Allison Kemper (1787-1873). He attended the Locust Dale Academy, then Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) in Lexington, Virginia, graduating in 1842. He read law under George W. Summers (1804-1868) of Kanawha County, (West) Virginia, and received a master's degree from Washington College. Admitted to the bar 2 October 1846, Kemper returned to Madison County to practice law. When the Mexican War began, Kemper was appointed captain in the First Virginia Regiment and served until the end of the war. In 1853, Kemper was elected to the House of Delegates and served until 1863. He was Speaker of the House from 1861 to 1863. Kemper also was appointed a general in the Virginia militia in 1858. When the Civil War began, Kemper was appointed colonel of the 7th Virginia Infantry. Due to his performance at the battle of Seven Pines, Kemper was promoted to brigadier general. He was wounded in Pickett's Charge on 3 July 1863, and was captured by Union troops a few days later. Exchanged in September 1863, he returned to his command. Kemper was put in command of the reserve forces of Virginia in 1864.\n","After the war ended, Kemper returned to his law practice in Madison County and pursued business interests. He was elected governor of Virginia in 1873 and served from 1874 to 1878. Much of his term was spent in dealing with Virginia's debt. On 12 March 1874, Kemper created controversy and angered his Conservative contemporaries by vetoing a bill to transfer control of the city government of Petersburg from elected Republican officials to a board of commissioners appointed by a city judge. Governor Kemper also played an integral part in the unveiling of John Henry Foley's statue to Stonewall Jackson on Capitol Square.\n","After he left the governor's office, Kemper returned to Madison County, then moved to Orange County in 1882. Kemper married Cremora Conway Cave (ca. 1837-1870) 4 July 1853 in Madison County, and they had seven children. Kemper died 7 April 1895 in Orange County and buried at the family cemetery at \"Walnut Hills\" in Madison County.\n","Virginia Governor (1874-1878 : Kemper), Executive papers of Governor James L.

Allison Kemper (1787-1873). He attended the Locust Dale Academy, then Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) in Lexington, Virginia, graduating in 1842. He read law under George W. Summers (1804-1868) of Kanawha County, (West) Virginia, and received a master's degree from Washington College. Admitted to the bar 2 October 1846, Kemper returned to Madison County to practice law. When the Mexican War began, Kemper was appointed captain in the First Virginia Regiment and served until the end of the war. In 1853, Kemper was elected to the House of Delegates and served until 1863. He was Speaker of the House from 1861 to 1863. Kemper also was appointed a general in the Virginia militia in 1858. When the Civil War began, Kemper was appointed colonel of the 7th Virginia Infantry. Due to his performance at the battle of Seven Pines, Kemper was promoted to brigadier general. He was wounded in Pickett's Charge on 3 July 1863, and was captured by Union troops a few days later. Exchanged in September 1863, he returned to his command. Kemper was put in command of the reserve forces of Virginia in 1864.\n","After the war ended, Kemper returned to his law practice in Madison County and pursued business interests. He was elected governor of Virginia in 1873 and served from 1874 to 1878. Much of his term was spent in dealing with Virginia's debt. On 12 March 1874, Kemper created controversy and angered his Conservative contemporaries by vetoing a bill to transfer control of the city government of Petersburg from elected Republican officials to a board of commissioners appointed by a city judge. Governor Kemper also played an integral part in the unveiling of John Henry Foley's statue to Stonewall Jackson on Capitol Square.\n","After he left the governor's office, Kemper returned to Madison County, then moved to Orange County in 1882. Kemper married Cremora Conway Cave (ca. 1837-1870) 4 July 1853 in Madison County, and they had seven children. Kemper died 7 April 1895 in Orange County and buried at the family cemetery at \"Walnut Hills\" in Madison County.\n","Virginia Governor (1874-1878 : Kemper), Executive papers of Governor James L.

