Guide to the Collection
Abstract
This collection consists of the papers of John A. Andrew, prominent anti-slavery lawyer and Civil War governor of Massachusetts, and includes correspondence, scrapbooks, and miscellaneous records, as well as some papers of Andrew's wife, Eliza Jones Hersey Andrew, and his son, John Forrester Andrew.
Biographical Sketch
John Albion Andrew (1818-1867) was a prominent anti-slavery lawyer and Civil War governor of Massachusetts. A native of Windham, Maine, Andrew graduated from Bowdoin College in 1837 and began the practice of law in Boston in 1840. He became active in antebellum reform movements, speaking out strongly in favor of temperance and against slavery, and joined fellow attorneys Richard Henry Dana, Jr. (1815-1882) and Charles Sumner (1811-1874) in litigation related to freedom seekers. Politically, Andrew was one of the organizers of the anti-slavery Free Soil Party and later helped in the formation of the Republican Party of Massachusetts. Elected overwhelmingly to five one-year terms between 1861 and 1866, the popular Governor Andrew was a leader among the chief executives of northern states in furthering the Union cause during the Civil War. A stalwart supporter of President Abraham Lincoln and his policies, Andrew was in the forefront of vigorous efforts to raise funds and gather troops for the war against the Confederacy. He also advocated the emancipation of enslaved people at an early date and lobbied successfully for the creation of the first all-Black Union regiment, the 54th Massachusetts.
Collection Description
The papers of John A. Andrew, 1772-1895, consist of 25 boxes of loose manuscripts and 16 bound volumes of letterbooks, scrapbooks, and miscellaneous records, microfilmed onto 43 reels. The collection contains a small amount of material on Andrew's antebellum activities on behalf of the anti-slavery and temperance causes; freedom seeker cases; the operations of the New England Emigrant Aid Company, which promoted anti-slavery settlements in Kansas, 1854-1857; and family and personal business matters after 1865. However, the bulk of the collection relates to Andrew's governorship, 1861-1866. Areas especially well documented are: Republican affairs in Massachusetts and the nation, including party nominations, elections, patronage, and Andrew's contributions to the war effort; the recruitment and provisioning of troops; and military appointments and promotions. Correspondence with Francis W. Bird, George S. Boutwell, Charles Sumner, and Henry Wilson relates to Republican Party matters. Letters to and from Albert C. Browne, Jr., George H. Gordon, Henry Lee, Jr., George Gordon Meade, and Horace Binney Sargent discuss the military situation in the field. Among the other important correspondents represented in the collection are: Charles Francis Adams, Nathaniel P. Banks, Maria Weston Chapman, James Freeman Clarke, Richard Henry Dana, Jr., Edward Everett, William Lloyd Garrison, Horace Greeley, Edward Everett Hale, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Julia Ward Howe, Abraham Lincoln, William H. Seward, and Edwin M. Stanton.

Detailed Description of the Collection
I. Loose manuscripts, 1772-1886
A. Correspondence, 1772-1886
This subseries consists primarily of correspondence, although Box 1, covering the period 1772-1860, contains a number of Andrew family deeds and other legal documents, as well as letters concerning Andrew's early legal and political career. Boxes 2-17 contain mostly incoming correspondence that documents the Andrew governorship, 1861-1866. Boxes 18-22 contain correspondence relating to Andrew's wife, Eliza Jones Hersey Andrew, and his son, John Forrester Andrew, 1868-1886.
Reel 16 contains four letters by Gov. John A. Andrew, 30 Jan.-9 Feb. 1863, about the appointment of Robert Gould Shaw as colonel of the 54th Regiment, Massachusetts Infantry, the first all-Black regiment raised in the North. These four letters were given to the MHS by Shaw's sister, Ellen Shaw Barlow, in 1928.
B. Miscellaneous papers, 1851-1866
This subseries consists of miscellaneous loose manuscripts and some printed material. Box 23 contains political speeches, 1860-1864; notes and briefs concerning the cases of freedom seekers Shadrach Minkins (1851) and Anthony Burns (1854); similar material relating to the murder case of Edward W. Green (1866); and miscellaneous material on the temperance question and the spinet piano, in which Andrew took an apparent interest. Box 24 contains fragments of letters, legal notes, and other miscellaneous items. Box 25 includes a small number of autographs and calling cards of individuals such as Henry Ward Beecher, David E. Farragut, John C. Fremont, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, George B. McClellan, and William Tecumseh Sherman; loose newspaper clippings concerning the life and public service of Andrew and Henry Greenleaf Pearson's Life of John A. Andrew (1904); and a lengthy index of the governor's correspondents, 1861-1866. The loose clippings, owing to their poor condition, have not been microfilmed.
II. Bound volumes, 1860-1895
This series consists of letterbooks containing mostly official correspondence, scrapbooks on the careers of both John Albion and John Forrester Andrew, and other volumes.
