Content
Smith's scrapbook contains a variety of newspaper clippings and pamphlets of speeches related to the Civil War and politics during that era. Most of the clippings are either speeches given by Smith, letters written by Smith, or articles that reference Smith. Many of the articles concern the Smith's 1863 campaign for U.S. Representative from Kentucky's 61 Congressional District, the political issues Smith faced while in Congress, and the political climate in Kentucky during the war.
