall, James Monroe,
and Isaac Shelby, the first governor of Kentucky.
The papers of Robert Jefferson Breckinridge (1800-1871), numbering
approximately 9,000 items, are dated from 1807 through 1871 and consist of
a diary, correspondence, a small subject file, a speech, article, and book
file, and miscellaneous items. Although Breckinridge was trained as a
lawyer and engaged in legal practice for the first six years of his career,
the death of two of his children and the sudden decline in his own health
caused him to turn to religion. He joined the Presbyterian church and
became a minister in 1832. Within his correspondence are letters from
Samuel Miller, an eminent professor of Christian history and government at
Princeton University, from other theologians, and from members of his
family. The bulk of his papers consists of speeches, sermons, articles, and
the holograph of his most notable book, The Knowledge of God.
The papers of John Cabell Breckinridge (1821-1875) are most numerous for
the years 1854-1857. They consist mainly of letters from constituents
during the time he served in Congress. There is little correspondence for
the years 1861-1867 when he served in the Confederate Army and, following
the war, lived in exile in Europe. However, his papers resume in 1868 when
he returned to America and entered into law practice in Lexington,
Kentucky. There are a few letters which he received from Braxton Bragg,
Jubal A. Early, James Guthrie, John Marshall Harlan, and Robert E. Lee.
The papers of William Campbell Preston Breckinridge (1837-1904) cover the
years 1851 through 1904 and consist of approximately 14,000 items,
including a journal, correspondence, subject files, a speech and article
file, financial papers, and miscellaneous items. Following his graduation
from the Louisville (Kentucky) Law College in 1857, Breckinridge practiced
law in Lexington until he joined the Confederate forces of Gen. John H.
Morgan in July 1862 and served as colonel in command of the 9th Kentucky
Cavalry. His papers contain a letterbook of official army correspondence
for the years 1862-1864. A large number of letters he wrote to his wife,
Issa, during this period are with her manuscripts in the last group of
Breckinridge family papers ( Other Family Members). After the war he
resumed his law practice and was editor of the Lexington Observer and
Reporter until his election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1884,
where he served until 1894. He was a superb speaker, and his papers contain
the texts of many of his most notable addresses. His last years were
clouded by a paternity suit, and there is much correspondence as well as
items in the subject file concerning this suit, Pollard v. Breckinridge.
The papers of Joseph Cabell Breckinridge (1842-1920) cover the years
1844-1909 and number approximately 55,000 items. With the beginning of the
Civil War, J. C. Breckinridge joined the Union Army in Kentucky in August
of 1861 and remained in military service until his retirement in 1903.
Although there is only a small amount of material relating to the Civil
War, the remainder of his career, including the period from 1889 to 1903
when he served as inspector general of the Army, is well documented. One of
his major interests was the organization, Sons of the American Revolution.
He was vice president general of the group from 1892 to 1899 and president
general from 1900 to 1901. Approximately one-fourth of his correspondence
relates to this subject. It is also prominent in his subject file, and
there is also a large body of speeches and articles prepared for the Sons
of the American Revolution and other military-oriented groups. Among the
correspondents are William C. Church, Edward M. Gallaudet, Adolphus
Washington Greely, John M. Harlan, Rutherford B. Hayes, Henry W. Lawton,
Henry Cabot Lodge, William McKinley, Nelson A. Miles, Horace Porter,
Redfield Proctor, and Theodore Roosevelt.
Approximately 2,000 items of Mary Desha (1850-1911) span the years
1892-1910 and contain a small group of correspondence, a subject file, and
miscellaneous items. Mary Desha, William C. P. Breckinridge's
sister-in-law, was one of three founders of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, and the greater part of her manuscripts relate to that
organization for the period 1894-1910.
The papers of Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge (1866-1948) number about
14,000 items and cover the years 1873 through 1949. The bulk of the
manuscripts is made up of correspondence which covers the entire range of
her activities in the field of social work: studies of delinquent children,
juvenile court legislation, administration of aid to needy mothers, and
numerous other aspects of the developing social welfare programs of the
United States. The greater part of Sophonisba P. Breckinridge's
correspondence dates from 1933 to 1948, for although she retired as
professor of public welfare at the University of Chicago in 1933, she
continued to use her office at the university to correspond and work for
the passage of social legislation until her death. In 1933 President
Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed her as a delegate to the Pan-American
Conference in Montevideo, Uruguay, and her work there is fully documented
in the papers. Among the outstanding correspondents who are well
represented in her papers are Jane Addams, Alben W. Barkley, Ernest H.
