397. BENJAMIN HUGER PAPERS

ca. 600 items, ca. 1830-70 microfilm (M-2277-79)
Correspondence of this career army officer from South Carolina who served in the Mexican War and the Civil War. There is practically no material on blacks, but an October 10, 1837, letter from a friend of Huger, Captain Gait, who was serving in the Indian wars in Florida, mentions that a number of black slaves had surrendered to the post in St. Augustine. He thought that the slaves were let loose by the Indians because of a food shortage.
