Other highlights of his career, all of which are reflected in this collection, are authorship of \u003cspan\u003eVirginia Illustrated\u003c/span\u003e (1857) and \u003cspan\u003eCharleston and its Resources\u003c/span\u003e (1878), his work as illustrator for \u003cspan\u003eBlackwater Chronicle\u003c/span\u003e (1853), service during the Civil War as a Union officer, stint as a newspaper editor, and Consul-Generalship to Mexico (1879-1885). According to Strother's biographer, Cecil D. Eby Jr., his writings linked the two traditions of literature in the south, \"the genteel romanticism of the sentimental novelists and the earthy realism of the frontier humorists.\" In 1872-1875 Strother wrote \u003cspan\u003eThe Mountains\u003c/span\u003e, which Eby considers the first important presentation of West Virginia in literature. The collection includes roughly 590 drawings and sketches, 44 volumes of journals, and several boxes of correspondence. An addendum of 2015/06/13 includes one drawing. An addendum of 2007/02/08 includes correspondence, newspaper clippings, announcements, and photographs regarding Strother and related families of the Eastern panhandle of West Virginia. An addendum of 2021/06/04 contains an abridged transcription by Cecil D. Eby Jr., of Strother's diary, 1879-1880, when Strother was General Consul to Mexico.