He was\n         educated in local schools, with the exception of one year\n         (1907-1908) which he spent at \n          Cluster Springs Academy in \n          Cluster Springs, Virginia . He attended\n         the \n          Virginia Military Institute from 1908 to\n         1911, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree after only\n         three years. Following a year of teaching in a \n          Halifax school, he entered the \n          University of Virginia Law School , and\n         received his LL.B. in 1915. He entered the practice of law in \n          Lynchburg, Virginia , but soon left to\n         serve as a first lieutenant in the First Virginia Infantry\n         --known as the \"Musketeers\"--on the Mexican border from June\n         1916 to February 1917. Promoted to captain in July 1917, he\n         served in the 116th Infantry, 29th Division, \n          American Expeditionary Forces , and saw\n         active service in \n          France from June 1918 to July 1919.\n         Following the Armistice, he attended classes at the \n          Sorbonne , in addition to acting as a\n         judge-advocate for his battalion. He was released from service\n         in August 1919, and received the Distinguished Service Cross,\n         the Croix de Guerre, and the Chevalier Legion of Honor as a\n         result of his military performance.","Upon his return to the \n          United States , \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale resumed his\n         legal practice in \n          Lynchburg . He served as a \n          Virginia state senator from 1924 to 1928,\n         and although this was the extent of his active political\n         career, he formed many valuable political connections,\n         including one with \n          Harry F. Byrd, Sr. , whom he assisted in\n         his campaign for governor. In 1938, Barksdale was named judge\n         of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of \n          Virginia , this being the same position\n         which his father, \n          William Randolph Barksdale , had filled\n         for many years in the early 1900's. In 1940 he was appointed\n         judge of the \n          United States District Court for the\n         Western District of \n          Virginia , and served in this capacity\n         until he retired in 1957. Following his retirement from the\n         bench he continued to do legal work, including service on the\n         Trial Bench and the Court of Appeals, until his death on 16\n         August 1972.","Judge \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale married \n          Estill Winfree Phillips in 1934, and they\n         made their home in \n          Lynchburg until the judge's death. Their\n         family included Mrs. Barksdale's son from her previous\n         marriage, \n          William Causey Phillips, Jr. , and the \n          Barksdale 's two daughters, \n          Louisa Estill Winfree Barksdale Loyd , and \n          Mary B. Garbee .","In addition to his legal career, \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale served on the \n          Board of Trustees of Hollins College for\n         over thirty years, was a member of the \n          Board of Visitors of the University of\n         Virginia for ten years, and was a member of both the\n          Virginia Bar Association and \n          American Bar Association .","For further biographical information, see the typescript\n         biography in control folder no. 10230.","Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment\n            for the Humanities","These papers, consisting of cat 7770 items, (12 boxes, 1\n         oversize folder; 5 linear shelf feet), are the personal papers\n         of Judge \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale of \n          Lynchburg, Virginia . Most of the papers\n         fall between the years 1938 and 1972, with some covering the\n         earlier period of 1918-1919. These periods correspond to the\n         years of \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's career as\n         judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of \n          Virginia and as judge of the U. S.\n         District Court of the Western District of \n          Virginia , and also of his military\n         service during World War I.","The major series in the collection is that of\n         chronologically-arranged personal correspondence, covering the\n         years 1918-1919 and 1940-1972. This correspondence consists\n         chiefly of personal and routine social correspondence with\n         family members, acquaintances, and friends, many of whom were \n          Virginia lawyers, judges, businessmen, and\n         political figures. Prominent correspondents include \n          Virginia senators \n          Harry F. Byrd, Sr. , and \n          Carter Glass ; \n          Virginia governor and \n          University of Virginia president \n          Colgate Darden ; prominent businessman,\n         government official, and Secretary of State \n          Edward R. Stettinius, Jr. ; and speaker of\n         the House of Representatives \n          Sam Rayburn . A minor problem in using the\n         correspondence is that Barksdale's nickname was \"Dick,\" and\n         occasionally people address him as \"Richard\" Barksdale.","The chronological correspondence also includes \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's World War I\n         correspondence with his father, \n          William Randolph Barksdale , his brother; \n          John Barksdale , and other family members\n         and American friends. There are also a substantial number of\n         letters and postcards from acquaintances he made in \n          France , including several young French\n         women. One folder contains official correspondence concerning\n         Barksdale's war honors.","Following the chronological correspondence is a section of\n         topical correspondence and related