Scope and Content Note<br />

The papers <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Montgomery</strong> family record the activities <strong>of</strong> five generations <strong>of</strong> the family and also include two smaller<br />

groups <strong>of</strong> papers belonging to the Peck and Perkins families that were merged with the <strong>Montgomery</strong> family by the marriage<br />

<strong>of</strong> George Redington <strong>Montgomery</strong> to Helen M. Perkins in 1907. The collection spans the years 1771-1974, with the bulk <strong>of</strong><br />

the material from 1858 to 1974, and is organized into three series: Peck <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Papers</strong>, Perkins <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Papers</strong>, and<br />

<strong>Montgomery</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Papers</strong>. Included are correspondence, speeches and writings, financial papers, newspaper clippings, a<br />

large assemblage <strong>of</strong> miscellany, and a special segment <strong>of</strong> correspondence and papers relating to the work <strong>of</strong> the Inter-allied<br />

Commission on Mandates in Turkey (King-Crane Commission) after World War I and the Armenia-America Society.<br />

The Peck <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Papers</strong> are primarily those <strong>of</strong> Frank Henry Peck, a maternal cousin <strong>of</strong> Helen Perkins <strong>Montgomery</strong>.<br />

Although the Peck <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Papers</strong> cover the years 1771-1946, most are concentrated within the period 1856-1864 and<br />

consist <strong>of</strong> correspondence between Frank Peck and his mother and brother. The letters written between 1856 and 1857 are<br />

concerned with his first job as a teacher following his graduation from Yale University. The first <strong>of</strong> the Civil War letters,<br />

written in the spring <strong>of</strong> 1862 after he had joined the 12th Connecticut Infantry Regiment, reflect the anxiety and trepidation<br />

that the new recruit felt in anticipation <strong>of</strong> his first encounter with the enemy. Later letters contain accounts <strong>of</strong> troop<br />

activities and reconnoitering expeditions, and the letters <strong>of</strong> April 19 and 30 and May 4, 1862, describe in detail the<br />

bombardment <strong>of</strong> Fort Jackson and Fort Saint Philip, and finally, the capitulation <strong>of</strong> the city <strong>of</strong> New Orleans. Some <strong>of</strong> the<br />

letters written during this period are good sources for impressions and accounts <strong>of</strong> the military occupation <strong>of</strong> New Orleans.<br />

The Perkins <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Papers</strong> span the years 1832-1953, but the nucleus <strong>of</strong> the series is the Civil War correspondence <strong>of</strong><br />

Newton William Perkins written between 1861 and 1866. Perkins, the father <strong>of</strong> Helen Perkins <strong>Montgomery</strong>, was a colonel<br />

and later brevet major with the 13th Connecticut Infantry Regiment. His letters, written from on board various ships and<br />

from different camps, trace the movement <strong>of</strong> his regiment from Connecticut to New Orleans and back to Washington, D.C.,<br />

and Virginia as changes were made in the strategy <strong>of</strong> the war. The letters also recount his daily duties and experiences and<br />

describe the general hardships endured by the soldiers. Some regimental muster rolls and papers from his service as provost<br />

marshal are included in the collection.<br />

The series <strong>of</strong> <strong>Montgomery</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Papers</strong> extend from 1858 to 1974 and are centered around George Redington<br />

<strong>Montgomery</strong> and Marshall Hugh <strong>Montgomery</strong>. The closeness that existed between the members <strong>of</strong> the family is reflected in<br />

family correspondence forming about one third <strong>of</strong> the series. The letters generally relate to family matters, but also touch on<br />

other areas. Emily Redington <strong>Montgomery</strong>’s letters to her children are significant for their glimpses <strong>of</strong> Turkey during the<br />

awakening <strong>of</strong> national consciousness among the countries <strong>of</strong> the Ottoman Empire. They contain references to the treatment<br />

<strong>of</strong> non-Muslems, mention uprisings in various towns, and provide insight into the difficulties <strong>of</strong> operating a Christian<br />

mission school in Turkey during the reign <strong>of</strong> Abdul-Hamid II, Sultan <strong>of</strong> the Turks. George Redington <strong>Montgomery</strong>’s letters<br />

to his family during 1918-1919 report his observations on America’s participation in the Paris Peace Conference after<br />

