2580. Charles Francis Adams, 1835–1915

Adams was a historian and a railroad executive, and both fields led to some of his writings: such as Three Episodes of Massachusetts History (1892), Studies Military and Diplomatic, 1775–1865 (1911), Lee at Appomattox, and Other Papers (1902), and Railroads: Their Origin and Problems (1878). His interest in literature was evidenced by his distinguished biography, Richard Henry Dana (1890. 2 v.). Civil War letters exchanged between C. F. Adams, his father, and Henry Adams may be found in Worthington Chauncey Ford’s two volume. A Cycle of Adams Letters, 1861–1865 (Boston, Houghton Mifflin, 1920).