materials, which include\n         memoranda, newspaper clippings, notes, miscellaneous printed\n         material, etc.. The topics include important court cases,\n         organizations to which \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale belonged, and\n         major turning points in his career, such as his appointment to\n         the district judgeship, and his retirement. The letters\n         relating to Barksdale's appointment to the district judgeship\n         are of particular interest as they shed some light on the\n         processes of political appointments. Other folders contain\n         material concerning Barksdale's World War I unit, Company M,\n         and the \"Musketeers,\" and material regarding Barksdale's\n         associations with \n          Hollins College and the \n          University of Virginia . Some genealogical\n         material is also contained in this section.","A major portion of the collection consists of speeches\n         given by \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale , with\n         background material, correspondence, and miscellaneous items.\n         Barksdale delivered speeches at naturalization ceremonies at \n          Roanoke and other \n          Virginia locations many times over a\n         period of about twenty years. He often spoke to various \n          University of Virginia alumni groups,\n         women's groups, bar associations, and at various \n          Virginia Military Institute , court, and\n         law school functions. Some speeches are related to special\n         functions Barksdale performed such as introducing \n          Greer Garson and \n          John F. Kennedy on the occasions when they\n         spoke in \n          Lynchburg . It should be noted that\n         material in the chronological correspondence overlaps with\n         both topical correspondence and speeches. This material was\n         not transferred as Barksdale had filed it chronologically.","Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's\n         miscellaneous papers and memorabilia consist of family,\n         personal, and professional items. His memorabilia from World\n         War I includes contemporary postcards from places he visited\n         in \n          Europe . Contained in this section, as\n         well as in the section of oversized material, are Barksdale's\n         certificates for awards he won and positions he held. Two\n         folders contain listings of addresses of people with whom he\n         was acquainted.","The printed material section contains printed items used in\n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's military and\n         professional careers, and printed memorabilia from the \n          Virginia Military Institute and the \n          University of Virginia . Three folders of\n         newspaper clippings relate to important events in his life and\n         career, including the trial of several German-American Bund\n         leaders, convicted of violating the Selective Service Act in\n         1942 in \n          New York City , at which \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale served as\n         judge.","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","","University of Virginia.

He was\n         educated in local schools, with the exception of one year\n         (1907-1908) which he spent at \n          Cluster Springs Academy in \n          Cluster Springs, Virginia . He attended\n         the \n          Virginia Military Institute from 1908 to\n         1911, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree after only\n         three years. Following a year of teaching in a \n          Halifax school, he entered the \n          University of Virginia Law School , and\n         received his LL.B. in 1915. He entered the practice of law in \n          Lynchburg, Virginia , but soon left to\n         serve as a first lieutenant in the First Virginia Infantry\n         --known as the \"Musketeers\"--on the Mexican border from June\n         1916 to February 1917. Promoted to captain in July 1917, he\n         served in the 116th Infantry, 29th Division, \n          American Expeditionary Forces , and saw\n         active service in \n          France from June 1918 to July 1919.\n         Following the Armistice, he attended classes at the \n          Sorbonne , in addition to acting as a\n         judge-advocate for his battalion. He was released from service\n         in August 1919, and received the Distinguished Service Cross,\n         the Croix de Guerre, and the Chevalier Legion of Honor as a\n         result of his military performance.","Upon his return to the \n          United States , \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale resumed his\n         legal practice in \n          Lynchburg . He served as a \n          Virginia state senator from 1924 to 1928,\n         and although this was the extent of his active political\n         career, he formed many valuable political connections,\n         including one with \n          Harry F. Byrd, Sr. , whom he assisted in\n         his campaign for governor. In 1938, Barksdale was named judge\n         of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of \n          Virginia , this being the same position\n         which his father, \n          William Randolph Barksdale , had filled\n         for many years in the early 1900's. In 1940 he was appointed\n         judge of the \n          United States District Court for the\n         Western District of \n          Virginia , and served in this capacity\n         until he retired in 1957. Following his retirement from the\n         bench he continued to do legal work, including service on the\n         Trial Bench and the Court of Appeals, until his death on 16\n         August 1972.","Judge \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale married \n          Estill Winfree Phillips in 1934, and they\n         made their home in \n          Lynchburg until the judge's death.

