    Description

    Condition as seen.  Son of Confederate General James Simons Sr.
    James Simons (1813-1879) of Charleston, S.C., was a lawyer, legislator, and militia general. His son, James Simons Jr. (1839-1919), was a student in Leipzig, Germany; a Confederate officer; a state legislator; a lawyer; and was active in the Society of the Cincinnati as president of the state society in 1898 and vice president general of the national organization in 1902. The collection consists chiefly of the papers of James Simons, mostly concerning his activities with the South Carolina militia, 1855-1860, including correspondence and court martial proceedings related to his controversy with Edward McCrady Jr. (1833-1903), lawyer and historian, over McCrady's rank. Other materials include letters, 1840s, from James Louis Petigru about legal matters, and two letterpress copy books, 1858-1860 and 1862-1866, relating to Simons's legal practice and militia matters. The papers of James Simons Jr. consist chiefly of family letters received while he was studying at Leipzig, Germany, during the 1850s. Letters discuss social and political news. Also included are miscellaneous items related to the Society of the Cincinnati, 1889-1917.
