Item Details
Sent on behalf of largely African American sharecroppers working for cotton plantation owners or lumber mills, (11) requests dating between 1908 and 1927.
The personal relationship to the farmhands by the owners shines through their requests, some with care for the speed of the license’s arrival and many using the words ‘colored’ and ‘negro’ behind applicants names.
Measure at largest 8.5 x 11” w/original folds, pen notations from use and staple holes. Powerful grouping.
