ERBzine 6674: PHOTOS for BURROUGHS BROTHERS LETTERS

Volume 6674

The Danton Burroughs
Family Album
and
John Coleman Burroughs Archive

PHOTOGRAPHS ADDED TO THE
LETTERS TO HOME
FROM THE
BURROUGHS BROTHERS:
GEORGE and HARRY
1886-1888

Back in 2004, Danton Burroughs shared stacks of personal letters written by his great uncles Harry and George during 1886-88.
These letters from Edgar Rice Burroughs older brothers were sent back home to Chicago from Yale University and summer camp.

I spent countless hours deciphering the handwriting and typing out the contents
across seven very large ERBzine Webpages.
Although the letters didn't contain photographs,
I did an intensive search of the Internet as well as my personal and Burroughs Family Archives
to find relevant photos to illustrate the brothers' letters.

These letters provide a wonderful view of history of that time
and the personal thoughts and experiences of the Burroughs family.
The seven Webpages start at ERBzine 1050.

The Sheffield Scientific School,

from its founding in 1852 until the mid-1940s,
when its engineering courses were absorbed into the growing Yale Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