Gruening, Cordell Hull, Harold L. Ickes, Frances Perkins, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, and Fred M. Vinson.
The papers of Madeline (McDowell) Breckinridge (1872-1920), wife of Desha
Breckinridge, number approximately 11,000 items and span the years 1895 to
1921. Madeline Breckinridge was extraordinarily active and effective in
bringing about social reforms on the local level in the city of Lexington
and throughout the state of Kentucky and the nation. Her correspondence,
speeches and articles, and an extensive subject file concern her work with
civic leagues, women's clubs, and various state commissions. She was
chairman of the Legislative Committee of the Kentucky Federation of Women's
Clubs for four years, during which time she helped secure legislation to
create a state library commission and a forestry commission. Large portions
of her subject file deal with her efforts to create a state tuberculosis
commission, to establish parks and playgrounds, and to build a model
vocational school. The largest part of the subject file concerns her work
on behalf of woman suffrage (1901-1920). Within her correspondence are
numerous letters from Carrie Chapman Catt, Antoinette Funk, Ruth Hanna
McCormick Simms, Anna Howard Shaw, Jouett Shouse, and Stephen S. Wise.
The papers of Henry Breckinridge (1886-1960) consist of diaries,
correspondence, speeches, and articles for the years 1909-1954. In 1913, at
the age of twenty-seven, Breckinridge was appointed to serve as assistant
secretary of war in President Woodrow Wilson's first cabinet, a which he
held until his resignation three years later due to disagreement with the
administration's defense policies. This phase of his career is well
documented in diaries, correspondence, and speeches. Of particular interest
are his diary entries for August 6 through September 28, 1914, which
describe his trip to Europe to render assistance to thousands of Americans
stranded there since the beginning of World War I. After the United States
entered the war, Breckinridge served in Europe as commander of an army
battalion. He returned to his law practice in New York City in 1919.
Henry Breckinridge's correspondence contains letters from other members of
the family, mainly Desha and Sophonisba P. Breckinridge, and from business
acquaintances and friends. Among the more significant correspondents are
Harold Dodds, president of Princeton University, Alfred M. Landon, Hjalmar
J. Procope, Finnish minister to the United States (1939-1944), James W.
Wadsworth, and William Allen White. After the kidnapping of Charles
Lindbergh's son in 1932, Breckinridge was engaged by Lindbergh as his legal
counsel during the ransom negotiations. The papers contain Breckinridge's
correspondence with Dr. John F. Condon (Jafsie) who acted as Lindbergh's
intermediary. A substantial part of Breckinridge's correspondence and
speech and article file reflects his interest in national politics. In 1934
he ran unsuccessfully as the candidate of the Constitutional Party for U.S.
Senator from New York, and in 1936 he entered presidential preferential
primaries in four states opposing President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New
Deal.
Papers of other Breckinridge family members are also located within bound
volumes 1-515, chronologically arranged for the period 1752-1904, and in
containers 828-849, which are alphabetically arranged by family member.
Within this latter group, the papers of Desha Breckinridge (1867-1935)
editor and publisher of the Lexington Morning Herald from 1897 to 1935, are
of particular interest.
Among a group of additional items given to the Library in 1981 by James T.
Breckinridge are papers of Clifton Rodes Breckinridge, who served in the
U.S. House of Representatives from 1883 to 1894 and was American minister
to Russia, 1894-1897. Among his correspondents are Henry T. Allen,
President Grover Cleveland, Hilary Abner Herbert, Tom L. Johnson, Thomas O.
Selfridge, Adlai E. Stevenson and Oscar S. Straus. Letters written by
Clifton Breckinridge's wife, Katherine Carson Breckinridge, over the years
1894-1897 give a detailed and fascinating picture of life in czarist
Russia. These letters are located within her own correspondence (containers
852-853) and in the papers of her aunt, Susanna Preston Lees (container
866). There are also additional papers of Civil War general John Cabell
Breckinridge. They include correspondence with members of his family and
others for the years 1849-1875, as well as diaries describing his travels
in England, Europe, Palestine and Egypt (August 1866-March 1868) during his