Most of the papers\n         fall between the years 1938 and 1972, with some covering the\n         earlier period of 1918-1919. These periods correspond to the\n         years of \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's career as\n         judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of \n          Virginia and as judge of the U. S.\n         District Court of the Western District of \n          Virginia , and also of his military\n         service during World War I.","The major series in the collection is that of\n         chronologically-arranged personal correspondence, covering the\n         years 1918-1919 and 1940-1972. This correspondence consists\n         chiefly of personal and routine social correspondence with\n         family members, acquaintances, and friends, many of whom were \n          Virginia lawyers, judges, businessmen, and\n         political figures. Prominent correspondents include \n          Virginia senators \n          Harry F. Byrd, Sr. , and \n          Carter Glass ; \n          Virginia governor and \n          University of Virginia president \n          Colgate Darden ; prominent businessman,\n         government official, and Secretary of State \n          Edward R. Stettinius, Jr. ; and speaker of\n         the House of Representatives \n          Sam Rayburn . A minor problem in using the\n         correspondence is that Barksdale's nickname was \"Dick,\" and\n         occasionally people address him as \"Richard\" Barksdale.","The chronological correspondence also includes \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's World War I\n         correspondence with his father, \n          William Randolph Barksdale , his brother; \n          John Barksdale , and other family members\n         and American friends. There are also a substantial number of\n         letters and postcards from acquaintances he made in \n          France , including several young French\n         women. One folder contains official correspondence concerning\n         Barksdale's war honors.","Following the chronological correspondence is a section of\n         topical correspondence and related materials, which include\n         memoranda, newspaper clippings, notes, miscellaneous printed\n         material, etc.. The topics include important court cases,\n         organizations to which \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale belonged, and\n         major turning points in his career, such as his appointment to\n         the district judgeship, and his retirement. The letters\n         relating to Barksdale's appointment to the district judgeship\n         are of particular interest as they shed some light on the\n         processes of political appointments. Other folders contain\n         material concerning Barksdale's World War I unit, Company M,\n         and the \"Musketeers,\" and material regarding Barksdale's\n         associations with \n          Hollins College and the \n          University of Virginia . Some genealogical\n         material is also contained in this section.","A major portion of the collection consists of speeches\n         given by \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale , with\n         background material, correspondence, and miscellaneous items.\n         Barksdale delivered speeches at naturalization ceremonies at \n          Roanoke and other \n          Virginia locations many times over a\n         period of about twenty years. He often spoke to various \n          University of Virginia alumni groups,\n         women's groups, bar associations, and at various \n          Virginia Military Institute , court, and\n         law school functions. Some speeches are related to special\n         functions Barksdale performed such as introducing \n          Greer Garson and \n          John F. Kennedy on the occasions when they\n         spoke in \n          Lynchburg . It should be noted that\n         material in the chronological correspondence overlaps with\n         both topical correspondence and speeches. This material was\n         not transferred as Barksdale had filed it chronologically.","Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's\n         miscellaneous papers and memorabilia consist of family,\n         personal, and professional items. His memorabilia from World\n         War I includes contemporary postcards from places he visited\n         in \n          Europe . Contained in this section, as\n         well as in the section of oversized material, are Barksdale's\n         certificates for awards he won and positions he held. Two\n         folders contain listings of addresses of people with whom he\n         was acquainted.","The printed material section contains printed items used in\n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale 's military and\n         professional careers, and printed memorabilia from the \n          Virginia Military Institute and the \n          University of Virginia . Three folders of\n         newspaper clippings relate to important events in his life and\n         career, including the trial of several German-American Bund\n         leaders, convicted of violating the Selective Service Act in\n         1942 in \n          New York City , at which \n          Alfred Dickinson Barksdale served as\n         judge.","See the \n             \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","","University of Virginia.

