S. BASSETT FRENCH BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
Description of Collection
Samuel Bassett French (1820-1898), attorney, judge, Confederate officer, and
editor, was a Norfolk native who lived in Chesterfield County and Richmond.
(Accession 21332) Between 1890 and 1897 and in preparation for an intended
biographical dictionary to be titled Annals of Prominent Virginians of the XIX
Century, French compiled biographical information on almost 9,000 men, often
obtaining information either from the subject or members of the immediate
family. This collection consists of those handwritten notes.
CONTRIBUTOR'S NOTE:
The scanned images of the actual handwritten notes can be located here:
http://lvaimage.lib.va.us/collections/BF.html.
Please bear in mind that some of these notes may be only one or two sentences
long and others may be several pages.