World War II and comment on the attitudes and objectives <strong>of</strong> the Allied Powers at the conference.<br />

The bulk <strong>of</strong> the general correspondence in the <strong>Montgomery</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Papers</strong> series consists <strong>of</strong> letters received and a few<br />

copies <strong>of</strong> letters sent by George Redington <strong>Montgomery</strong>; Mary Borglum (daughter <strong>of</strong> Giles Foster <strong>Montgomery</strong> and Emily<br />

Redington <strong>Montgomery</strong>) and her husband, Gutzon Borglum; and Marshall Hugh <strong>Montgomery</strong>. Those <strong>of</strong> George<br />

<strong>Montgomery</strong> relate to the development <strong>of</strong> his career and to his church activities. Correspondents include James Trowbridge,<br />

Robert Lansing, John L. Franklin, Ernest Gallaudet Draper, Eugene Meyer, Homer S. Cummings, and Henry Cabot Lodge<br />

(1850-1924). Most <strong>of</strong> Mary’s letters are to and from friends, although some <strong>of</strong> the later ones pertain to her financial<br />

problems. The letters <strong>of</strong> Marshall are a commentary on his standing in the community. They show his support <strong>of</strong><br />

community and public service projects, his participation in local government, and his interest in local history.<br />

The business papers in the <strong>Montgomery</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Papers</strong> contain correspondence and printed matter covering the thirty years<br />

Marshall Hugh <strong>Montgomery</strong> served as a dealer in securities on Wall Street where he pioneered the use <strong>of</strong> repurchase<br />

<strong>Montgomery</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Papers</strong> 6


agreements. For the most part, the papers contain little information on specific financial dealings. Those representing his<br />

years with D. W. Rich & Company are mainly letters exchanged with members <strong>of</strong> the firm while he was on military leave<br />

during the World War II. The letters kept him abreast <strong>of</strong> developments in the <strong>of</strong>fice and up to date on his financial interests<br />

in the company. The papers accumulated during his years with Aubrey G. Langston & Company are more typical <strong>of</strong> the<br />

kinds <strong>of</strong> activities and duties he performed with the company. There are telex messages, internal correspondence, notices <strong>of</strong><br />

meetings <strong>of</strong> financial associations, lists <strong>of</strong> banks and corporations for which Aubrey G. Langston & Company purchased<br />

securities, and drafts <strong>of</strong> business letters, including two that explain how repurchase agreements worked.<br />

The subject files in the <strong>Montgomery</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Papers</strong> relate to Turkey. In May 1919 George Rediington <strong>Montgomery</strong> was<br />

authorized to accompany Henry Churchill King and Charles Richard Crane on a trip to Turkey to study political and<br />

economic conditions and to ascertain the views <strong>of</strong> the people regarding the settlement <strong>of</strong> the Near Eastern question. The<br />

papers <strong>of</strong> the King-Crane Commission consist primarily <strong>of</strong> the notes he took at the towns where the commission heard<br />

testimony. Some working papers used in preparing the commission’s report and a copy <strong>of</strong> the report as published in the<br />

December 2, 1922, issue <strong>of</strong> Editor and Publisher are also included in the collection.<br />

The treatment <strong>of</strong> the Armenians and other Christians was a recurring problem prior to and during the dissolution <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Ottoman Empire. The question <strong>of</strong> a homeland for the Armenians arose again following the defeat <strong>of</strong> Turkey and the need to<br />

settle the situation in the Near East at the end <strong>of</strong> World War I. In 1920 the Armenia-America Society was formed to secure<br />

American support for the Armenian cause. George Redington <strong>Montgomery</strong> became its director. His collection <strong>of</strong> Armenia-<br />

America Society papers documents the activities <strong>of</strong> that organization in the United States and abroad, including the final<br />

appeal <strong>of</strong> the society to the Lausanne Conference <strong>of</strong> 1923 and the trip <strong>of</strong> George <strong>Montgomery</strong> to Russia on behalf <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Armenians.<br />

The miscellany section <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Montgomery</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Papers</strong> contains an extensive record <strong>of</strong> the family’s activities. It includes<br />

newspaper clippings about members <strong>of</strong> the family, their scholastic records, memorabilia from high school and college days,<br />

diplomas, military papers, and other personal material.<br />