The 1853 diary\n         discusses matters of a personal nature while the 1860 diary\n         discusses his involvement with the \n          Virginia Military Institute as President\n         of its Board of Visitors and as Chairman of the Armory\n         Commission.","The first diary contains entries from August 11-18, 1853,\n         which discuss a journey from \n          Belmead to \n          Warm Springs, Bath County, Virginia with\n         stops at \n          Bremo , \n          Fluvanna County and \n          Lexington .

The April 26 meeting was held in\n         the office of Adjunct-General \n          William H. Richardson , and was also\n         attended by Col. \n          William McLaughlin , Col. \n          Samuel Downing , and Col. \n          Francis H. Smith . During the meeting,\n         they adopted a resolution authorizing Superintendent Smith to\n         proceed with recommendations outlined in his report to the\n         Board on [\"Scientific Education in Europe\"] and later\n         submitted to the General Assembly. The Act of March 28, 1860,\n         increased the annuity to V.M.I., and the sum of $20,000 was\n         specifically appropriated for building purposes. Another\n         meeting that afternoon was attended by Gen. \n          George Blow and Col. \n          William H. Payne in addition to the\n         others. There is some discussion of meetings of the Armory\n         Commission consisting of Cocke, Col. \n          Francis H. Smith , and Capt. \n          George W. Randolph . Randolph reported\n         that \n          [James T.] Ames responded favorably to\n         their proposition and offered to furnish weapons machinery\n         used for rolling [musket barrels?]. On April 27, the\n         Commission discussed plans for organizing and operating an\n         armory, a decision to examine the \n          Springfield Armory and visit Ames' works\n         at \n          Chicopee, Massachusetts , and the\n         reorganization of the State Armory. \n          [Henry A.] du Pont furnished a plan and\n         specification for building a powder magazine, and the\n         Commission resolved to purchase $10,000 worth of powder. On\n         April 30, the subjects of the patented breech loading rifle, a\n         new English pistol, and the \n          Massachusetts Fire Arm Company at \n          Chicopee are mentioned. On May 1, the\n         Commission toured the \n          Frankfort Arsenal in \n          Pennsylvania where machinery for making\n         musket and pistol percussion caps was seen. The discussion\n         includes costs and operation by steam-engine. Cocke also\n         mentions the \"Pyrotechny \u0026 Military Laboratory\" at V.M.I.,\n         and the amount of gunpowder contracted and to be deported to\n         the magazines at \n          Richmond and \n          Lexington . He also notes that du Pont was\n         a classmate of Smith's at \n          West Point , and that he met one of his\n         own classmates, \n          Tench Tilghman of \n          Maryland . On May 3, the Commission\n         travelled to \n          Springfield to see Ames in connection with\n         the manufacture of sabers at \n          Chicopee . They met with Major \n          [William Anderson?] Thornton of the \n          United States Army , who had just\n         completed his inspection of 1,000 cavalry sabers made by Ames\n         for \n          Virginia . Ames agreed to meet them at his\n         works at \n          Chicopee , where the Commission had a tour\n         during which they saw the operation of machinery by water and\n         the machine shops with wrought iron and specimens of hinge\n         castings. Cocke mentions that Ames makes many crossfield guns\n         and howitzers for the \n          United States Government, and is\n         manufacturing the rifle-musket for the Queen of \n          Spain .
