Summary
This scrapbook contains over 100 entries, letters, poems, photographs, engravings, clippings and ephemera related primarily to the abolitionist movement. Some items of ephemera (passes, a photograph, a map, etc.) are related to Heaton's work as a quartermaster for the Union Army and to the Battle of Chickamauga. Some entries are related to the push for universal suffrage, and most of these entries discuss the relationship between the suffrage and abolitionist movements. A few pages record attendance at birthday and Christmas dinners given by Heaton, and one ticket (p. 103) records Heaton's 1843 trip to Niagara Falls. Notable contributors include Susan B. Anthony, Salmon P. Chase, Horace Mann, Lucretia Mott, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, as well as other prominent abolitionists and reformers. Select items and entries have been described individually in 45 catalog records (MA 1305.1-45).
